A WordPress "news feed"

Yes it is possible. You can use this action created_term or ‘created_category'( assuming the taxonomy is category )

heres a bit of code to get you started

add_action('created_term', 'post_tax_to_feed', 3);
function post_tax_to_feed( $term_id, $tt_id, $tax ){
if( $tax == 'company' ){
//its our custom taxonomy, insert the post here using wp_insert_post
}
}

for inserting post function, see this page https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post

This looks great thanks for your help. I think I get how to use wp_insert_post, but do I put the code in the loop?

nevermind, i see this goes into the functions file. Thanks for all your help. I’ll have a hell of time playing with this.

THANK YOU!

So, I spent a night messing with this. I have the following code in my functions.php file:

<?php

add_action('created_term', 'post_tax_to_feed', 3);
function post_tax_to_feed( $term_id, $tt_id, $tax ){
if( $tax == 'company' ){

// Create post object
  $my_post = array(
     'post_title' => 'My post',
     'post_content' => 'This is my post.',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'post_author' => 1,
  );

// Insert the post into the database
  wp_insert_post( $my_post );

}
}

?>

Whenever I create a new “company” I get the following error:

After refreshing the page the taxonomy gets created but no post is made.

Any ideas on what’s wrong?

oops..something wrong the code I posted
change this line

add_action('created_term', 'post_tax_to_feed', 3);

to

add_action('created_term', 'post_tax_to_feed', 10, 3);

Also, you can use this action too ‘created_company’. In this case no need to check for $tax == and no need of those 2 extra arguments in add_action.

Works like a charm. Thank you very much!
