insert post ID with wp_insert_post

how can I choose post ID, when inserting new post, ex:

$post = array(
'ID'                =>  3333,
'comment_status'            =>  'open',
'post_content'      =>  'hi world!',
'post_name'         =>  'title_1',
'post_status'       =>  'publish',
'post_title'        =>  'sdfsfd fdsfds ds',
'post_type'         =>  'post',
);  

$post_id = wp_insert_post($post);

want to insert new post with id = 3333

Solution

  • Sorry buddy, not doable. Here is what the devs say at the codex:

    IMPORTANT: Setting a value for $post['ID'] WILL NOT create a post with that ID number. Setting this value will cause the function to update the post with that ID number with the other values specified in $post. In short, to insert a new post, $post['ID'] must be blank or not set at all.
