   When I create and publish Posts through Windows Live Writer there are no emails sent to suscribers by Subscribe2, Is there a way to use Subscribe2 and Live Writer? Thanks.

   What version of Subscribe2 are you using?

   Did this work in previous versions of WordPress do you know (before 3.2)?

   WordPress 3.3 and Subscribe 7.0.1
   I can't be positive but I think it did work with earlier versions.

   I am also noticing this issue, worked pre-3.2, Have updated to latest version of WordPress and Subscribe2

   I can still send messages manually through Subscribe2 but no auto notifcation is sent out when posting via LiveWriter

   Thanks guys,

   I'm doing some digging. I don't personally use Live Writer so can you describe the process for me?

   It uses a feature in WordPress called XML RPC. At the moment I think it's possibly down to one of 2 things:

   1/ Plugins are not being loaded in WordPress 3.3 when posts are made through XML RPC.
   2/ The post transition hooks are being fired differently somehow.

   No, with respect to the latter of these there may be a little fix. I think new posts made through XML RPC may get an initial post_status of 'auto-draft' and if these are then moved to a published state without being saved first then Subscribe2 won't get fired.

   Try looking in the subscribe2.php file, towards the very end there is a function called subscribe2() and it contains the following:

   add_action('new_to_publish', array(&$this, 'publish'));
   add_action('draft_to_publish', array(&$this, 'publish'));
   add_action('pending_to_publish', array(&$this, 'publish'));
   add_action('private_to_publish', array(&$this, 'publish'));
   add_action('future_to_publish', array(&$this, 'publish'));

   Try adding this to that same section:
   add_action('auto-draft_to_publish', array(&$this, 'publish'));

   MattyRob:

   The line addition to the file worked for me. Thanks.

   Windows Live Writer is hugely popular -- it works well, and you might try it yourself -- so you might expect this problem to be widespread. The new line should be part of the next upgrade.

   @bellarush,

   Thank you so much for confirming the fix - it's so difficult when you are trying to figure out what could be going wrong from just reading the code!

   I'll certainly get this fixed rolled into the next version.
