wp-cron Explanation & Situation

  • I am using a custom built script to insert posts, and future posts into the wp_posts table. That same script, when ran, checks to see if there is a post scheduled for the day and changes it’s status to published.

    Will this prevent my posts from being pinged through wordpress services?

    Plus I notice that when I post through wp, the db table fields ‘to_ping’ and ‘pinged’, always remain empty. What are they for?

    Thank you!

    Also I have another question, if anyone can help…

    I use my auto publisher to set post_status from “future” to “published” but I use a plugin that performs actions when posts are edited or posted through the wordpress system.

    and this question goes along with the question above too,

    What is being called to run the scripts on the post, and can those actions be called externally somehow–from my external script?

    Please help
