After wp_insert_post() custom post type does not show in the admin

Question

I have an import script that uses wp_insert_post() to add events wordpress. The script works and is basically a foreach loop of array elements that calls the above function multiple times.

My issue is that in the admin for the event custom post type I see this:

So I see a count having a value, but no posts found. If I filter dates nothing shows. Does anyone have any ideas? NB: I can go to the url and it works for a single event. But not for multiple events.

Answer 1

The problem was that the import script had post_status as 'published' not 'publish' hope this helps someone. :facepalm
