Scheduled posts not going to Diaspora

Hi Bert,

Thanks for your report.
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this, as it works perfectly in my setup.

Could you give me any extra details, like a list of plugins you have installed (and their version numbers)?

Also, when you go to “Settings->WP to diaspora*” in your WP Admin dashboard, does the connection work correctly?

Hope to get this fixed for you =)

Happy 2018 to you too!

Armando

Hi Armando,

Thank you very much for your input. This morning manually posting my WordPress post to Diaspora also did not work.

In the settings you indicated it says: Failed to initialise connection to pod “https://pod.orkz.net”. cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate.

Creating a new post on Diaspora (not originating in WordPress) works fine.

I guess it is a certificate thing, but my plugins are: Askimet Anti-spam, Limit Login Attempts, PuSHPress, Really Simple SSL, Scheduled Post Trigger, Subscribe2, WP to diaspora*, WPtouch Mobile Plugin

Thanks again,
Bert

Hi Bert,

That’s what I was expecting. Your host does not have an up-to-date certificate bundle.
If you could get in touch with your hosting, that would be the best.

Have a look here for some solutions:

Thanks a lot for guiding me here.

I have contacted the hosting provider, hopefully they will sort it soon. Till then I will have to copy paste the elements of my WP post over to Diaspora.

Many thanks for your very useful plugin.

Bert, give Nr. 4 of the wiki entry a try!

Just copy this file to the root of your plugins/wp-to-diaspora folder:
https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

It should work then as a temporary fix, until a new version of WP to diaspora* is released (which won’t be any time soon I think).

Will look into that tomorrow. Thanks again!

The host of the Diaspora pod was quick on the uptake. Posting directly works again, scheduled posts still do not. I will wait and see if he finds a solution. If not I will go for your suggestion. Thanks.

Just to be complete: the error message about the SSL certificate has gone, but scheduled posts do not go to Diaspora.

Could the problem be similar to my earlier query? https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wordpress-to-diaspora-stopped-working/

The issue is the combination with the plugin “Scheduled Post Trigger”.
Maybe you updated that recently too?

I see it was updated recently and can confirm that the latest version 2.0 does break WP to diaspora* ?? Version 1.8 works correctly though.

Will look into it.

Ok, the problem is that the “Scheduled Post Trigger” plugin skips the action hook used in WP to diaspora* to publish the post.

Have made an issue report here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/init-action-kicks-in-too-soon/

For now, I suggest you revert to version 1.8 or manually add the priority as explained in the link above.

I am afraid that you are right. Unfortunately that one was not saved in (my) memory.

I am a little hesitant to edit the plugin or revert to version 1.8 [which is not offered any more (1.7 is)], as I might do something wrong. I guess I will wait a while to see if Scheduled Post Trigger will accept your request. In the meantime I will manually post to Diaspora through WP to Diaspora after publication. As long as I am in the European time zone, it is not a big problem.

Just in case: should I replace the line:
add_action('init', 'register_my_session');
by
add_action( 'init', 'pubScheduledPost', 999 );
or add it?

Thanks an awful lot for everything.

The line you would need to change is line 18.

from
add_action('init','pubScheduledPost');
to
add_action('init','pubScheduledPost', 999);

I too hope they decide to improve their plugin ??

Ah, OK. Thanks!

With that I will have a go later.

It looks as if with that change to the plugin Scheduled Post Trigger the scheduled post goes to Diaspora immediately instead of at the time of scheduled post.

Bert, you can update the Scheduled Post Trigger plugin to 2.1, which has reverted the code changes.

Please let me know if the scheduled posting is fixed with that, thanks!
