To insert a post programatically, you'll need to make a simple call to wp_insert_post().
01.$data = array(02. 'post_status' => 'draft',03. 'post_type' => 'post',04. 'post_author' => $user_ID,05. 'ping_status' => get_option('default_ping_status'),06. 'post_parent' => 0,07. 'menu_order' => 0,08. 'to_ping' => '',09. 'pinged' => '',10. 'post_password' => '',11. 'guid' => '',12. 'post_content_filtered' => '',13. 'post_excerpt' => '',14. 'import_id' => 0,15. 'post_content' => '',16. 'post_category' => array(),17. 'post_title' => ''18.);19. 20.$post_id = wp_insert_post($data);21. 22.add_post_meta($post_id, 'some-field-name', 'this was added programmatically');Anything in that $data array can be removed because those are the default values.
The trickiest bit is to get the categories working. The post_category bit requires the category ID, which you can get using get_cat_ID('Category Name').
add_post_meta() is optional, in case you needed to append some meta fields to your post.
And thats all there is to it!
