This is amazing! Was looking for a simple Python script like this!

Where i found wordpress_xmlrpc module

What can I do for some custom fields given by theme or plugin? How can I fill those fields?

@imsurajkadam did you find something for your problem??

@imsurajkadam You can check the Wordpress API documentation for a function or method that return the id of the custom field and add that call to the class. Maybe also check the documentation or code of the theme/plugin to identify the custom field.
