Autopublish Issue

is the function being executed?

How would I check that? I’m presuming its not working because posts are being set as draft still.

you’ll need to debug your request process.

I’m presuming its not working because posts are being set as draft still.

indeed, and likely due to the fact that the function is not being executed due to an error in the way you setup your filter

After checking the debug.log I’m seeing alot of these PHP errors:

PHP Warning:  Use of undefined constant ‘cf7_2_post_status_orders’ - assumed '‘cf7_2_post_status_orders’' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/site/public_html/orders/wp-content/themes/hello-elementor-child/functions.php on line 25

Any ideas?

This is a warning and not an error.

They are coming from your theme and not from the plugin:

themes/hello-elementor-child/functions.php on line 25

so you’ll need to fix those in your file

I’ve removed the offending code from that line and now I’m getting the same error but it references line 166 which is the start of the CF7 filter.

Can you please double-check if this is correct?:

add_filter( ‘cf7_2_post_status_orders’, ‘publish_new_post’,10,3);
function publish_new_post($status, $ckf7_key, $submitted_data){
return ‘publish’;
}

looks like your quotes might be wrongly formatted, try:

add_filter( "cf7_2_post_status_orders", "publish_new_post",10,3);
function publish_new_post($status, $ckf7_key, $submitted_data){
return "publish";
}

assumig this worked. Marking this as resolved.
