I need to understand your need to be able to answer you accordinglly. * Thread Starter [szunyi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/szunyi/) * (@szunyi) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-post-from-php-script/#post-7203760) * Okay, i want to insert post to wordpress from PHP file.
