Scheduled Post Issue

  • We’re experiencing a problem that when the wp-cron.php is pinged, it runs, and posts the scheduled post as expected, and the “Broadcast to” checkboxes are checked, but they never broadcast. Is there something additional we’re missing?

    The below are checked:
    – Link this post to its children
    – Custom fields
    – Taxonomies

    It is a custom post type, but it’s added in through the settings.

    Also, curious where the broadcasting plugin stores it’s data in the database. Didn’t see it tied to post_meta.

    1. They never broadcast? The posts should be broadcasted directly after pressing the publish button.

    The posts will then already exist on all blogs, but not be published yet.

    2. Nope. It’s in a separate database table: _3wp_broadcast_broadcastdata

    At the time I created BC, I hadn’t figured out any better place for it, considering that storing the linking data in the postmeta would cause headaches when broadcasting because the linking data would follow the post.

    Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. So, let me correct this, after looking further – the primary site on the multisite network is publishing fine. When it broadcasts it upon creation, I’m seeing it populating the other multi-sites that are selected. When the time is reached and the wp-cron.php is run, it changes the “main” post to be “publish” in the database. The broadcasted copies of the page, however, get hung up in the database I’m seeing the “post_status” for them to be “future” still even though they should be published when the primary one was.

    I’ve just read up a little regarding publishing of scheduled posts – apparently cron needs to be run on the child post and some transient needs to be set.

    I’ve added some code to force setting of the transient during broadcasting. Could you try this beta version of BC to see if it works any better?

    Note that the child blog needs cron to be run for the transient to be detected and the post published.
