Check for duplicate custom field value before running wp_insert_post
That is, I want to prevent 'guid_review' ACF value being duplicate by checking it before creating the post.
foreach ($items as $itemKey = $item) {
$myPost = array(
'post_type' = 'client_review',
'post_title' =(string) $item-title, //the object as a string before attempting to manipulate it.
'post_content' =(string) $item-description
);
$inserted_post_id = wp_insert_post( (array) $myPost );
if( $inserted_post_id ){
add_post_meta( (int) $inserted_post_id,'guid_review',(string)$item-guid);
add_post_meta($inserted_post_id,'link_review',(string)$item-link);
add_post_meta($inserted_post_id,'author_review',(string)$item-author);
add_post_meta($inserted_post_id,'rating_review',(string)$item-children('d3', true)-rating);
add_post_meta($inserted_post_id,'certified_review',(string)$item-children('d3', true)-certified);
add_post_meta($inserted_post_id,'pub_date_review',(string)$item-pubDate);
}
}
