thanks jeremy!

sorry for the late reply, i have been on travel.

two conditions need to be present for this to occur(at least as far as I have seen):

1. I have only seen this happen for scheduled posts, maybe it has something to do with the way wp-cron publishes articles vs manually publishing.

2. Another plugin needs to attempt to apply “the_content” filter. The problem shows when I use the WP Book Lite plugin.

ok, so i modified wpbook-lite/includes/publish_to_facebook.php
by replacing every occurrence of ‘actions’ => $actions,
with ‘fb:explicitly_shared’ => ‘true’,

and that seemed to do the trick

Thanks for your help Jeremy. Do you still need me to keep jetpack installed to debug the issue? If not, I will remove jetpack from my site for the time being.

Also, the capability that yaokleypr mentioned is exactly what I was looking for when I stumbled upon this problem. Possibly a great candidate for future capability?

My apologies for the ambiguity. If random users can subscribe to my stats without registering with my site I would like to know how to disable that as well, if possible.

So I created a new test user from my dashboard with a subscriber role and created a new account on wordpress.com for the new test user and got the same result. (I sent another set of screenshots through your website)

Feel free to try it for yourself. You can register with our site by creating an account or using the federated login.(although registering through our site makes you a contributor instead of a subscriber) After you do so, you should be able to login to wordpress.com and see the site stats.

If I remove stats subscribers manually, what prevents them from coming back? I guess the goal would be to block all stats subscribers rather than trying to remove them after they have seen the stats.

I sent you a message through your website with the site URL, reinstalled jetpack, tested to make sure the problem still exists and grabbed some screenshots.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,

You are correct that the stats do not show up in the Site Stats section when the user logs into my website. However, if the user goes directly to wordpress.com to log into their personal blog, they can see both their blog stats as well as the stats to my website. Also, I double checked the stats setting at the time and it was configured to only allow admin access.

Unfortunately I have deleted Jetpack, so I don’t have a screenshot to show, but I can reinstall it and send you a link to my site if this will help you.

i just changed the settings to force the ad to show after a few paragraphs, but its no longer in the middle of the article. i can send you the html if that would be helpful?

lol…
i am the host… =(
in anycase, i rebuilt the server w/the extension enabled

one thing to point out is that mbstring is a non-default extension:
https://us2.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php

so possibly a notice or disclaimer acknowledging the dependency on the extension would be appropriate?

alternatively, i don’t know much about php, but if there is some type of error handling that can be done to exit gracefully if the function call fails, that might be a bit less intrusive.

thanks for your help and quick responses!
problem is resolved.

i am running wordpress version 3.4.2
php version 5.3.16

i undid my changes (for the workaround) and everything seems to work fine now

i did add a few other plugins and updated a few plugins as well as my theme so im not sure what change might have caused/fixed the problem

i can try to figure out all the changes ive made over the past few weeks if you need, but everything seems to be working fine now (at least for me)

thanks for your help!

i am using a custom theme generated using Artisteer version 3.1.0.56360

Running WordPress Version 3.4.1

still no luck =(
just to clarify, the “description” tag is from the rss feed itself, there’s no additional (nested?) description tag w/in the description section of the rss feed

no luck…
the thing that has me stumped is that the text is not within the “a” tag
is there a way to grab the text within the “description” tag?

sorry to piggyback on this thread, but I have the same problem and am trying to get the text “?2012 Bob Englehart, The Hartford Courant” from the description below:

<description>
<a href='URL omitted'><img border='0' src='URL omitted' alt='Bob Englehart, Labor Day, , bailouts, business, conservative, economy, holiday, jobs, labor day, liberal, unemployment' ></img></a><BR><BR>?2012 Bob Englehart, The Hartford Courant
