Most posts will not have comments. It is more to have the ability to add and view if needed.

Where would I add the templates to the loop. I don’t see the file that would allow that.

Thanks. This definitely helped.

However, it seems now that it would be easy to some how run the bulk feature on a schedule. What files are triggering that?

The blog is an auto blog. It is currently feed by postie witch does a great job, but more time consuming for the poster.

I want to move for a more automated feature to where the user can simply tag an article via Feedly and then it posts to the blog. This works, but does not create a featured image. This is where your plugin comes in.

The issue is that the plugin only fires when published from the dashboard. So there is no featured image created from the auto post.

I have tried to set the post to draft first, and then run a sql script to swap from draft to publish, but that does not trigger your plugin. I have also tired to run a sort of wp cron to convert, but still does not trigger your plugin.

So basically I am trying to figure a way to either run the bulk set feature on a schedule (ie. it runs hourly to update each no featured image post and adds a featured image) or trigger your plugin via a script that will switch from draft to publish.

Let me know if you can think of anything. Judging by your bulk feature, I am sure I can create a schedule, but I feel that will be more clunky. Would be much better if I could just hook in somehow.

Thanks Martin

Yeah that may be the last resort. Trying to dig deeper into the plugin code. There may be a way to put it on a schedule then all I can skip the draft to publish.

Joey this worked, unfortunately it did not trigger the plugin, but is functioning as expected.

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks Joey. Got some homework to do ??

I will keep you posted.

Thanks for the feedback Joey. So I am super new to WP Crons. Could you help guide me a bit more one this? Below is what I am trying to accomplish:

– All posts in draft mode will be switched to publish
– cron will need to run every hour or so
– only distinguishing feature would be that the post_status is currently set to draft.

This is an auto blog that is feed by a third party. I am using Quick Featured Images Pro to produce my featured images. However, this plugin only runs when a post is published by wp. It fails to trigger when it is auto fed. My goal is that by going to draft mode first I will be able to trigger the plugin with the cron of switching draft to publish.

Thanks Again Joey.

Thanks BCW. I will circle back around after I spend some time on this today. I appreciate your help.

Am I way off or something like this?

$my_post = array(
  'post_type'       = 'post',
  'post_status'      = 'publish'
  );
  wp_update_post( $my_post );

I feel like I am missing something… Like stating where post_status = draft

Yeah I scanned it, but there are dozens of instances of add_action() and add_filter().

I looked to wp_schedule_event() and this may work, but still not sure how to configure it to set all draft posts to publish.

I am not new to WP, but definitely new the the wp_cron side of things.

Thanks for the feedback. i will take a look

Thanks for the response. Any idea how to do this with a cron rather than running it via a SQL script?

Or better yet, any idea how to duplicate the action of clicking the “publish” button?

I think you are dead on with the plugin working from a hook or filter, but digging through the plugin code is pretty daunting.

So i am wondering if this issue is better directed to an IIS formum. I am sort of thinking that what needs to happen is some sort of a wildcard for sub domains on the main domain. I know we cant do wildcards in the bindings, but does any one know of way of doing this through a web.config in iis? I am sort of thinking this web.config would then need to live on the root of the default site.

Let me know if you guys have seen this and or know of a solution.

Thanks again.

Yeah that is a big step from 2.7 to 4.0. You will probably find plugins and themes will have issues.

Best is the do what jack said and try the link.

However, you may just want to do a fresh install and start from scratch if you see a lot of issues with your theme and plugins.

bump for the night crew.
