No Tagging or Tweeting when using plugin

Hi

I was using Jetpack to post to Google+, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr etc but now I have had to revert back to a basic use of my own plugin Strictly TweetBOT which posts Tweets to accounts linked to Facebook. So I am now missing out on LinkedIn, Google+ and Tumblr.

I tried your plugin but I had the same problem as well as some others.

The problem is that no tagging is done by my own plugin Strictly AutoTags.

What I think is the problem with any of these auto posters is something to do with the way I have linked my two plugins Strictly AutoTags and Strictly TweetBot up.

Strictly AutoTags fires only on save_post and calls a function called SaveAutoTags which does the tagging and then sets a hook up using the post ID.

do_action('finished_doing_tagging',$object->ID);

Then the TweetBOT is hooked into publish_post and if we are ignoring AutoTag it posts the tweets otherwise it calls a function called CheckAndPostTweets which basically checks if the AutoTags plugin is installed and if so it looks to see if the post has been tweeted already by checking for a meta value set ONLY once tweeting is done e.g

// update meta so we know that we have tweeted this post
add_post_meta($post_id, 'strictlytweetbot_posted_tweet', '1', true);

If it hasn’t already Tweeted then it looks for the finished_doing_tagging event/hook and runs the PostTweets function e.g

// hook post_tweets into our finished_doing_tagging EVENT add_action('finished_doing_tagging',array($this, 'PostTweets'),99,1);

So the tweeting is only done AFTER the tagging is completed, which could take quite a while depending on the number of tags you have in your site.

I had to take this approach as I started noticing tweets going out with post tags as #hashtags because the tagging hadn’t completed before the tweet job ran. Even though I set the priorities really low and high.

I was told by someone from WP that you cannot rely on the priority to determine when a function or action/event is run.

Therefore I am thinking your plugin and others like it (Jetpack) are doing your calls on the publish_post hook and this is causing no tagging to be done or tweets to go out even if your social media posts go out.

I was wondering if you could think of a solution like somehow calling your plugins main function from my CheckAndPostTweets function in the TweetBot plugin once tagging has been completed. Then I know tags will exist, tweets will go out and then the social media posting to other sites can go out.

Other suggestions by anyone would be welcome!

Thanks
