IFTTT and wordpress problem

  • I have several wordpress to X recipes set up in IFTTT.
    some work fine, like wordpress to facebook. new post (non-category specific) = new status update on FB

    what DOES NOT work is any recipe that requires a specific wordpress category or tag as a trigger. This worked fine until a couple months ago, and it stopped working.

    for example, wordpress post in category “podcast” post status update to specific twitter account. doens’t work.

    Yes, I’ve disconnected and reconnected all my IFTTT channels, tried other recipes, same result. IFTTT support is no help.

    Did something change with wordpress cats or tags in the last couple months to break this?

    Hi,

    If it’s failing, it might be caused by your web host blocking XMLRPC calls (I did a test, and they just fired 6 requests at once to my xmlrpc file, which will likely trigger most protections blocking IFTTT from accessing your site).

    I’d ask your host if they have any XMLRPC protection, and mention that IFTTT isn’t working because of it if they do.

    thanks for the reply, but it’s not a web host blocking problem. Some ifttt recepes can talk to wordpress. it’s only the ones involving categories or tags

    I just ran it my self as a test, and it’s working as intended, have you tried disabling any plugins you have active and ran the trigger manually to rule out a plugin interfering?

    disabled all of my plugins, still get the recipe check error. One of the recipes I’ve tried (of several) is Recipe ID 27157590. It’s any recipe that specifically involves categories/tags.

    If you look at your server logs, can you actually see IFTTT making lookups/are there any detailed logs available when you look at the recipe logs them selves?

    I have used https://ifttt.com/myrecipes for about a year now but 3 months ago I started a WP site nearing completion i decided to set up feeds to my media pages. MY WP is 4.3.1 XML-RPC is enabled by default. I have seen many problems on the net about this without a solution. Any idea’s? My hosting is Bluehost

    @dennis-thailand Please create your own topic as your problem isn’t related to what we are discussing here at all I’m afraid ??

    Exactly same problem here.
    Can’t make publishing to a specific WP category to fire a trigger. But I’m able to post to WP in a specific category (as action).
    So, at leased in my case, the category WP problem is specific to triggers.

    were you able to solve this problem in the end? I think I have the same one.

    Yes I use POST to FB, Linkedin Plugin etc don’t use IFTTT with WP.
