I have a Custom Post Type called eyeglasses and Custom Taxonomy called models. I also created two terms for taxonomy called M156 and M120. Now I am trying to upload two post for test through wp_insert_post.

This is adding the $title to the post_title of eyeglasses but not adding or updating the term of the post.

function we_load_posts($title, $term)

 wp_insert_post(array(
 "post_type" => "eyeglasses",
 "post_title" => $title,
 "tax_input" => array(
 "models" => array($term)
 ),
 "post_status" => "publish"
 ));

we_load_posts("Montana", "M156");
we_load_posts("Havana", "M120");

can you please let me know what I am missing or doing wrong here?

Few points come to mind:

1. There is a typo in "post_type" => "'eyeglasses" (extra single quote). It should be: "post_type" => "eyeglasses".



2. 
   

   Try putting the $term instead of array( $term ):

   
   
   

   "tax_input" => array(
    "models" => $term
   )
   

   
   


3. 
   

   Also, is it models or model? e.g.

   
   
   

   "tax_input" => array(
    "model" => $term
   )
   

   
   


4. 
   

   tax_input requires assign_terms capability. So if the user you are running this CODE with, doesn't have that capability, it'll not work.

   
   
   

   In that case, the right way is:

   
   
   

   $post_id = wp_insert_post(array(
    "post_type" => "eyeglasses",
    "post_title" => $title,
    "post_status" => "publish"
   ));
   
   wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $term, 'model' );
