Posts are being posted to FB every time the post is edited

In the Facebook Auto Publish plugins settings page you have a configuration ‘Default selection of auto-publish while editing posts/pages’ make it “no”

I have the “auto publish while editing” set to ‘no’ and I am still getting a duplicate post to Facebook for each edit. Is there a log that can help and/or is there another setting to check?

If the auto publish option while editing is NO, there is no chance for publishing again to social media. While editing the post please check the meta box in the bottom of the page and make sure that the auto publish option is disabled.

I probably wasn’t describing my situation very well.

The problem I am seeing is not “while editing” but rather every edit to a WordPress blog post is posted to Facebook as a new Facebook post.

Example:

New blog post is written and posted. This results in a new post on Facebook. Edit a typo error in the blog post and save. A second Facebook post is created.

Hi,

In the plugin settings page there is an option “Default selection of auto publish while editing posts/pages” and please use “Disable auto publish to all accounts” and try again.

If I set “Enable auto publish post to my facebook account” to “No” then I assume I’ll have to manually trigger the posting to Facebook. is this correct?

I don’t know if this is significant – I blog via email, the Workdpress mobile app, and a 3rd party mobile app. I do not blog using the web interface.

I think I’m having the same problem, so I’ll try to explain as best I can.

I have “Default selection of auto publish while editing posts/pages” set to “Yes” because I don’t want to have to explain to every new editor that they need to select this option every time they publish a post.

When they first publish something, it posts to Facebook Pages… perfect!

But when they edit the post (e.g., they spot a typo once it’s already published) it will be posted to Facebook Pages again. This is the issue I’m having.

In short: I only want to post to Facebook Pages if the post is going from non-publish (e.g., draft, pending) to publish state; not if it’s going from publish to publish state.

I think this could be achieved by adding the following code to the top of the xyz_link_fbap_future_to_publish() function in admin/publish.php:

if ($old_status === 'publish') {
    return;
}

Update: the above code worked. Non-published posts are being posted to Facebook Pages, but edited published posts are not.
