DESCRIPTION

This class provides methods for creating new posts and fetching data about existing posts.

See the WordPress API documentation at http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_WordPress_API for more details on what all of the fields mean.

METHODS

This class provides the following methods:

$api->post()->new( post_id => $value )

This method constructs a new post object based on data from the WordPress server. The only accepted parameter is a post_id, which is required.

$api->post()->create(...)

This method creates a new post on the WordPress server. It accepts a hash of all the attribute values listed below. See the WordPress API docs for a list of required fields. Haha, just kidding, they don't tell you, so you'll just have to guess.

For date fields, you can pass a DateTime object or an ISO8601 string (e.g. "20130721T20:59:52").
