I believe I know what was causing my issue – it seems to be the hyphens in the subdomain name. I switched to a new subdomain visionary.davidjmiller.org and when I post there everything is working.

Also, in case it helps anyone, early in the process of trying to set things up I thought that the plugin was failing to handle follow requests. I eventually discovered that follow requests made through the Mastodon app I use, Tusky, would result in a “Follow requested” status but that follow requests made directly through the web interface for Mastodon worked just fine (including being able to see the follow and posts in Tusky).

This sounds exactly like what I’m experiencing on my site hosted by Bluehost: https://pursuit-of-liberty.davidjmiller.org/

Thanks. It’s working now.

This sounds like the same problem I’m having. Things used to be working so that when I would publish a post it would show up on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. Now it shows up on Facebook and Twitter but not Google+. What changed?

This tripped me up too. At the very least there should have been some comment that XML-RPC would be disabled by default in the latest version and perhaps a note that if users were having trouble using external apps that setting might fix the problem.

I don’t know enough of how Jetpack publicise works to answer this. Sorry.

You could set the interval to be 1/3 as long as the publishing window (e.g. 8 hours if you publish anytime of day, 2 hours if you set up a 6 hour publishing window, etc.)

I have posted the reporting code here

I wanted to see some reports of failed logins beyond simply the email notifications of when attacks are in progress. I wrote a very simple plugin to display that information in my admin area. I’d be happy to give the code to Daniel if he is interested in adding that to the plugin and wanted to see how I approached the reports.

That really depends on when you want posts to be published. Do you want them to publish any time of the day or night or do you only want them to publish during certain hours of the day – like 9 to 5 for example?

You need to create a publishing schedule that would publish the number of posts you will be creating in the amount of time that you want them to publish. Using your 30 posts example you would need a publishing schedule that would publish at least 4 posts each day. If that’s any time of the day or night you would want an interval of 335 minutes. If you want to only publish between 7 AM and 7 PM you would need an interval of 165 minutes.

As far as randomly distributing the posts – you can select the random publish option but I am not confident in that option working correctly and have not been able to figure out the bug there.

I’ll have to look at the code again for this because I thought I had coded it not to include drafts. One thing to check is whether it is showing drafts in your similar posts list when you are not logged in. I may have coded it to show similarity on drafts like I do private posts – only to those who could see those posts.

As for the numeric URL on the drafts – WordPress does not save the customized URL for a post until it has been published so those numeric URLs are what would be expected on a draft.

Drafts do not get scheduled. The plugin is designed to catch posts when you publish them.

When you activate the plugin it should have no effect on your drafts.

Sadly, no. I still have not figured out what is causing this behavior or how to fix it.

I have not touched this code since multisite got integrated into the core of WordPress so I can believe that it doesn’t work in a multisite install. I’ll have to look at what that would take to implement.

I like that idea. I’m not sure how fast I’ll be able to add it but I can see the value of having the independent queues for each author.
