| Feb 9, 2017 at 16:29 | comment | added | Sheraz Ahmed | wouldn't XML still contain html tags etc? | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 16:20 | comment | added | David Lee | have you considered converting the data to the XML format for importing that WordPress accepts? | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 14:56 | comment | added | Sheraz Ahmed | wp_insert_post() passes data through sanitize_post(), which itself handles all necessary sanitization and validation (kses, etc.). but I need the images and links as they are in the wordpress... I will write a plugin for this if I find a solution. | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 14:48 | comment | added | C C | nah, I was just wondering. But I do tend to trust the organic WP method more than trying to roll my own DB functions. If I was doing this, I'd write it as a plugin and use wp_insert_post... | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 14:47 | comment | added | Sheraz Ahmed | I am writing a separate script outside WP on my local machine, connecting just the database and working with it. However, if wp has it's own way of doing this, I'll happily write the script in WP. Suggestion ? | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 14:40 | comment | added | C C | Just curious - you couldn't use a higher level WP function (e.g. wp_insert_post) and instead had to go to a direct SQL call? | |
