Title: great code for remote posting Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # great code for remote posting * [chrisman826](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisman826/) * (@chrisman826) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-code-for-remote-posting/) * Note: this is not for the feint of heart…. * I was looking for a way to post new articles remotely, and cross domain. I only needed to post new articles, not read, edit or anything like that, so I did not need a whole GUI or any other Interface like those WP-Desktop-clients. I wrote this script which calls up my WP server and posts the article. WP handles it accordingly. Now, it works well, but there is a long wait with the fsockopen, it seems to continue until a timeout. if anyone know how to fix that, let me know. please. Beyond that, this isnt perfect, and is obviously left open for changes that will accustom to your own needs. some of this code i used and altered and modified some functions from xmlrpc.php. completely modded tho… * There are actually going to be 2 scripts. 1 is on the WP server, and one will be on the web server that is connecting to WordPress. * The method. I have to send all the Article peices (title, post, categorys, blah balh) to this script via POST. this could be done with a form or something. * remote_post.php (This script I have in the main directory of my wordpress.) * You really should not really need to CHANGE this script. just know what to post * ‘ID)){ return false; } $post_status = ‘publish’; $post_author = $user->ID; $post_category = split(“,” , $post_category); foreach( $post_category as $key=>$val){ $post_category[$key] = get_cat_ID($val); } //$ post_categories = array_unique($post_categories); $post_date = current_time(‘ mysql’); $post_date_gmt = current_time(‘mysql’, 1); $post_data = compact(‘post_author’,‘ post_date’, ‘post_date_gmt’, ‘post_content’, ‘post_title’, ‘post_category’, ‘ post_status’); $post_ID = wp_insert_post($post_data); if (!$post_ID) { return false; } return $post_ID; } //the wp username and pass must be send via POST. you may want to improve on this. //GET THE POSTED VARS $logon = $_POST[‘logon’]; $pass = $_POST[‘pass’]; $title = $_POST[‘title’]; $content = $_POST[‘content’];// $content = htmlspecialchars_decode($content); $category = $_POST[‘category’]; if( login_pass_ok($logon, $pass) == false){ echo “FAIL – INVALID LOGON OR PASS”;} else{ $posted = blogger_newPost($title, $content, $logon, $pass, $category); if ($posted == false){ echo “FAIL – INSERT QRY ERROR”; }else{ echo “SUCCESS”;}}? >’ * in the end it either says SUCCESS or FAIL and displays it. this is useful, as this is script is just being opened remotely. * this script here you will use to call upon the above script cross domain. values are posted. i personally used another database, and queried it. I had a lot more than this. again, i had to change it up to give you all a better example. so here i will also create a form you can write your post into. * You WILL FOR SURE need to change this ‘ ’ * This is a little crude here, but like i said it works. you WILL have to do some of your own work with it though. But this worked well for me. I could – for say – go to [http://www.mywebsite.com](http://www.mywebsite.com) – enter the information, and it would be submitted to [http://www.myWPblogsite.com](http://www.myWPblogsite.com) and published immediatly. * and someone lemme know if you fix the feof deal, or if you find a better way.
