Adding Wordpress Categories

[groneg 0]

Behavior for Wordpress is different via Ubot vs Manually.

 

I'm trying to automatically add a Category for Wordpress. As a simple test, I hardcode the category and run the bot. The category gets filled in the field but it is dimmed. When I click in the field, the original hardcoded category disappears.

 

See img examples of what the hardcoded vs manual versions look like...

So when you make a new post you want to add a new category and select that one?

 

Or are you just trying to add categories?

A screenshot of your script would make it easier.

The former. I'm trying to 1) make a post 2) add a new category

 

I first tried add the category via a list - then I tried to add it via a variable I hardcoded; same results for both methods

The attached worked for me. Whatever category you want just put it in the UI to test. After it adds it then it automatically selects it. I would put a long delay after you click add before you do anything else.

this works for me in ubot 4

 

define CreateCategory(#postingCategory) {

LoginToSite()

navigate("http://{#site}/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category", "Wait")

wait for browser event("Page Loaded", #waitForElementWaitTime)

wait for element(<name="submit">, "", "Appear")

change attribute(<id="tag-name">, "value", #postingCategory)

set(#sluggedSiteKeyword, $change text casing($replace(#postingCategory, " ", "-"), "Lower Case"), "Global")

change attribute(<id="tag-slug">, "value", #sluggedSiteKeyword)

click(<name="submit">, "Left Click", "No")

wait for browser event("Page Loaded", #waitForElementWaitTime)

wait for element(<name="submit">, #waitForElementWaitTime, "Appear")

}

 

can't remember why I put two waits at the end
