php-wordpressHow to create a post in WordPress using PHP?

Creating a post in WordPress using PHP is a simple process. The following example code will create a post in WordPress using PHP:

$my_post = array(
  'post_title'    => 'My Post',
  'post_content'  => 'This is my post.',
  'post_status'   => 'publish',
  'post_author'   => 1
);

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

This code will create a post with the title "My Post" and the content "This is my post." The post will be published and the author will be the user with the ID of 1.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. An array containing the post data: $my_post
2. The wp_insert_post() function which inserts the post into the database
