I’m a beginner and I’m trying to write a WordPress Plugin in PHP to auto-update content on multiple pages.
I managed to make it work, it updates correctly, however it breaks multiple page options (controlled by the theme). I believe it’s caused by the wp_update_post()
function.
I’m looking for the REST API equivalent of this, since it works successfully when I tried with Python.
<?php . .. ... $new_content = str_replace($old_data, $new_data, $content); $edited_post = ['ID'=> $pageID, 'post_content' => $new_content]; wp_update_post( $edited_post);
Thank you !

Found the answer :
wp_set_current_user(1); // IMPORTANT FOR CRONJOB $request = new WP_REST_Request( 'PUT', '/wp/v2/pages/'.$pageID ); $request->set_query_params( [ 'content' => $new_content ] ); $rest_response = rest_do_request($request); wp_set_current_user(0);
In case someone needs it 😉
