   Hi all,
   I would like to know how to create a WordPress page programmatically. I would like to set the page title, the desc and the template to use, and create the page with PHP code. I tried to hack and directly insert rows in WordPress tables, but it failed to work properly.
   Any idea is welcomed :)
   Thanks in advance,
   Nicolas

   Hi

   The WP code that inserts the initial posts after a WP install is in this file wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php You can use it as a starting point

   Here you go,

   global $user_ID;
   
   $page['post_type']    = 'page';
   $page['post_content'] = 'Put your page content here';
   $page['post_parent']  = 0;
   $page['post_author']  = $user_ID;
   $page['post_status']  = 'publish';
   $page['post_title']   = 'Your Page Title';
   $page = apply_filters('yourplugin_add_new_page', $page, 'teams');
   $pageid = wp_insert_post ($page);
   if ($pageid == 0) { /* Add Page Failed */ }

   Shows up in the menu and everything.
   You can add other variables to the $page array as well, but this is all you need. Just take a look at the posts database table for all the options you could use.

   Keep on Keepin' On! :-P

   Funny... Had forgotten this ticket opened 6 months ago, but had the same need a few days ago... Check it and realized you posted an answer 1 day ago :)

   And your solution works like a charm !!! Thanks a lot.

   @shawnkltucker - I would love to use this code but I have no idea what includes are needed to get it to work or if the data needs to be posted to a specific URL etc. Noob here :-)

   I see leroy12 is happy so I guess he is skilled enough to know how to utilise this snippet of code.

   Thanks.
