Publicize not working correctly on scheduled posts

  • Whenever I schedule a post to publish in the future, publicize will post to twitter/linkedin/google+, but it will just be the default message (title of the post and the link). When I schedule the post I edit the message to include other hashtags and things like that, but those seem to get lost when the post is published. If I publish immediately everything works as expected.

    Could you post your site URL here, as well as a few examples of the posts that weren’t shared properly, so I can have a look?

    My site is https://www.developmentblock.com/.

    Here are two posts that this happened on in the past month. If you look on twitter you can see I had to go back and later post another link to them with the different wording I had previously saved when I scheduled the post.

    Thanks! All your Jetpack settings seem correct. Your Publicize connection also seems to work properly.

    Could you walk me through the steps you followed to schedule these posts? Did you use a third-party application, or a plugin to clone or duplicate an old post?

    Could you also let me know what other plugins are currently active on your site?

    Thanks!

    I didn’t take any special steps. Simply write the post (may take more than one session, saving as draft in the process), then edit the publish date, the publicize message, and hit the schedule button. There is the possibility on those that I went back after that and made additional changes. I know I have one set to publish both today and tomorrow where I did this and I have not gone back to edit them since scheduling them. So we can see if these two work properly.

    I’m not using any special third-party application or plugin that I’m aware of. Here is the list of active plugins on my site.

    So looks like today’s worked. I wonder if maybe it has to do with going back and editing it? Does it maybe reset the publicize message on edit, I doubt I’ve expanded that again to ensure it kept my changes when editing before.

    Well that’s good news, although I can’t see why going back and editing would make a difference?

    Are you the only user on your site, or do you edit posts, or maybe connected Publicize while using a different account?

    Nope, I’m the only user. I’ll do some experimentation. Maybe I was doing something weird and I can just stop doing whatever it was ??

    I can’t get it to work on scheduled posts for any account. This bug has existed for quite some time.

    I think there is definitely something going on when you edit a post. I had a post just publish a few minutes ago. Yesterday, I had gone in, changed the message for publicize and clicked Update. However, when it published, it used the previous message, not the one I thought I had saved yesterday. So the update didn’t save. It didn’t revert to the “default” but it did not save what I put in when I updated it yesterday.

    Actually, when I look at the “Revisions” in wordpress, I don’t see any revision for yesterday. The Publicize message was the only thing I tried to change. Does that not get recognized as a change maybe? So if I go in, change the publicize method, click update, it doesn’t seem to be saving a revision.

    Hi there,

    I just tested this to try to reproduce:

    1) I created and scheduled a post
    2) I went back to the post modified the custom message, and clicked “Update”
    3) I let it Publicize to Facebook

    The custom message went through.

    Maybe when you clicked Update, it didn’t actually Update? It happenes to me sometimes that a click action isn’t actually registered, on any random site including my WordPress sites. Maybe something like that happened? Can you try again, and detail your steps?
