# Update a post — WordPress

Botize method — `wp.update_post` (action).

Updates the data of an entry from its ID.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `mb_switch` *(boolean)* — Rules
- `id` *(string)* — Post Id to update
- `title` *(string)* — Post Title
- `content` *(string)* — Post Content
- `slug` *(string)* — Post slug (URL)
- `featured_media_url` *(string)* — Featured image URL
- `wp_status` *(string, one of: "publish" = Publish; "future" = Future; "draft" = Draft; "pending" = Pending; "private" = Private)* — Status
- `show_custom_fields` *(boolean)* — Custom Fields
- `custom_field_type` *(string, one of: "acf" = Advanced Custom Fields)*

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `mb_filters_*`, `custom_fields_name_*`, `custom_fields_value_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{post_id}}` *(int)* — Post Id
- `{{post_url}}` *(text)* — Post URL
