wp_insert_post() only creates draft posts

[Ehsaan]

I use a custom post type (hooked in init) and I've created a form for submitting in front-end and added a hook in init for listening form submitting and then create a post.

Here is my code:

do_action( 'wpo_frontend_before_save_order', $order_details, $user_details );
		$post = array(
			'post_title'		=>	$order_details['title'],
			'post_author'		=>	get_current_user_id(),
			'post_type'			=>	'wp_order',
			'post_status'		=>	'pending'
		);
		$postID = wp_insert_post( $post );
		if ( is_wp_error( $postID ) ) {
			set_transient( 'wpo_new_order_message_' . get_current_user_id(), __( 'There was a problem to register your order. Please try again later', 'wpo' ) );
			return;
		}

It creates only draft posts, it doesn't update post_date and post_date_gmt too and I can't delete its posts from WordPress (I delete them from database)

I don't know how to fix it. This is a bad problem.

@Ehsaan,

Thanks for opening a ticket but the wp_insert_post() function works perfectly well for the core post type and for custom post types registered and accessible in the WordPress admin area.

I suspect there is something wrong in the code you have written and the best place to get help with that is on the forums. (​http://wordpress.org/support/).

I'm closing this ticket as invalid but if you can pinpoint a specific issue in the wp_insert_post() feel free to reopen this ticket and provide more details.

I'm not sure it is from WordPress or my plugin, Is this bug or something else? But no one know this problem. I thought this is a bug about WordPress. How can I solve it?

@Ehsaan,

I don't think it's a bug in the core code and therefore think the issue is in your plugin code, open a ticket on the forum and post your full code there or a link to it if it is pretty long and someone may be able to help you.
