Post edit via script creates unwanted results.

  • The following code is supposed to remove a specified category from a post and update the publish date of the post. This part works, however the script seems to be replacing < br /> tags with < br > tags.

    Anyone have an idea why or how to prevent that?

    if ($post_id_to_update) {
  $args='';
  $old_terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post_id_to_update , $taxonomy, $args);
  $new_terms = array();
  if ($old_terms) {
    foreach ( $old_terms as $old_term ) {
      if ($old_term->term_id != $term->term_id) {
        $new_terms[]=$old_term->name;
      }
    }
  }
  wp_set_post_terms( $post_id_to_update, $new_terms, $taxonomy, $return );
}

$my_post = array();
  $my_post['ID'] = $post_id_to_update;
  $my_post['post_date'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
  $my_post['post_date_gmt'] = gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s");
wp_update_post( $my_post );

$wpdb->flush();

    Update,

    The above code also removes flash object code, for example,

    This code,
    <object width="400" height="265"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="https://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10666627&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="https://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10666627&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="265"></embed></object><p><a href="https://vimeo.com/10666627">My Ballins Is Magnificent</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/drthil">Dan Thilman</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

    Is changed to this after the script runs,
    <p><a href="https://vimeo.com/10666627">My Ballins Is Magnificent</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/drthil">Dan Thilman</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
