The plugin you mentioned gets triggered with the save_post hook. That action is triggered whenever a post or page is created or updated, which could be from an import, post/page edit form, xmlrpc, or post by email.
If it doesn’t work in your case, I would suggest trying with a different XML-RPC client, to make sure the problem isn’t linked to your current client.
Let me know how it goes.
Hi Jeremy! Do you mean the plugin you wrote? Currently neither that or the linked plugin are working while using the WordPress mobile app or importing posts through the python wp-library 🙁
The function might not work when importing posts since imports work a bit differently, and Publicize was built to ignore imported posts.
It should however work with the mobile apps. When using the code snippet I published, could you try to save a new post as a draft in the app, and then publish it? Does it help?
Hi again! Using the online interface I see the # when creating a post. Publicize is publishing the post with the normal template just fine when posting via python and mobile, but no #.
Could you paste the snippet you used here, so I can run some tests on my end?
Thanks!
function jeherve_publicize_hashtags() {
$post = get_post();
if ( ! empty( $post ) ) {
// Grab the tags of the post
$post_tags = get_the_tags( $post->ID );
// Append tags to custom message
if ( ! empty( $post_tags ) ) {
// Create list of tags with hashtags in front of them
$hash_tags = '';
foreach( $post_tags as $tag ) {
$hash_tags .= ' #' . $tag->name;
}
// Create our custom message
$custom_message = get_the_title() . ' ' . $hash_tags;
update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wpas_mess', $custom_message );
}
}
}
// Save that message
function jeherve_cust_pub_message_save() {
add_action( 'save_post', 'jeherve_publicize_hashtags' );
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'jeherve_cust_pub_message_save' );
Could you let me know where you pasted that snippet? In a functionality plugin like this one?
Hi again!
I used “Functionality”-plugin, I switched to the one you suggested, still the same (lack-of) effect 🙁
Thanks for sticking with me on this. I looked into this a bit more, and I’m afraid that’s an issue with how Jetpack synchronizes its data, as outlined here:
https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/3267
We’ll work on getting this fixed as it sometimes causes other issues when trying to customize Related Posts, but until that issue is closed I’m afraid I won’t have a way to work around this problem.
Sorry not to be of more help.
