It seems like a lot of the work done on this plugin is wasted due to a lack of documentation. The installation paragraph says to define the key, but it does not say where to define it. Very frustrating. ):
you dont need to use the key anywhere. Its for the plugin to encrypt password entered in the configuration page.
the key must be defined in the config.php page
Thank you for replying!
You’re saying the key must be defined, is that done by installing the plugin, or is that something I must edit wp-config.php to add?
you must edit the wp-config.php file to add the key
Ok, I have
* added the line to wp-config.php
* corrected the typo in the variable name
* added the semicolon to the end of the line
* cleared out any existing sites
* added a new site with
* a URL to the top of the site (is that where the “valid site URL” should point?)
* a known-good username and password
* a tick in the enable box
* a tick in one of the site groups
* connection successful! report
I see a couple of entries in the target webserver log that include encouraging things like:
"POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0" 200 12695 "-" "The Incutio XML-RPC PHP Library"
from the IP of my source site. So I
* create a test post on the source site
* tick the box to syndicate the post
* verify the post appears on the source site as expected
* wait for a couple of cycles of "POST /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=13802..625 HTTP/1.0" to appear in the target site’s log
… and still the post does not appear on the target site.
Have I missed anything here? Any idea what the problem might be?
Did you enable xmlrpc in your target website?
Yes, I am running 3.6.1 on all sites, so it is enabled by default.
Further, I can successfully post from a different XMLRPC interface (android app) to the target site.
There can be two things you are missing
1. Did you group your site in a sitegroup?
2. You must check with your host whether wp-cron works as expected.
for #1 – Yes, I added my site to a sitegroup (as noted in above).
for #2 – I am my host. What do you mean by “works as expected”? I have two other plugins that rely on wp-cron (postie, snapshot backup) and they are working fine. I am seeing regular entries in the weblog of both sites for wp-cron runs.
Can you elaborate a little on what the Push Syndication plugin uses wp-cron for?
thanks.
Hi jangil,
i am not sure what’s going wrong here.
the plugin use wp-crom to fire the job to syndicate post.
What is the name of the cron hook Push Syndication uses? I have another plugin called WP Crontrol that doesn’t show any hooks for Push Syndication. What schedule does Push Syndication operate on? (every 5 minutes, hourly, etc.)
Is this due to be configurable (or at least shown) in future versions?
