Why should the post_type 'page' is always excluded?

  • When I post a WP page, there’s no link added to FB timeline. I didn’t set it to be excluded.

    I found in the source code that the post_type ‘page’ is always excluded.
    add-link-to-facebook-class.php line 1470-1473:

    // Check if public post
if (empty($post->post_password) &&
	($post->post_type != 'page' || $add_new_page) &&
	!self::Is_excluded($post))

    Is there any reason for this?

    One strange thing is that the AL2F meta box appears inside the editor of the post_type ‘page’, as in any other post types.
    But it is really unusable!

    Hi,

    The first code explains it. It explicitly checks for settings of Add link to configuration. Thus, if you have set $add_new_page, then only it will add post on pages.

    For your second query, can you specify steps to reproduce the error?

    1. Enter the App ID and App Secret. Let all the default settings. Then save.
    2. Authorize an FB account.
    3. Go to menu Page > Add New.
    4. The AL2F meta box appears at the right side. Enter the page title and content. Then publish.
    5. No link added to WP dashboard. No link added to FB timeline. No error message at all.

    As I said, this happen only to the post_type ‘page’.
    In ordinary post, the link was added.
    In custom post types, the link were added too.
