How to edit the properties of a page programmatically?












4















I know that I can programmatically create a new page via wp_insert_post setting 'post-type' to 'page.'



How do I go about editing that page programmatically? (title, content, slug, etc.)



Also, if I wanted to set the template for that page programmatically, how would I do that?

          If you look at the documentation, you can insert title, content, slug, etc. using wp_insert_post then use update_post_meta to assign the template to that post.



          You can write like this



          $post_arr = array(
          
    'post_title'=>'My title goes here',
          
    'post_content'=>'This is my long content.',
          
    'post_excerpt' => 'My Excerpt',
          
    'post_status' => 'publish',
          
);
          
$new_post_id = wp_insert_post($post_arr);


          Then set template like this. 



          update_post_meta( $new_post_id, '_wp_page_template',  'template-file.php' );


          To see more options for wp_insert_post, you can check it's documentation page.

            @Eli if you look up the docs there's a wp_update_post, which is just a wrapper around wp_insert_post, but keep in mind we have a 1 question per question policy here, don't "mung" or "squish" all your questions together, it can drastically reduce the opportunities for answers

          • To edit/update the data, you can pass ID to the $post_arr, if a post with that ID exists, wp_insert_post will update old data instead of creating a new one.

          Histoire des bourses de valeurs

          Image
          L’ histoire des bourses de valeurs retrace les étapes de l'émergence d'espaces de valorisation des obligations, qui dominent ainsi jusqu'au milieu du XIX e  siècle. Auparavant, le financement des armements navals vénitiens et hollandais sous la forme d'actions reste une exception. Elles prennent leur essor au XVIII e  siècle sur un marché déjà mondialisé, soutenu par les banques centrales et le Trésor public. L'émergence de la presse écrite, qui publie des listes de cours, puis du télégraphe, qui les diffuse rapidement, permet aux entreprises de faire connaître leur activité et aux actions de prendre le relais vers le milieu du XIX e  siècle, le développement des chemins de fer, de l'extraction de matières premières et précieuses s'ajoutant à celui des banques et des canaux. La Bourse reste affaire de territoires et concessions. Jusqu'au XX e  siècle, les entreprises industrielles n'y prennent qu'une place minoritaire, avant d'y connaît...
