Context:
-
wp_insert_post()with categories and tags passed; - add several custom fields;
- create and associate attachments (from existing files).
When updating post taxonomies, you can call wp_defer_term_counting( true ) before you do your mass operation, and then wp_defer_term_counting( false ) to update the term counts only once per term.
