which ‘WHOLE screen output AFTER a dupe post had been posted’?

Have you actually tried just publishing something without saving a draft?

“saving a draft / revision shouldn’t cause TweetBOT to run” I never said it did.

Just to be clear it isn’t POSTING twice, it’s tweeting twice.

The post_status for the two tweets are ‘publish’ and ‘inherit’ in my database, but the link to the ‘inherit’ one is superfluous.

I see no ‘debug’ option in the plugin, only ‘test settings’

Please check the time stamps again, the gap is only two seconds, not two minutes.

My attitude is that I’m actually grateful for guys like you providing free plugins and I certainly don’t expect 24/7 support. I’m finding it quite frustrating that you’re stilll not actually really reading my replies…

URL shortening works. Please stop referring to it or trying to help me fix it, I figured it out myself.

As for Strictly Auto-tags, it’s handy but I can live without it and just run it manually once in a while if I want to.

It’s not tweeting the same tweet, as established in the first line of the first post.

This is the output on the auto post settings page.

I disabled ALL plugins except your two and it still did it. I have only 90 tags so that’s hardly a problem. “Skip Pre-tagged posts” was ticked.

Anyway, I’ve figured out the work around and what the problem seems to be and why you can’t replicate it.

You wrote “I always save a draft first”.

With both plugins enabled if I click ‘save draft’ before ‘publish’ it only fires once. So I think what you’ll find is that it’s tweeting the automatically saved draft (NOT the *manually* saved draft) as well as the published post together. That’s what you need to test if you want to figure it out.

Never assume your users will do what you do, try not saving a draft and you’ll probably find the problem.

Yes, it helped… ??

I notice you didn’t bother to print out the results of the “Test Configuration” button which would have actually helped me see what was going on with your site and bit.ly.

Um, actually I did, look in the middle of my first post… what a shame you didn’t actually read my three messages outlining how I worked out what the problem was…

If you put a link to ‘https://bitly.com/a/your_api_key’ next to ‘Username’ in the plugin configuration (since finding this on the bit.ly site is the problem) then anyone else would avoid this problem.

Anyway, for the third time and after a month of waiting for you to notice I will repeat:

“Strictly Auto tags is still broken and double posting”

ps “and as emails don’t get sent to me”… click the ‘Notify me of follow-up posts via email’ tickbox underneath….

two weeks later I half fix my own problem…

I guess the author is too busy fixing his paid version of the plugin to bother reply to the free one …. :p

anyway, log into bit.ly and go here:

https://bitly.com/a/your_api_key

apparently your user name isn’t your ‘username’…. its more like ‘o_5pv5gapXXX’.

Auto tags is still broken and double posting though…. ??

according to the API this is the code that should be used :

https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/shorten?access_token=050fec89e41bcc63096054314726fc5f4467XXXX&longUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpage%3Fparameter%3Dvalue%23anchor&format=json

This returns :
{ “status_code”: 200, “status_txt”: “OK”, “data”: { “long_url”: “http:\/\/example.com\/page?parameter=value#anchor”, “url”: “http:\/\/bit.ly\/1sMummi”, “hash”: “1sMummi”, “global_hash”: “L2d3h4”, “new_hash”: 1 } }

Come on Mr Author, do I have to hack the plugin myself or shall I just look for another plugin….
