Major bugs with V18 broadcast tools

  • We use these plugins:

    1. broadcast
    2. broadcast groups
    3. queue
    4. keep child status

    There are a few major bugs of which i have screenshots:

    If you save the parent with the following settings set:
    – Link the post to the parent checked
    – custom fields checked
    – keep child status as: draft
    – broadcast to (with sites selected)

    1.) The sites are linked but which sites shows up broken: https://i.imgur.com/Kgb82sE.png.

    2.) With the same settings as #1) everytime you save the parent it makes a new duplicate post on the sites you broadcasted to which means alot of duplicate content. The correct behavior is to simply update or do nothing since the child posts have already been created.

    Here is showing dupes from saving the parent post several times because there were updates to the parents content: https://i.imgur.com/7TZboVA.png

    As a note of observation to be verified, the issues seem to happen when using the queue part of the tools. I think something is going on with the asynchronous ajax calls. Maybe there is a way to disable the “update” button on a post until all the requests come back successful. Of course you would need to be careful that if a ajax request fails for some reason that the user is not permanently stuck with not being able to update a post.

    General request to the new “cron” feature. Is there anyway for this to be made into an option to be a wordpress cron? We manage our wordpress crons using Crontrol plugin by another developer.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regarding #1 I’d run a broadcast data maintenance check to ensure that posts are correctly linked to any existing children. Strange that it would report three children but not be able to list them.

    Regarding #2, I hope it’s related to #1.

    And the cron… I’ve never really had any good experience with WordPress cron, but it you’re willing to be a little bit of a lab bunny for me then we could try adding cron support together. E-mail me.

    I will run the maintenance and clean everything and test it out but I think this is directly related to the queue plugin since these posts were brand new. When the queue is disabled the linking does not have an issue.

    I will set you up with a staging environment and send you the info via email.
