Is there any way to add a custom URL to the wp_insert_post function?

$my_post = array(
    'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['post_title'] ),
    'post_content'  => $_POST['post_content'],
    'post_status'   => 'publish',
    'post_author'   => 1,
    'post_category' => array( 8,39 )
 );
wp_insert_post( $my_post );

  • If you mean post slug, then use post_name parameter.

  • If i put "Lorem ipsum" as name, the url will be "/lorem-ipsum". But i need to put to custom url for the post. In this case, i want the url to be "/myurl" instead of "/lorem-ipsum".

You can use post_name parameter.

$my_post = array(
    'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['post_title'] ),
    'post_content'  => $_POST['post_content'],
    'post_status'   => 'publish',
    'post_author'   => 1,
    'post_category' => array( 8,39 ),
    'post_name'     => 'your-url'
 );
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
