Does that mean that the free version doesn’t work anymore?

Did you ever find a fix for this? I’m getting the same behavior on one site while it’s working perfectly on another (with pretty much the exact same setup)

I’m also in adding new lines. Fine with modifying the raw plugin code — would just love some pointers where to start.

Interesting additional info: The JSON api works when the user has EDITOR level permissions, but nothing below.

Found the issue — had a plugin that was pulling references to a custom post type inside the admin area. The plugin was using a global $post value, which was overriding the main query in the admin area, so values from the other page were sneaking into this page.

Got rid of the global $post, fixed the issue.

I’m requiring:

require('from/your/template/folder/path/to/wp-blog-header.php');

Which in my case (because I keep my PHP in a subfolder) is:

require('../../../../wp-blog-header.php');

You’re definitely not the only guy — I’m doing it on one of my projects now. This is the code I’m using and it’s working fine (it’s doing a “post” post_type and I’m using variables to designate author, title, and category):

//-- Set up post values
		$myPost = array(
			'post_status' => 'publish',
			'post_type' => 'post',
			'post_author' => $authorID,
			'post_title' => $title,
			'comment_status' => 'closed',
			'ping_status' => 'closed',
			'post_category' => array($category),
		);

		//-- Create the new post
		$newPostID = wp_insert_post($myPost);

Given that our two sets of scripts are extremely similar, my next guess would be that the author_id is invalid and maybe that’s somehow preventing the page from being added. Maybe try testing with an actual author ID?

The really strange this is that I restarted my FF4 in Safe Mode (all add-ons off) and I’m still getting the duplication!

OK – confirmed. This “double-loading” behavior only happens on MY copy of Mac Firefox 4.0 — tested on FF4 on another computer, as well as Safari & Chrome and only one post happens. My only guess is that one of my extensions is somehow causing it to fire twice (don’t have any idea which one; has anybody experienced anything similar to this using Firefox?).

What a relief — I thought I was going insane.

OK – now something REALLY weird:

If I test the above code on Mac FF4.0, I get TWO posts.
If I test the above code on Mac Safari 5.0 and Chrome 11.0, I get ONE post.

WTF?!

I should mention also that I have no plugins activated…

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately it looks like whatever is causing it to fire twice is not in the single.php page. This is the entire code I’m using on my test page:

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<?php $postTest = 0;
	echo '<p>LOAD: $postTest='.$postTest.'</p>'; ?>

	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<?php

		//-- Set up post values
		$myPost = array(
			'post_status' => 'publish',
			'post_type' => 'post',
			'post_author' => 2, // should be this post's Author
			'post_title' => 'e3i8ir',
			'comment_status' => 'closed',
			'ping_status' => 'closed',
			'post_category' => array(24), // should be the NEXT category
		);

		echo '<p>BEFORE: $postTest='.$postTest.'</p>'; //test

		//-- Create the new post
		$newPostID = wp_insert_post($myPost);

		$postTest++;
		echo '<p>AFTER: $postTest='.$postTest.'</p>'; //test

		?>
	<?php endwhile; else: ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Output is:

<p>LOAD: $postTest=0</p>
<p>BEFORE: $postTest=0</p><p>AFTER: $postTest=1</p>

No duplication ??

Any ideas what could cause this function to fire twice?

Thanks,

Since you’re not defining ‘post_status’, it might be creating a draft… did you check the admin area?

You can also try using ‘post_content’ instead of ‘post_content_filtered’…

I’m getting a similar thing – menus admin page loads incompletely. Did you find a cause/solution? Anyone else running into this?
