Hi,
I have created custom fields for some pages and now I would like to manage the creation / updating of data via XML-RCP.
I have already done the same thing with taxonomists and everything works but with the custom fileds I cannot value the data. How should I do it?

This is an example

$content = array (
'post_type' => 'mycustompage',
'post_status' => 'draft',
'post_title' => 'Demo',
'ping_status' => 'closed',
'comment_status' => 'closed',
'custom_fields' => array(
'wpcf-name' => 'Paoul',
'wpcf-surname' => 'Test',
)
);

Thanks

Hello,

Please try to change these line from:

'custom_fields' => array(
'wpcf-name' => 'Paoul',
'wpcf-surname' => 'Test',
)

To:

'custom_fields' => array(
	 array( 'key' => 'wpcf-name', 'value' => 'Paoul' ),
	 array( 'key' => 'wpcf-surname', 'value' => 'Test' ),
)

And test again.
