how to create wordpress pages by script

For plugin or custom wordpress theme we need create wordpress pages by script. In this article we given code to how to create wordpress pages by script.

how to create wordpress pages by script

You can create the pages by using script. You can execute any script using the “$wpdb->insert” or

“$wpdb->query”.

For creating wordpress post or page you can use the wp_insert_post function. Before calling wp_insert_post() it is necessary to create an object (typically an array) to pass the necessary elements that make up a post. The wp_insert_post() will fill out a default list of these but the user is required to provide the title and content otherwise the database write will fail.

You can use following code for creating the page. This code will execute when only you are logged in to wordpress.

// Create post object
  $my_post = array();
  $my_post['post_title'] = 'My post';
  $my_post['post_content'] = 'This is my post.';
  $my_post['post_status'] = 'publish';
  $my_post['post_author'] = 1;
  $my_post['post_type'] = 'page',
  $my_post['post_category'] = array(8,39);

// Insert the post into the database
  wp_insert_post( $my_post );

You can create wordpress plugin and use this code. Use following code for wordpress plugin. Copy the code and create the create_wordpress_pages.php file and put in plugin folder.

/*
Plugin Name: Create WordPress Pages
Plugin URI: http://images.purabtech.in/
Description: Create wordpress pages by script
Version: 1.0
Author: wordpressapi
Author URI: http://images.purabtech.in/
*/
function create_wordpress_pages(){
// Create post object
  $my_post = array();
  $my_post['post_title'] = 'My post';
  $my_post['post_content'] = 'This is my post.';
  $my_post['post_status'] = 'publish';
  $my_post['post_author'] = 1;
  $my_post['post_type'] = 'page',
  $my_post['post_category'] = array(8,39);

// Insert the post into the database
  wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'create_wordpress_pages');

How to use pagination in wordpress post without plugin

There is difference between post pagination and in post pagination.If you want to keep pagination in wordpress post without plugin, Than use our code

When we are developing the new wordpress theme then we need to always need to think about post pagination and in post pagination. Yes, there is difference between post pagination and in post pagination.

How to use pagination in wordpress post without plugin

If you want to keep single post and pagination between in single post that is also possible through wordpress api. In this article I will show you hwo to use the in page or post pagination.

Open your single.php file from wordpress theme folder and put following code in that.

<?php wp_link_pages( ); ?>

We can pass the following parameter the this function.

<?php $args = array(
    'before'           => '<p>' . __('Pages:'),
    'after'            => '</p>',
    'link_before'      => ,
    'link_after'       => ,
    'next_or_number'   => 'number',
    'nextpagelink'     => __('Next page'),
    'previouspagelink' => __('Previous page'),
    'pagelink'         => '%',
    'more_file'        => ,
    'echo'             => 1 ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( $args ); ?>

This is the one of the sample code.

<?php wp_link_pages('before=</pre>
&after=
<pre>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=page %'); ?>

Now I will explain What wordpress doing for using this function. WordPress is using simple explode php function for using the next page tag. Like following way.

$content = get_the_content();
$pages = explode('<!--<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="" data-mce-bogus="1">nextpage</span>-->', $content);

you can also use the above code in your loop.

how to display all months wordpress posts on homepage

In this article, we will show you how to retrieve wordpress posts within specific time frame and display all months wordpress post. code snippet with detail.

how to display all months wordpress posts on homepage

WordPress is providing as full proof wordpress api so we can achieve the this using wordpress api only.

You can use the query_posts() function for fetching the wordpress posts. Open your index.php from your wordpress template folder. Before loop just use the following code for in index.php file.


$current_date = getdate();
query_posts(monthnum=' .$current_date["mon"] );

You can pass the multiple parameters to query_posts function as per your requirement.

hour= – hour (from 0 to 23)
minute= – minute (from 0 to 60)
second= – second (0 to 60)
day= – day of the month (from 1 to 31)
monthnum= – month number (from 1 to 12)
year= – 4 digit year (e.g. 2009)
w= – week of the year (from 0 to 53)

Now I will show the another example. which will show only current date post on home page.


$current_date = getdate();
query_posts('year=' .$current_date["year"] .'&monthnum=' .$current_date["mon"] .'&day=' .$current_date["mday"] );

Another good example for fetching the 30 days latest post from wordpress

<!--?php
//based on Austin Matzko's code from wp-hackers email list
  function filter_where($where = '') {
    //posts in the last 30 days
    $where .= " AND post_date --> '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";
    return $where;
  }
add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
query_posts($query_string);
?>

Using above code you can display all months wordpress posts.
