Wordpress: How to programmatically add post for each day?
I would like to know if there is a possibility to have a script that creates automatically daily posts "from today" to "end date" (manually set in the script). So at each iteration post_date would be $date +1day.
First i don't know if this script must be executed in functions.php or elsswhere...
Second, i am newbie in php, so i have understood how to create 1 single post with "wp_insert_post" but i don't understand how to insert it in a loop.
Looking for help, if someone has an idea...
Thanks a lot

Yes, Of course we can do it.
From digging through /wp-includes/post.php, It looks like you may need to follow few steps:
- set your post_status to future.
- set the post_date to when you want it published.
insert the post as your code shows.
function daily_post_article() {
$begin = new DateTime("2018-11-01");
$end = new DateTime("2018-12-15");
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString("1 day");
$period = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval, $end);
foreach ($period as $dt) {
$publishDate = $dt->format("Y-m-d");
$postTitle = "Daily Post Title => ".$publishDate;
if ( !get_page_by_title( $postTitle, "OBJECT", "post" ) ){
$args = array(
"post_title"=> "Daily Post Title => ".$publishDate,
"post_type"=>"post",
"post_date" => $publishDate,
"post_status"=>"future"
);
$time = strtotime( $postdate . " GMT" );
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $args );
wp_schedule_single_event( $time, "publish_future_post", array( $post_id ) );
}
}
}
add_action("wp", "daily_post_article");
Each post will be automatically published on selected date.
