Hi Nadia
Thanks for your answer and sorry for the unclear question.
I made a plugin that imports products automatically.
Here is the essential code:
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'do_products' );
function insert_product ($product_data) {
$title = $product_data['title'];
if (!get_page_by_title($title, 'OBJECT', 'product')){
$post = array( // Set up the basic post data to insert for our product
'post_author' => 1,
'post_content' => $product_data['note'] . '<br>'. $product_data['note2'],
//'post_excerpt' => $product_data['note2'],
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_title' => $product_data['title'],
'post_type' => 'product',
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($post); // Insert the post returning the new post id
if (!$post_id) // If there is no post id something has gone wrong so don't proceed
{
return false;
}
update_post_meta($post_id, '_price', $product_data['price']); // Set its SKU
update_post_meta($post_id, '_regular_price', $product_data['price']);
update_post_meta( $post_id,'_visibility','visible'); // Set the product to visible, if not it won't show on the front end
$cat_ids = array( 40 );
wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $cat_ids, 'product_cat'); // Set up its categories
wp_set_object_terms($post_id, 'single', 'product_type'); // Set it to a single product type
//add img section
// only need these if performing outside of admin environment
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/media.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
// example image
$image = 'https://www.creatifpassion.ch/wp-content/import/testimg.gif';
// magic sideload image returns an HTML image, not an ID
$media = media_sideload_image($image, $post_id);
// therefore we must find it so we can set it as featured ID
if(!empty($media) && !is_wp_error($media)){
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_status' => 'any',
'post_parent' => $post_id
);
// reference new image to set as featured
$attachments = get_posts($args);
//Here is the code that sets the category for the image
//but the checkbox isn't activated
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, 'GA', 'media_category' );
if(isset($attachments) && is_array($attachments)){
foreach($attachments as $attachment){
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'full');
if(strpos($media, $image[0]) !== false){
// if so, we found our image. set it as thumbnail
set_post_thumbnail($post_id, $attachment->ID);
// only want one image
break;
} //end if strpos
} //end foreach
} //end if isset
}//end if empty
}//end if
}//end function
function insert_products ($products) {
if (!empty($products)) // No point proceeding if there are no products
{
array_map('insert_product', $products); // Run 'insert_product' function from above for each product
}
}
function do_products(){
$json_file = file_get_contents(plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'json/tt_products3.json');
strip_tags($json_file, '.');
$products_data = json_decode($json_file, true);
insert_products($products_data);
}
add_action('init','do_products',100);
?>
The upper part is just to show the context. In the ?add img section? i use:
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, 'GA', 'media_category' );
It does insert a category for the image, but the checkbox isn’t activated.
Is the code in wrong place?
Thanks a lot for your interest.

theo
