Inserting Wordpress Post via External Script - php

Question

I'm trying to insert bulk posts via an external php script:
<?php
require_once '/full/path/to/wp-load.php';
require_once ABSPATH . '/wp-admin/includes/taxonomy.php';
$title = "some post title";
$content = "some content";
$tags= "tag1,tag2,tag3";
$user_id = 1;
// Create post object
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $content,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $user_id,
'post_type' => 'post',
'tags_input' => $tags,
);
$id = wp_insert_post($my_post,true);
?>
$id returns 0 and WP_Error is empty.
Post is inserted to DB with right title and content but without tags. It also fails to use wp_insert_terms() to insert tags or other custom taxonomies.
Did i miss a file to include or is there something i didn't set right to work functions properly?

Answer 1

you don't need to load taxonomy.php.. this functionality is handled by wp-load.php
also i would suggest that you put this on first position in your file:
define( 'WP_USE_THEMES', false );
than you can use wp_insert_post() to add the post.. but to add the tags or category and so on you need to use
wp_set_post_terms()
or
wp_set_object_terms()
with your recieved $id from wp_insert_post.

Answer 2

Please include the wordpress database files first.
require_once 'wp-load.php';
require_once ABSPATH . '/wp-admin/includes/taxonomy.php';
and use the following code to insert post dynamically from the external script.
$newIds = wp_insert_post( array(
'post_title' => $postCSVContent['1'],
'post_content' => $postCSVContent['2'],
'post_type' => 'doors',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_parent' => $parentId
));
