Wordpress - Set Published Date
- by danit
Using this function:
function wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,
$password,$category,**$pubdate**,$keywords='',$encoding='UTF-8')
{
$title = htmlentities($title,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);
$keywords = htmlentities($keywords,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);
$content = array(
'title'=>$title,
'description'=>$body,
'mt_allow_comments'=>1, // 1 to allow comments
'mt_allow_pings'=>0, // 1 to allow trackbacks
'post_type'=>'post',
'post_status' => 'draft',
**'post_date' =>$pubdate,**
'mt_keywords'=>$keywords,
'categories'=>array($category)
);
$params = array(0,$username,$password,$content,true);
$request = xmlrpc_encode_request('metaWeblog.newPost',$params);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
$results = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $results;
}
My Code:
$title = $correctdataandtime;
$body = '<a href="' . $links['alternate'] . '" />' . '<img src="' . $links['image'] . '" />' . '</a>';
$pubdate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $datetime);
//Default Settings
$rpcurl = 'http://vl3.co.uk/xmlrpc.php';
$username = 'admin';
$password = '3cdsbvre';
$category = '1'; //default is 1, enter a number here.
$keywords = 'Twitter';//keywords comma seperated.
$encoding ='UTF-8';//utf8 recommended
wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$pubdate,$category,$keywords,$encoding);
Output of $pubdate is: 2010-04-05 19:25:31
However it still sets the published date as the date and time when i run the script.
