Let us now learn how to copy posts from one site to another site. Basically, we will be using REST API to GET JSON post data and convert it into a PHP object. In the previous section, we have already created a function for this and we will reuse the code. It is as simple as passing the following request:
$url = 'http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/1'; $post = get_json( $url );
Now, to create a copy of the post, we just have to turn $post into an array and then pass it to wp_insert_post().

Thereafter, once we have an array, we will setup a second array because we will...
