    You need to implement a separate wp_insert_post() for each post type. You can also use the same array, just adjust the 2nd one.

    Rough example:

    $array = [
 'post_type' => 'post',
 'post_content' => 'Hello World'
];
wp_insert_post($array);

$array['post_type'] = 'stories';
wp_insert_post($array);

    Then you need to build your array accordingly as you need it for each wp_insert_post(). Unfortunately you can’t copy the source code from the image to build a template for it.

    it’s my own code for my custom template I ask if it is possible ? to insert meta_input into both post types.

    I tried but it will not work for me, help me to fix it?

    Yes, it is possible. As already written you need 2 wp_insert_post() – one for each post type. And the array you pass to wp_insert_post() you have to build as you need it.

    Please post the relevant code here as text so that you can be shown the corrections if necessary.
