 * hi I have the WordPress Environment in a PHP file that exists outside of my WordPress
   installation that uses wp-load.php
 * I have used this PHP file for inserting posts to my WordPress site that works
   fine.
 * but after I migrate from my prior hosting to a new one.
 * inserting post is failed like this image
 * this is for what? (i guess after change hosting must set up new privileges for
   the user that insert post to site )
 * see image :

 * and I can’t delete posts
 * thanks

 * That looks more like data corruption due to migration than any issue with wp-
   load.php. Including wp-load.php is frowned upon because it can be problematic
   when utilized on certain installations that use non-standard paths to resources.
   When that happens there are very obvious PHP and file system errors.
 * One way data gets corrupted on migration is the post table’s auto-increment value
   does not get updated to be greater than the highest ID number. I’ve no idea of
   that’s the issue here, but it’s a possibility.
 * The WP user capabilities are maintained in the DB and should be correctly migrated.
   The DB user WP uses (defined in wp-config.php) may need its permissions set for
   the new WP database. Usually done in phpMyAdmin, but can vary somewhat by host.
