In that case I need to individually look at your case. Can you please – while you still have the manual post with the shortcode on your site – use the “Download diagnostic information” button on the plugin’s config page and send me the resulting file to [email protected]. Additionally a screenshot from Wodify’s WOD editor might also help.

1. It’s been quite some time since I implemented this and I have not re-tested, but yes this setup should work
2. More or less right. The WordPress Cron only triggers when someone visits your website. For a test scenario you could just reload the website after 15 minutes. In your “production” site you can either “hope” that your website will be loaded regularly by users or search engines or setup an external Cron-job or similar service that regularly loads https:/your-site-name.com/wp/wp-cron.php
   Also the post is only created, if the last changed date and time of the WOD in Wodify is older than 1 hour, to avoid grabbing the workout before its finished – see next point.
3. The created posts are static when they have been posted. If you make a change later, you could manually delete an existing post (make sure to also remove it from trash). It will then recreate the next time the job is running (with the limitation mentioned at point 2).
   I might be thinking of creating the post using a short code in the future – this would allow the post to update, however would also confuse search engines, social media and so on because the update would be “silent”.

First of all: I am not affiliated with Wodify, so I can’t and won’t say much about their built-in integration features, which you mention as the second option. I understand that this posting (if it is still available offers only very limited configuration options. It works entirely independent of my plugin.

If you use this plugin you have several options to get WODs to you WordPress page:

• Using the Short code or WOD block in any post or also a page. As you can use relative dates (today, “+1”, “MON”, etc.) you can use a static page that will change each day (if you don’t misconfigure a cache plugin)
• If you want a daily (or whatever) automatic post, please check the settings in the lower part of the plugin’s WOD settings. This will allow you to configure automatic post creation from with your WordPress site.

Both cases allow some configuration when the WOD is actually shown and published – depending on your Wodify settings with some options of modifications (e.g. you can chose to ignore publishing limitations entirely or have your publish times relative to Wodify – maybe a few hours earlier or later)

The way most plugin users set it up is what you describe as set it up and forget it approach – many have a page that shows “todays” or “tomorrows” WOD using shortcodes or blocks in a page. I think the option of automatically have a new post for each WOD is used less frequently.

Regarding the posting of the image let me check and get back to you later. Might be an issue with the plugin.

This should not be showing in the post, but be in a HTML comment.I will check tonight and probably upload an update of the plugin. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

a quick test with my own site does not show any obvious problems…

So as a first step one or two guesses:
– I assume that you have not changed any settings and it stopped working? Because there is an option for each line where it would be possible to deactive posting (column “Create post”) – I cannot see the repsective setting from your screenshot.
– the page URL you provided has a .htaccess password protection. This can also stop WOD posting from working because it will interfere with the WordPress cron mechanism.

If this does not help you and you would hand over site access, this would probably be the most effective way to debug. In that case please e-mail access info to [email protected]

Best regards

Hi,

I have just uploaded new version 1.15 of the plugin, which will hopefully fix your problem. Please update and check.

is there a line number indication for PHP in the error message (can you please copy and paste the full error message here) or let me know the URL where Ican have a look myself. You can also contact me via email at [email protected]
