Hi I want to directly call several WordPress functions (wp_insert_post(), wp_insert_attachment() and more ) from a custom php file. Which file(s) should be included in my php file (I mean using include statement) so I can call those functions directly from my custom php file?

What do you mean by my “custom php file”.
You can call these functions from plugin or theme files.

thanks for your reply. well its a php file which resides outside of my wordpress folder. I am going to run this file using a cronjob to automatically insert the posts and their image attachments to my website. you know it is impossible to call wordpress core functions directly without importing those libraries so what is the include statement(s) i should put in my php file?

Never tried that before. Try this:
