I’d especially like to add tags/hashtags.

Ah, I see.

Here is a screen cast. I have used this exact process for the last four days with the exact same results.

Please let me know if you need more. I really appreciate having this check for alt text and would love to see it working smoothly.

Thanks. I know how to share a screen cast. For privacy reasons I don’t want to share here. How to contact you?

OK, I made three posts all using above procedure and got the same results. If you need a screen cast I could do that. Please give me a way to send it to you directly if you want one.

I reported in as much detail as I know. However I publish daily, so now I will keep very close record of exactly each click I make. I will report back if I find a pattern or not.

Thank you!

Thanks! That solved both problems. Love the plugin and the support.

Thank you so much!

I have detected another issue that happens with the same versions listed above.

I can no longer paste text into the title of the post/page. I can type there, but not paste there. I realize this may be a completely different issue so I am happy to create a new one if you like.

Thanks so much for working on this! The technical details are beyond me, but if you need me to test anything, I’m happy to.

Thanks for helping out, by the way!

Oh, helping with trouble shooting is the absolute *least* that we should be doing as users.

The instruction to “ignore first call” in the code does seem very fragile.

Please keep me posted and let me know anything you would like me to try.

If you look again at my screen shot, you can see that I already/always have the custom fields metabox enabled (I need it for a different plugin). So would that disprove your theory?

I’m more than happy to work with you to solve the problem.

It was meant to be an “experimental” workaround

lol! That does sound better.

I’m just using out of the box WordPress. No classic editor, pure Gutenberg through the regular website admin interface. No page builder.

These are my active plugins:

• DreamHost Panel Login Version 1.0.0 by DreamHost, danielbachhuber
• Duplicator Version 1.5.5.1 by Duplicator | Auto-updates disabledGP PremiumVersion 2.3.1 by Tom Usborne
• Icegram Express Max Version 5.6.15 by Icegram
• PublishPress Checklists Version 2.9.0 by PublishPress
• Share on MastodonVersion 0.17.0 by Jan Boddez
• WP Mail SMTP Version 3.9.0 by WP Mail SMTP
• Zapier for WordPress Version 1.0.4 by Zapier | Auto-updates disabled

I’m also using a modified version of your script that customizes the information included in the Mastodon post. I can share that if you like.

That did it. I wonder if it was upgrading to the latest version of WP that caused the problem.

Honestly, the explanation under “Known Bugs” didn’t make me think that it had anything to do with my problem. It just says

If somehow the plugin’s “meta box,” i.e., the “Share on Mastodon checkbox” (e.g., on the “Add New Post” screen) has disappeared

The meta box was there and it was ticked. So there is no way I could have known from that that it related to not publishing.

Also, labeling the checkbox in the interface “experimental” doesn’t seem accurate either. It’s not an experimental feature. More like a workaround. It also doesn’t explain that it may be related to things not publishing.

Any way, just some thoughts. I really appreciate the plugin and hope that your update fixes things for good.

Thank you!!

So, I activated the debug logging within the plugin itself and published a new post. Still nothing in the logs.

Any ideas?

Thank you. I look forward to seeing this added.
