posts_exists() casts error that the function does not exist

Right. And even though I misspelled it here :), that is the function I called :post_exists()

I copied it right out of the Developer documentation.

Thanks!

I’m using it inside a function that is in the main file of a plugin I am building. Pretty simple “textbook” usage as gleaned from the docs:

// Query for published listing
function is_this_name_already_listed( $post_title, $content = ”, $date = ” ) {
$result = post_exists( $post_title, $content = ”, $date = ”);
return $result;
}

I pass in the post title in the form of a string stored inside the variable:

$post_title = “Lastname, Firstname” which is the form it is stored inside the row of the CPT.

Thanks again 🙂
