wp_insert_post not working fine

Question

I asked my question on stackoverflow but I did not get any answer, may be because it's the question related to Wordpress.So I am asking it here.

I am using wp_insert_post function to insert my posts, but it is not working fine for me.

Here is my post_content

$content = '<div class="snippet">

   </p>
</div>';

When I am adding this as manually it is inserting while I am using cron to insert it just insert post up to "SEO"

Code is :

$my_post = array('post_title'=>'test post','post_content'=>$content);

Any suggestions to solve this?

Answer 1

As Joshua suggested in his comment, your code isn't escaped properly.

Just before "See Original Article" (in both snippets) you have target='_blank' on your links with single quotes. Replace that with double quotes target="_blank"

Answer 2

This is general idea of how wp_insert_post works

if(isset($_POST['submit']) && !empty($_POST['submit']))

    $title      = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['title'] );
    $content    = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['content'] );

    $args = array(
        'post_title'    => $title,
        'post_content'  => $content, // this is your  post content
        'post_status'   => 'publish', //publish, draft
        'post_type'     => 'post',  //write here your post type it may be post , or your  custom post type
    );

  $posts = wp_insert_post( $args );
