Tweets with wrong post type slug on permalink urls

WP to Twitter gets URLs for posts using the core ‘get_permalink()’ function. This should definitely be producing the right URL. There are some special cases where things could be odd; particularly if you’re copying posts or changing the post type for existing posts. Is that something you might be doing?

Thank you Joe.

We are not changing the post type for existing post, consciously and manually at least. Copying posts neither.

We need to research further.

Thanks again!

We have also been having the same thing happen as described by @oscarmiguelbandin

We use the plugin Custom Post Type Permalinks to manage the url structure for custom posts. Not sure if that could be causing an issue, but thought I’d mention it.

Happy to do some testing if you have suggestions @joedolson

@oscarmiguelbandin Are you also using a custom post type permalink plug-in? That could be relevant, although I don’t know for sure.

@stevesearer If you have the same issue occur with the plug-in disabled, that would eliminate it as a possibility.

Joe, we don′t use any custom post type permalink plug-in but we have a lot of filters that modify post types, rewrites and permalinks. We have them under the theme scope, could that be a hint?

Thanks!

It’s certainly possible. If those filters are executing the modifications after the post has already been sent to Twitter, then the version of the URL sent is going to relate to a previous URL.

You may just need to change the timing of the filters so they run later. Are they attached to the post publish action?

Could be. But it is strange because it is not failing every time, just once on couple of months.

And no, there are no custom actions attached to the post publish action.

Thank you!

@oscarmiguelbandin Do you happen to schedule your posts to publish at a future date (we do this)? Perhaps there is an issue when WordPress infrequently misses publishing scheduled posts?

Sure, we usually to schedule post (70% percent of total published post) and we have currently installed the WP Missed Schedule plugin that usually works fine forcing post to avoid missing schedule.

Thank you!
