I tried to insert a post using the wp_insert_post
function in the functions.php
file, the post successfully inserted, but not for the attachment for featured image.
Anyone can help on this, what's wrong with my code below:
$post_if = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT count(post_title) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_title like '$title'");
if($post_if < 1){
//coded
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $contents,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_type' => 'post'
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);
$image = "https://fake.org/image.jpg";
$media = media_sideload_image($image, $post_id); //$post_id from wp_insert_post
// therefore we must find it so we can set it as featured ID
if(!empty($media) && !is_wp_error($media)){
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_status' => 'any',
'post_parent' => $post_id
);
// reference new image to set as featured
$attachments = get_posts($args);
if(isset($attachments) && is_array($attachments)){
foreach($attachments as $attachment){
// grab source of full size images (so no 300x150 nonsense in path)
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'full');
// determine if in the $media image we created, the string of the URL exists
if(strpos($media, $image[0]) !== false){
// if so, we found our image. set it as thumbnail
set_post_thumbnail($post_id, $attachment->ID);
// only want one image
break;
}
}
}
}
I tried so many tutorials, I found over the web, nothing to work.
Please any one has experienced with this can share a solution.
Big Thanks

You would need to set the "featured image" first and then try to query it. You tried to do the opposite. Also set the parent id in the wp_insert_attachment
function not in the arguments.
So try this code:
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $contents,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_type' => 'post'
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);
$image = "https://fake.org/image.jpg";
$attachment_file_type = wp_check_filetype(basename($image), null);
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$attachment_args = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename($image),
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.] $/', '', basename($image)),
'post_mime_type' => $attachment_file_type['type']
);
$attachment_id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment_args, $image, $post_id);
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attachment_meta_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $image);
wp_update_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $attachment_meta_data);
set_post_thumbnail($post_id, $attachment_id);
