Taxonomy not attached to post

    import post by program.
    I use :

    $term[] = “sport »;

$my_post = array(
post_title’ => $title_headline,
post_content’ => $body,
post_excerpt’ => $postExcerpt,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘post_category’ => $term,
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
post_author’ => $userID,
‘tax_input’ => array(‘category’ => $term),
‘post_date’ => date( ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, $thisrevisioncreated )
);
$new_post = wp_insert_post($my_post);

    The post is created, but taxonomy is not attached to the post. Why ?

    Because the category taxonomy is hierarchical, you must use an array of term IDs as the “tax_input” value. Names are not acceptable because category terms can have the same name through differing ancestry. On this doc page, scroll down to the “tax_input” arg.

    The quotes you use in your code as posted here are improper for proper PHP syntax (and some are missing). I suspect your original code is OK, something got corrupted in the copy/paste process. I did edit your topic to use the code block instead of a citation block, but the code was already corrupted. I made no attempt to correct it.

    Anytime you post code in these forums, please use the code block. Doing so minimizes the chance your code will become corrupted.

    Hello,

    It’s work with ID.

    But why it’s work with (“sport” is the slug):

    $term[] = "sport";
    wp_set_object_terms($new_post, $term, 'category');

    Strange behavior:
    If I launch the import of articles via the back-office, the categories are correctly attached. But if the program runs automatically from the cron, then the default category is always attached to the article, and not the one I want.

    I suppose it could work with a slug where there’s no redundancy, but it’s Doing It Wrong® since the possibility of redundancy exists.
