[Plugin: Wordbooker] "Working just fine…." Except It Isn't

  • I am trying to get Wordbooker to cross-post WP posts to Facebook.

    I have designated the page I want postings to, performed the log-in/configuration task, and the Settings say:

    Wordbooker appears to be configured and working just fine”

    … except it isn’t posting anything to Facebook. The diagnostics panel says only

    Commence Publish

    Can you suggest a couple of steps I might pursue to trouble-shoot this? There are a lot of options in the configuration, I really don’t know where to start.

    Here are the details on my installation:

    Turn on advanced diagnostics and see what happens when you do a post.

    Having the same problem; followed your suggestion and see that Wordbooker fails with this message: Publish Default is not Set, Giving up

    The checkbox for ‘Default Publish Post to Facebook’ is checked, however, so this is not helpful.

    Tnx.

    If its saying “Default is not set” then it isn’t set – because that is a specific flag so is it set when you go to Edit/Add post – Posts retain the settings that were in place when the post was created

    I was having the same problems for a while. And it puzzles me sometime it works, othertime not. So I look at the code where the post action is:

    function wordbooker_publish_action($post) {
    global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_login, $wpdb,$wordbooker_post_options;

    The $wordbooker_post_options was a global and it was loaded/initialized before it enters here. If you enter a post from a regular post.php page, the options will be fine. But if the function got called from other places, for example, “PressThis.php”, the wordbooker options are not loaded.

    To workaround the problem, you’ll have to save the post as a draft first. Then go to the dashboard/posts, then publish it.

    Actually if you look at the code you’ll see its:

    function wordbooker_publish_action($post) {
	global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_login, $wpdb,$wordbooker_post_options;

	$wordbooker_settings=wordbooker_options();
	$wordbooker_post_options= get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wordbooker_options', true);

    So its pulled from the post_meta anyway. If the post_meta isn’t getting populated its because the code in the wordbooker_process_post_data function (which fires on post transition) which contains a check for Press This publishing isn’t working properly.
