Custom Post Type

If you created a custom post type, you must have the custom post type. For example, I am creating a custom post type as jobs to understand, how to insert a custom post type for job.  Let’s program to create a job in it.

wp_insert_post( 
 	array( 'ID' => (if its update, you have to provide existing post, you can use the ID to update it), // optional
 		'post_author' => (author ID), 
 		'post_content' => $_POST['content'], // content of the article,
  		'post_title' => $_POST['title'], // title of the article
  		'post_status' => 'publish', // I just published the post directly, but you can change the status as of your need
  		'post_type' => 'jobs', // here is my custom post type, you can change it to your own type there.
  		'post_category' => array(25, 35),
  		'tax_input' => array('WordPress', 'post')
  	) 
);

That’s it.

The main part is here.

'post_type' => 'jobs',
