How to auto-tag your posts with the plugin “Auto Tags” after they’ve been published already without manually edit and save each post to get them auto-tagged? Additionally, you don’t have SSH access to your server and the PHP max_execution_time is limited to 30 or 60 seconds so a script’s runtime would exceed and result in a blank page or fatal error?<\/p>\n
Put a file auto-tag.php (or whatever you’d like) in your WP document root and fill it with the following contents:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\nerror_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);\r\nini_set('display_errors', '1');\r\n\r\ndefine('WP_USE_THEMES', false);\r\nrequire('.\/wp-blog-header.php');\r\nglobal $wpdb;\r\n\r\nif( !isset($_GET['offset']) ) {\r\n $offset = (int)$_GET['offset'];\r\n}\r\n\r\n$all_post_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post'");\r\n$post_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' ORDER BY ID ASC LIMIT " . $_GET['offset'] . ",3");\r\n\r\nif( $_GET['offset'] >= count($all_post_ids) ) {\r\n die('Done.');\r\n exit;\r\n}\r\n\r\nforeach( $post_ids as $post_id ) {\r\n do_action( 'wp_insert_post', $post_id );\r\n}\r\n$offset = $_GET['offset']+3;\r\necho '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?offset=' . $offset . '">';\r\n?><\/pre>\nWhat does it do?<\/h4>\n
To avoid the script being aborted due to the PHP max_execution_time, the above script auto-tags 3 posts at a time, then automatically reloads the page, auto-tags the next 3 posts and so on. All you have to do is watch the script do the work for you, and get a coffee.<\/p>\n
