Here is the function that I used to insert attachments to a post.
function insert_entries($filename, $parent_post_id){
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $filename ), null );
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( $filename ),
'post_mime_type' => $filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace( '/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename( $filename ) ),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, $parent_post_id );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
}
The issue with this is that, When I am trying to insert any files after inserting a 3gp or m4v file, its not getting inserted. Any insight to solve this is welcome..
Thanks in advance..
Atlast got it fixed.
The reason for the issue was when we try to insert any audio or video files the wordpress tries extract its metadata which was causing for a fatal error.
The simple fix for this is to go to includes/image.php and remove all references to wp_read_video_metadata()

I have a custom php form that upload images to a folder on my website. Currently that folder is outside the wp-content folder.
I want the content of the folder to be automatically uploaded to Google drive. There are plenty of plugins or a zapier solution to do that if the folder is in the wp media folder.
My question is...Can I just upload the images directly to the wp media folder or do I need to use a special wp method/function/api call.
Yes you can upload media directly to the media library. Given your situation media_handle_upload() is probably the most logical way. Can read its documentation here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/media_handle_upload/
Take a look at this https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/60807/180725
Once you upload the media (to where you want, ftp, dropbox, s3 etc) you will need to register it with Wordpress.
$file_name = 'Some Name';
$file_path = '/path/to/uploads/2012/08/04/newfile.jpg';
$file_url = 'http://url/to/uploads/2012/08/04/newfile.jpg';
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($file, null);
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $file_url,
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => $file_name,
'post_status' => 'inherit',
'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
);
$attachment_id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment, $file_path);
$attachment_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $file_path);
wp_update_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $attachment_data);
If you are looking for a solution to upload files to wordpress Mediathek / Library from an external Source/URL, I recommend the following code:
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$image_data = file_get_contents($image_url);
$filename = basename($image_url);
if(wp_mkdir_p($upload_dir['path']))
$file = $upload_dir['path'] . '/' . $filename;
else
$file = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/' . $filename;
file_put_contents($file, $image_data);
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($filename, null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => sanitize_file_name($filename),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $file, $post_ID );
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $file );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
set_post_thumbnail( $post_ID, $attach_id );

Currently I am using wp_upload_bits to upload images externally to my website and its working now, however the images are maintaining our source URL as the file name.
$post['image'] = $_POST['image'];
$upload = wp_upload_bits($_POST['image'], null, file_get_contents($_POST['image']));
$filename = $upload['file'];
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($filename, null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => 'cover',
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, $post_id );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $hello );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id );
The above code returns something which looks similar to this within our WordPress site.
How can I solve this, so that I can set my file name via a string?
Change: $filename = $upload['file'];
To: $filename = basename($upload['file']);
Then it will be stored as: llYtuLT-10.jpg
i am trying to insert posts automatically to wordpress. Posts i posted is very well but somehow i can't generate metadatas for thumbnails.
Here is my code for metadatas
$filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $thumb ), null );
$bol = explode('/', $thumb);
$fileur = $bol[count($bol)-1];
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$tits = $wp_upload_dir['path'].'/'.basename($thumb);
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( $thumb ),
'post_mime_type' => $filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace( '/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename( $thumb ) ),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attachment_id=wp_insert_attachment($attachment, $tits, $post_id);
require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $tits );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
set_post_thumbnail($post_id,$attachment_id);
I read all the connected questions on community but it doesnt helped my issue. Best regards
According to this WP wiki page: wp_insert_attachment you must use unchanged file path from upload dir for these functions: wp_insert_attachment, wp_generate_attachment_metadata
In your codebase, I see that you're doing something wrong with your $thumb like extracting its basename and building a new path that lives in $tits. I am 99% sure that the problem is of wrong file path.
In this piece of code, an empty file is getting stored in upload folder, but not a proper image file attached. I don't know why.
I'm also not getting the proper usage of wp_upload_bits, it writes a file in upload folder. I don't know how to change that to suite it for the uploading of an image.
I'm totally confused with the error in my code.
I know that there are multiple duplicate question related to it in stack overflow, but I'm not getting a proper result while using the solution described there. Please help me to find a solution.
My piece of code is as follows:
$upload = wp_upload_bits( $_FILES['file']['name'], null, file_get_contents( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] ) );
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $upload['file'] ), null );
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $upload['url'] ,
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename( $upload['file'] )),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $upload['file'], $post_id);
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $upload['file'] );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $attach_id );
set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id );
While using this code,attach file is getting stored in WordPress DB, but not in upload folder (media library).
I'm new to WordPress, so I am unable to find a solution for the reason of not storing a proper attached image file in upload folder.
I want to upload an image to wordpress via a php script completely outside wordpress. I know what tables i have to insert data to. However I've noticed that if i pass through the normal way wordpress creates various sizes of the image and also save this in db. Is there a way to simulate the upload of the image using a script completely outside wordpress.
Yes, it would be something like this:
<?php
header('Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK');
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('../../../../wp-load.php');
$uploadedfile = $_FILES['image'];
if($uploadedfile['size'] > 0){
$upload_overrides = array( 'test_form' => false );
if ( ! function_exists( 'wp_handle_upload' ) ) require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php' );
$movefile = wp_handle_upload( $uploadedfile, $upload_overrides );
if ($movefile) {
$wp_filetype = $movefile['type'];
$filename = $movefile['file'];
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( $filename ),
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype,
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($filename)),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename);
require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
die(json_encode(array('type'=>'error', 'text' => 'Ok', 'error' => 0)));
}else{
die(json_encode(array('type'=>'error', 'error' => 1)));
}
}
die(json_encode(array('type'=>'error', 'error' => 2)));
}
?>
Please note that i´ve pasted my code, you´ll have to work with it a little bit ;)
