# Create posts with custom guid without "http://" ?

 * I’m creating posts and need to set the guid based on the primary key of the database
   table where the post info is coming from. I thought I could just add `'guid' 
   => 'myString'` to the post array, but that isn’t working as I had hoped. If I
   build the guid string by appending something to `site_url()`, all is fine. If
   I try to set a non-url string as the guid, WP appends the http:// to it. I would
   prefer it’s correct in the database as opposed to using a filter after the fact(
   get_the_guid ).
 * Any ideas?

 * You and me both. Right now this isn’t possible without a core code edit unfortunately.
