Just paste the following code anywhere on WordPress theme files. If you want to test, I recommend pasting it in your functions.php file.
That’s all you have to do. Once executed, this code will insert a new post into WordPress database.

global $user_ID;
$new_post = array(
‘post_title’ => ‘My New Post’,
‘post_content’ => ‘Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘post_date’ => date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’),
‘post_author’ => $user_ID,
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘post_category’ => array(0)
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);

Thanks to Matt Harzewski for this great piece of code!
