asked on Auto submit wordpress admin form
I have a wordpress form from a custom theme that I have to submit daily. I would like to automate this somehow.
The form is a simple input type="file" with a submit button. The form id="import-upload-form" and the action="admin.php?page=app
I would like to :
a: insert the value for input type="file" (can be static or dynamic)
b: automatically submit the form once daily
Is this possible?
I have enclosed the key element of the source for the admin page with the sitename changed for security purposes. If you need additional information please do not hesitate to tell me what you need in the comments.
I appreciate your help in advance.

Possibly have the file stored on the server locally and run the installer via a script?
Any ideas how to do this?
