How to POST – not only GET

    Hello,

    I’m trying to make an external function that “writes” some information into my wordpress. When I make a CURL with the POST, the only fields that it writes are the standar ones, not the custom fields that appears on “rest_api_enabler”.

    It’s possible to make a POST with custom fields with this plugin?

    Thanks in advance.

    PS: my json is like this:

    {
        'title': Test!',
        'content': 'Hello World',
        'status': 'publish',
        'author': 3,
        'featured_media': 21,
        'sticky': true,
        'comment_status': 'closed',
        'rest_api_enabler': {
                'movies_length': '94',
                'event_country': 'USA',
                'event_year': '2016',
                'event_imdb_rating': '5.9'
        }
}

  • Any luck with this?

    I’m using curl_setopt_array with the following field set to:

    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => "title=".$title."&content=".$email."&site_url=".$email."&status=publish&excerpt=excerpt%20test",

    Title and Content are sent as per the variables, but my custom post_meta (site_url) is not added. I’ll follow this and post back if find a way of writing post_meta

    Hello!

    I already gave this an impossible and I’ve been programming in PHP directly against wordpress.

    If this helps you, the simple code is this:

    // --------------------------
// WordPress Init.
// --------------------------

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'wp-blog-header.php');

$user = wp_authenticate('myUser', 'myPass');

// --------------------------
// WordPress Post.
// --------------------------

$body = array(
            'post_title' => 'My Cool Title',
            'post_content' => '',
            'post_status' => 'publish',
            'post_type' => 'movies',
            'post_name' => 'my-cool-title',
            'post_author' => get_current_user_id(),
            'meta_input' => array(
                'movies_length' => '94',
                'event_country' => 'USA',
                'event_year' => '2016'
            )
        );

    $post_id = wp_insert_post($body, true);

    if (is_wp_error($post_id)) {
        echo('Can't Create: ' . $post_id->get_error_message());
        echo "<br />";
    } else {
        echo('Created! ID: ' . $post_id);
        echo "<br />";
    }

    Hi there,

    Indeed, this plugin only affects the read capabilities of the REST API.

    Thanks!
