[wp-hackers] wp_insert_posts?

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

Unfortunately not. The Insert API is designed for a single post insert as
it needs to retrieve the ID afterwards for setting post meta and
categories/etc.

If you've got a lot of data to import, I'd usually just use direct SQL if
it's just the posts, or deal with the wp_insert_post() if there's other
non-wp_posts data included.
