wpas_default_message filter not working

    10 years, 8 months ago

    It seems no matter what I try, I cannot change the Publicize default message.

    function default_msg() {
  return 'This is a msg, there are many like it but this one is mine';
}
add_filter('wpas_default_message', 'default_msg');

    I’ve tried several methods of debugging and I don’t experience any errors, but the $default_message class variable remains unchanged.

    Jetpack is the only plugin I’m currently running. I tried deactivating and reactivating, I also tried clearing my social media connections and reconnecting them, all to no avail.

    Please help, I’m pulling my hair out over this!

    Hi!

    I will reply here instead of the email that you sent in.

    I tried the above code in a functionality plugin, and it worked exactly as expected; the custom Publicize message that appeared on the Post Edit screen, as well as what was Publicized, matched the message you included. The only thing I did different was prefex default_msg with j_ (so, jp_default_msg) in case there was any potential namespacing conflict.

    So, I don’t know what the issue is with your tests, then! Is this for a regular post, or a custom post type? Where did you add this code?

    It is for a custom post type which has 'publicize' in its array of supported capabilities.

    I added this code to my functions.php file right after the code that successfully modifies some of Jetpack’s Open Graph tags.

    …I also just tried this on the built-in post type and same result. It does not work.

    Also tried switching my theme to Twenty Twelve without any modifications other than adding this filter to the functions.php file and same result. It does not work.

    Really strange.

    Could you stick your custom code into a pastebin for me please, so I can have a look? https://pastebin.com

    Thanks!

    Sorry, I wasn’t specific enough. Could you add your other custom code too? The one that sets up the CPT, and the one that modifies the Jetpack OG tags?

    Hi! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you!

    I tried all of your code in a custom Functionality plugin, and it worked perfectly as expected. The custom prefix, message and suffix were there, on regular posts and on the CPTs.

    Can you try a functionality plugin instead of in your theme’s functions.php? This plugin can help you get going quickly with one:

    Let me know how that goes.

    To ensure we’re on the same page can you make a zip of your plugin available to me please? A link or via email works fine (you should have my email from my support request).

    Thanks Richard!

    Hi!

    Well, I just had an empty plugin, and I copy/pasted your code into it, nothing fancy, and no additional code either. Here is what I had:

    That seemed to work. I think my issue was I was trying to filter the messages on posts where the message had already been generated and added to its meta.

    Ah! yeah, that’s definitely the issue, you can’t re-Publicize anything. Glad you solved it, and good for you for putting that code together!
