publish_post will give you a second parameter if you ask for it. Notice the fourth parameter of the add_action call. That is your post object. function run_on_publish_wpse_100421( $postid, $post ) { if (‘news’ == $post->post_type) // your code } } add_action(‘publish_post’,’run_on_publish_wpse_100421′,1,2);
Not sure the exact answer but I have a theory that it is a 24 hour window. You can get around relying on wp-cron and someone visiting your site every day by having your server handle your cron. Assuming you have cpanel, it’s fairly easy to do. Then just have this run every 12 or … Read more
Although the name of the function wp_publish_post() suggests that it can be used to publish a post it should obviously not be used to publish a draft post programmatically. The way to do so is to use wp_update_post() and set the post status manually to publish: <?php // Update post with the ID 42 $postData … Read more
Hook into post_submitbox_misc_actions and print the checkbox: add_action( ‘post_submitbox_misc_actions’, function() { ?> <div class=”misc-pub-section”> <label><input type=”checkbox”> click me</label> </div> <?php }); Wrap the code in a <div class=”misc-pub-section”>, otherwise the spacing looks a little bit weird. Examples: language selector, noindex checkbox, public preview checkbox.
Draft previews Take a quick look at this chunk of core code in query.php which [Checks] post status to determine if post should be displayed. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-includes/query.php#L2658 if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // User must be logged in to view unpublished posts. $this->posts = array(); } …is what makes it somewhat non-straightforward to bypass for … Read more
It’s not clear what you’re looking for here, but you could try to use the posts_where filter: /** * Remove posts, with a given status, on the edit.php (post) screen, * when there’s no post status filter selected. */ add_action( ‘posts_where’, function( $where, $q ) { if( is_admin() && $q->is_main_query() && ! filter_input( INPUT_GET, ‘post_status’ … Read more
Here is the description of transition_post_status from the codex: This function’s access is marked as private. That means it is not intended for use by plugin and theme developers, but only in other core functions. It is listed here for completeness. Use any of these functions instead. Why not use the publish_post action instead? There … Read more
Setup cron job You want to do some action (i.e. publishing a post) periodically, so first you need to schedule a cron job. Cron jobs are actions, that are fired periodically at some sort of a time interval. You can either use (non-perfect) WordPress Cron or replace it with a real cron job on your … Read more
When the post is created and set to pending, build a unique identifier for auto-publishing, for example: $unique = md5( $post->post_content ); add_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_auto_publish’, $unique ); Now create a link for the email: $link = get_permalink( $post->ID ); $link = add_query_arg( array( ‘autopublish’ => $unique, ‘pid’ => $post->ID ), $link ); Send this link … Read more
I think that hook fires after the post status has been updated. Try this add_action( ‘pre_post_update’, ‘intercept_adherence_publishing’, 10, 2); function intercept_adherence_publishing ($post_ID, $data ) { if (get_post_type($post_ID) !== ‘protocol-adherence’) { return; } $post = get_post($post_ID); $adherence_status = $_POST[‘_adherence_status’]; if ( ( $data[‘post_status’] === ‘publish’ ) && ( $post->post_type == ‘protocol-adherence’ ) && ( $adherence_status !== … Read more
