Message Format Hashtag Help/Bug

  • I’m configuring the Message Format for my Facebook auto-poster, which I’ve done dozens of times, and I’m having an issue!

    This is my format:

    %TITLE%:
RAM: %CT-pa_guaranteed-ram% || CPU: %CT-pa_cpu%
Disk: %CT-pa_disk% || Traffic: %CT-pa_traffic%
Price: $%CF-_regular_price%/mo

Compare %HCT-product_cat% #VPS at %SITENAME%

%URL%

    and this is what I’m getting on facebook:

    AMinServe - USA Basic:
RAM: 512MB || CPU: 1
Disk: 10GB || Traffic: #Unmetered
Price: $13.95/mo

Compare AMinServe #VPS at GetFastVPS

https://getfastvps.com/shop/aminserve/aminserve-usa-basic/

    Notice how “#Unmetered” on the 3rd line IS NOT supposed to be a hashtag, and how “AMinServer” on the 6th line IS supposed to be a hashtag. Is this perhaps a bug, or have I missed something?

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    It seems where ever I put the first %HCT-% it always makes the %CT-% variable before it the hashtag! It’s just not evident in my example because it was skipping the %CT-% directly before it because of the $ sign.

    This Message Format:

    %TITLE% #VPS:
RAM: %CT-pa_guaranteed-ram% || CPU: %CT-pa_cpu%
Disk: %CT-pa_disk% || Traffic: %CT-pa_traffic%
Price: $%CF-_regular_price%/mo || Platform: %CT-pa_platform%

Compare %HCT-product_cat% plans at %SITENAME%

%URL%

    Yields:

    AMinServe - USA Basic #VPS:
RAM: 512MB || CPU: 1
Disk: 10GB || Traffic: Unmetered
Price: $13.95/mo || Platform: #VMWare

Compare AMinServe plans at GetFastVPS

    I assume this is a bug?

    In the first case you use the tag %CT-pa_traffic%, and in the second case you use the tag %HCT-product_cat%.

    The beginning “CT” means that there will be inserted the list of custom taxonomies associated with the post, and the beginning “HCT” means that there will be inserted the list of custom taxonomies associated with the post as hashtags.

    Yes @dostigator I’m using the variables correctly, the output that is being sent to social media posts is incorrect though and not what is desired.

    Look at Platform: #VMWare – I used CT not HCT
    Look at Compare AMinServe – I used HCT, not CT

    There is some sort of bug/glitch.
