WordPress › Support » [Plugin: WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages] Sitewide Tags not getting posts

I migrated 9 sites in to my 3.1 network last night. I installed and enabled Sitewide Tags (as the default blog named tags); All of my sites are public; the tags blog is public.

I updated settings;
I checked "all blogs" and did the populate blog action.

I seem to only get 1 current post from one of my sites (that was dated Dec 17, 2010) plus entries from one other site, the newest of which is from 2007. Nothing/nada from any other site.

I uninstalled, deleted the tags blog, reinstalled -- still no joy.

It's all the default settings, but the page is here:

the populate blog action is buggy.

just go to any subsite. write a new post or update any old post. does it pull thru? then it worked.

I think this has to do with the migration from standalone sites to multi-site: as posts are updated (even if they are older posts) they begin to show up in the page.

Interesting that is requires the update to trigger a post being included. Good for a fresh start, not so good for something that is migrated.

I had the same problem on my site. They know and will fix it :) Or take it away if they can't. They're good devs like that.

Yeah, we discovered this *yesterday*. :) Give us a bit to fix it. ;)

Thanks - at least I know I'm not totally crazy. Yes, if I update or post something new it comes through. I hope that eventually it will work like I thought it would. I am consolidating several sites into one multi-site install, and it does look funny to have 3 new posts and 200 from 2007 and back.

I'll give you guys time.

Found similar with mine just now after the upgrade. All of the posts from one blog are there. None of the posts from another. Doing an update had no effect. I'll look in the database to see if they are there; just not showing.

sperichal - we already know for sure the populate posts option grabs only one blog.

No, not that. Before the upgrade to 3.1, all of the posts from two blogs were going to the Tags blog. After the upgrade, only one set appears. The others are gone and updating a post from either no longer posts or updates the Tags blog entries. They're frozen. Just checked the database and posts from both blogs are in there, just not displaying posts from the one blog.

I did find out that, somehow during the upgrade, the "Public" flag got turned off on the blog that now has no posts in the Tags blog. Strange. I'd wager that this is probably related to the reason for their disappearance because I have the "don't pull posts from non-public blogs" switch flipped.

Try the development version http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/download/ to test the populate posts.

@spherical - I had the same issue with the public flag. SWT removes the posts for a blog when that flag is turned off.

Thanks Ron. Overwriting 0.4.1 (which was dev when I put it in place) with 0.4.1.1 now allows manual post updates for both blogs to show in the Tags blog. The Populate Posts attempt from the missing blog, however, resulted in:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /usr/www/users/[username]/[wp3location]/wp-content/plugins/sitewide-tags/sitewide-tags.php on line 194

so I'm into manual updates through the Edit Posts pages.

What I don't understand, though, is that the posts from the missing blog are still all in the Primary Blog posts table in the database. What would prevent them from showing if they've already been pulled; whether the plugin was activated or not? Seems that, once they're in the posts table, they'd show, no matter what.

While the Featured Image thumbnail came across fine, one image in the body of the post that came back doesn't show. It's internally linked, without the "http://domain.tld/" prepend in the img tag. I thought that this didn't matter in recent previous versions. Did it?

Thanks for the note on the error, I'll have a look at that.

Yes, once the post is copied you don't need SWT to have it show up in the loop.

Are you running any thumbnail type plugins in the source blog?

That's what I figured. Sooooo, why would it take going though the entire set of posts doing Quick Edit/Update to kickstart them

And what do you think may have knocked down the Public flag on only one blog. I may never have noticed it except for my eyes falling on the grey admin bar to the right of the Site Title where it said "Search Engines Blocked". Huh?

Get the Image may fall into that category, but it's not the thumbs that are the problem, instead the images inserted into the post body.

instead the images inserted into the post body.

SWT does not make and subtitutions in the post. For image tags in the post body ensure the full url is in the source post (which is what the media uploader inserts by default).
