How to add posts using own plugin in wordpress

Creating a wordpress plugin and need this plugin to automatically add posts to wordpress when it installs. What is the better solution to do that?

Solution

You should use the register_activation_hook to carry out any custom functions (like adding posts) after the plugin is initialised.

 function myplugin_activate() {

     // Add your posts here...
 }
 register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'myplugin_activate' );

That way, once the plugin is installed, and activated, myplugin_activate() will fire, and carry out any logic you put there.
