 * Hi.
    I am trying to build a plugin.I am trying to insert a static page programmatically
   when the plugin is installed. Here is the code:
 * function dbes_create_events_page()
    { global $wpdb; $sql= “INSERT INTO wp_posts(
   post-author,post_title) VALUES (‘admin’,’Eventi’)”; $wpdb->query($sql); }
 * As you see I just inserted two fields, for a test…
    This does not work, I just
   get error messages… WHat is the right way to implement this? Cheers, Davide
