Quick Question

Hi,

I was curious if methods with the wp_ prefix are different from methods without… I am curious because I am have some difficulty with
wp_insert_term()… It seems I can only insert terms under certain conditions… I am trying to run a loop with a plugin function that inserts new posts from a CSV file and automatically adds the category/subcategory…

something like:

foreach($posts as $post){
$category= $post[‘category’];
$cat_id= wp_insert_term($category, ‘custom-taxonomy’);
//Insert post with meta_category => array($cat_id), (something like that)
}

This function is not attached to a hook, and it doesn’t seem to insert the term even though everything else works fine… Please help!!!
