How to add post_meta ?

[Emad-AiDev]

Hello Max,

Hope you are fine and everything is ok. Big Thanks for great code.

I am using your code in my WP but struggling to find a way to post meta for my posts. Indeed I am using Yoast SEO plugin and I need a way to be able to fill the content of it in my post. What I need is a way to use post_meta , as yoast_wpseo_focuskw ?

Any idea how the code look like ?

Thank you,

Have you taken a look at the examples in the docs? http://python-wordpress-xmlrpc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples/posts.html#custom-post-types contains sample code for deal with post meta fields; even though the title says Custom Post Types, the same technique applies to the standard 'post' and 'page' types as well.

Have a look at your wp database and you will understand how wp stores meta data and why @maxcutler link to docs is your answer.

Dear n3strom. thank you. I have done it with your suggestion: by follow script: post.custom_fields = [] post.custom_fields.append({ 'key': '_yoast_wpseo_focuskw', 'value': 'ABC' })
