You could use a custom field for a post which is saved via XMLRPC by using the action hook xmlrpc_publish_post. wpse_from_xmlrpc() could than check this custom field. <?php add_action( ‘xmlrpc_publish_post’, ‘add_xmlrpc_postmeta’ ); function add_xmlrpc_postmeta( $post_id ){ update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘send-by-xmlrpc’, 1 ); } function wpse_from_xmlrpc( $post_id ){ $xmlrpc = get_post_meta( $post_id, ‘send-by-xmlrpc’, true ); if( $xmlrpc … Read more
