Changelog
Version | Description |
---|---|
2.0.0 | Introduced. |
Before using this function for your own theme or plugin, be wary of these non-obvious implicit behaviors (as of 4.2.3):
post_category
member set, even if the$post_type
does not use the category taxonomy.post_category
value will be scalar, which causes warnings passed intowp_insert_post
without additional manipulation.$_REQUEST
if present, which may not be the intended goal.
