First of all you have to understand that when we update a post, wp_update_post function is called. But due to a bit not optimal design of WP core, the actual saving is processed by wp_insert_post function. See it in trac on line 3006. Ok, next lets see what is inside of wp_insert_post function. As you … Read more
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
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 is_user_logged_in() ) { // User must be logged in to view unpublished posts.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
you may add a filter on wp_insert_post_data: add_filter( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘my_force_publish_post’, 10, 2 ); function my_force_publish_post( $data, $postarr ) { if ( ! isset($postarr[‘ID’]) || ! $postarr[‘ID’] ) return $data; if ( $postarr[‘post_type’] !== ‘inventory’ ) return $data; $old = get_post( $postarr[‘ID’] ); // the post before update if( $old->post_status !== ‘draft’ ) { // force … Read more
This is probably not the best way to do it since it wont persist after wordpress updates (but hopefully the update will correct it. In wp-admin/includes/post.php ,edit the post_preview() function just before returning the apply_filters( ‘preview_post_link’, $url ); put the following code: //ORIGINAL //$url = add_query_arg( $query_args, get_permalink( $post->ID, true ) ); //CHANGES to make … Read more
As far as I remember pings are outgoing, they don’t need your site to accept incoming XML–RPC requests. The call might not be even coming from your site at all. For example http://pingomatic.com/ site allows you to perform pings for arbitrary URLs.
I had the same issue as you when I was dealing with events and wanted to show future events. Here is what I coded: add_action( ‘init’, ‘change_future_posts_to_post_now’ ); function change_future_posts_to_post_now() { remove_action(“future_post”, ‘_future_post_hook’); add_action(“future_post”, ‘publish_future_posts_now’, 2, 10); } function publish_future_posts_now($depreciated, $post) { wp_publish_post($post); } add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘show_future_posts_where’, 2, 10); function show_future_posts_where($where, $that) { global $wpdb; if(“post” … Read more
This works for me: add_filter(‘page_attributes_dropdown_pages_args’, ‘my_attributes_dropdown_pages_args’, 1, 1); function my_attributes_dropdown_pages_args($dropdown_args) { $dropdown_args[‘post_status’] = array(‘publish’,’draft’); return $dropdown_args; }
I have a windows 7 and installing the ClickOnce Tools was not enough. The signtool.exe appeared after also installing the sdk:
