publish_post & xmlrpc_publish_post support needed

Did you solve this problem?

I’m trying to use it as follows:

add_action(‘publish_post’, ‘wordbook_publish’);
add_action(‘xmlrpc_publish_post’, ‘wordbook_publish’);

The publish_post action works fine but the xmlrpc_publish_post doesn’t seem to fire when posting from blogdesk

nothing solved it; i gave up for now but let me know if you find anything useful

Well I’ve tried all sorts of things and nothing works so I guess its actually a defunct hook which is a great pity because it would be a relly useful thing to have

The xmlrpc_publish_post hook is fired as part of the _publish_post_hook() function, which is part of the default filters list for the publish_post action. So it should be firing.

Oddly enough it works if I create a chunk of test code but when I use it for real it doesn’t seem to work at all

Edit to add: I think I’ve found it!

It doesn’t work if you call the same function!

so

add_action('xmlrpc_publish_post', 'wordbook_publish');
add_action('publish_post', 'wordbook_publish');

doesn’t work but

add_action('xmlrpc_publish_post', 'wordbook_publish_xmlrpc');
add_action('publish_post', 'wordbook_publish');

does!
