[Plugin: Facebook Page Publish] Custom Post Type

I ran into this problem as well. Works fine for regular posts and pages, but not for my custom post types.

I’ve figured out how to alter the code to allow custom post types…

open fpp_index.php

look for the comment *Action Handler

you will see…

add_action(‘future_post’, ‘fpp_future_action’);
add_action(‘publish_post’, ‘fpp_publish_action’);

I have a custom post type called “wholesale”, so I added this below it…
add_action(‘future_wholesale’, ‘fpp_future_action’);
add_action(‘publish_wholesale’, ‘fpp_publish_action’);

Next find locations where it says

and change it to
if (is_object($post) && ($post->post_type == ‘post’)|| $post->post_type == ‘wholesale’)

there are just a few places where you have to change it.
Note: if you upgrade this plugin later.. you will have to add these changes again manually. This is a work around until the author adds custom post type support.

(note, this can also work for pages. instead of “wholesale” just type pages)

Hi condor85,

Thank you for posting your modification. I integrated this into the upcoming version 0.3.7, as always feedback is appreciated (0.3.7 will be released today / this weekend).

Hi there,

I’ve got the same problem. My website uses the custom post type “Portfolio”. But for some reason the plugin doesn’t post these items to Facebook. It still works for the normal posts though.

Is there any way I could get it to work?

Hi trancesetter,

the current version supports custom post types, so it should work. But since it does not, you could try this modified version of the plugin: https://pastebin.com/vtZC8Teq

To install, just go to Plugins->Facebook page publish->edit and replace the code in fpp_index.php with this new one.

Does this help?

Thanks. That works perfectly. Now I see that there’s a new version (3.9 instead of 3.9a) available, but when I update the plugin to the new version, then it does not work anymore.

I’ll stick to the old version, because that just works, but I just wanted to share it with you ??
