Custom Post Type Saving as Draft

  • Hello, I’ve run into an odd issue that I haven’t been able to find a solution for.

    I have a custom post type that has been created (along with several others), yet every time a new post is created and published it only saves it as a draft. However, if I use quick edit from the menu I can change the published status to published and save it and that works.

    The odd thing is I’m using very similar code for several other custom post types and they all work fine and this was working originally and only recently started not working. I can’t find any solutions on the web so I’m requesting assistance.

    Also, I should note that the post does save, it just saves as draft.

    Register Hook

    register_post_type( 'speakerbooks', array (
	'description'			=> 'Speaker Books',
	'show_ui'				=> true,
	'menu_position'			=> 7,
	'exclude_from_search'	=> false,
	'supports'				=> array( 'title', 'editor'),
	'public'				=> false,
	'rewrite'				=> array(
		'slug' => 'speakerbooks',
		'with_front' => 'false'
	),
	'labels'				=> array(
		'name'			=> 'Speaker Books',
		'singular_name'	=> 'Speaker Book',
		'add_new'		=> 'Add New Book',
		'add_new_item'	=> 'Add New Book',
		'edit'			=> 'Edit Book',
		'edit_item'		=> 'Edit Book',
		'new_item'		=> 'New Book',
		'view'			=> 'View Books',
		'view_item'		=> 'View Book',
		'search_items'	=> 'Search Books',
		'not_found'		=> 'No books found.',
		'not_found_in_trash'	=> 'No books found in the trash.'
	),
	'register_meta_box_cb' => 'add_speakers_metaboxes'

) );

    I found a solution on my own to override the save function that fixes it but I still can’t figure out why it is even happening to begin with. This required adding this to the end of my save_post function.

    // original publish override to fix a bug that was preventing speaker books from publishing on save
if (isset($_REQUEST['original_publish']) && $_REQUEST['original_publish'] == 'Publish') :
	$poststatus =  $_REQUEST['original_publish'];
	// // // unhook this function so it doesn't loop infinitely
	remove_action( 'save_post', 'cpt_save_post' );

	// // // update the post, which calls save_post again
	wp_update_post( array( 'ID' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => $poststatus ) );

	// // // re-hook this function
	add_action( 'save_post', 'cpt_save_post' );
endif;
