Title: cms commander/publicize not posting Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # cms commander/publicize not posting * [serenityacu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serenityacu/) * (@serenityacu) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/) * I apologise if this has been posted already but I couldn’t find an answer. I run several sites using wordpress. I would like to manage them through cms commander, as it is convenient for me to do so. The problem is that any post/blog that is published to any site using cms commander is not autopublished to the appropriate facebook account. Please help. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773443) * I’m afraid I’m not really familiar with CMS commander. Could you ask the developers how the posts are created? Do they use a custom method, or do they post with something like `wp_insert_post()`? Could you also ask them how they handle the different custom fields that can be attached to a post? * Thanks! * [Thomas Hoefter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoefter/) * (@thoefter) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773608) * Hi Jeremy, * I am one of the developers of CMS Commander. The OP got in touch with me and pointed me to this thread. Thank you for looking into this! * CMS Commander uses the wp_insert_post() function for creating posts and custom fields are inserted via update_post_meta(). Let me know if there is anything else necessary to make the posting process work with Jetpacks publicize feature. * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773613) * [@thomas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomas/) Thanks for jumping in! * How do you handle custom fields created by other plugins? Do you pull them in when saving drafts? * [Thomas Hoefter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoefter/) * (@thoefter) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773627) * Hi Jeremy, * since CMS Commander is used to post to user sites remotely via our dashboard other plugins’ custom fields (which the user has installed) would not be created. * Users can however easily create and add custom fields when posting inside CMS Commander. If Jetpack’s Publicize feature requires a certain custom field to trigger it just let me know the name and value. I can then tell OP how to set it up. * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773628) * We save a few custom fields during the transition between draft and published for each post, as you can see here: [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/master/modules/publicize/publicize.php](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/master/modules/publicize/publicize.php) * Namely, we save the status of the post (has it been publicized already), the message that will be sent by Publicize, a link to the connected Twitter account, and a link to the connected Facebook account if there is one. * I hope this helps. * [Thomas Hoefter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thoefter/) * (@thoefter) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773633) * Thanks for the reply Jeremy. Unfortunately CMS Commander would have no way of knowing the Twitter/FB account links and could not set those as a custom field. Would it still be possible to include a certain custom field (which one?) with the remote posts made by CMS Commander that would trigger the publicize feature as OP wants? * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773641) * I’ve asked one of our developers to take a look, and we’ll see if we can come up with an easy solution! * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cms-commanderpublicize-not-posting/#post-5773645) * [@thomas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomas/) Could you give me more details about how CMS Commander posts to WordPress? Does it publish as a new user, or using XML-RPC and posting as the WordPress user who connected Publicize in their dashboard?
