I have a function in function.php and it does wp_insert_post. how can I get the post id which just posted?

when I do wp_insert_posts, it saves a PR value (unique and it saves in post-meta table). Do I need to do "select"? like select post_id from wp-post where oid=".$oid...... etc like this?

I have tried to get
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post); $post_id = get_post($post_id) But these are not working.

I am not also very good at wp join. how can I do?

  • I just made it like this.. $newest_post_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'us_visa' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1"); is it ok after just did wp-insert-post?

Reset to default

$post_ID = wp_insert_post($post);

... should work, as you mentioned. From the Codex:

Returns the ID of the post if the post is successfully added to the database. On failure, it returns 0 if $wp_error is set to false, or a WP_Error object if $wp_error is set to true.

    it comes "0". I did $post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post); // This will redirect you to the newly created post echo "cc=".$post_id; like this.
