WordPress SEO – Twitter – Hashtag Support

Jeremy –

I’m not sure you revcieved this so I wanted to post it again in the forum. Here is what I have figured out about making the category hashtags prefix to publicized posts.

– I have disabled all plugins except for Jetpack, Jetpack Category Hashtags, and Buzz Burner to easily troubleshoot why category does not prefix to published posts.

– If I press the publish post button within edit posts for a post that I write using the WordPress editor, then the post publishes with the prefix category included.

– If I run a campaign from Buzz Burner plugin that pulls in feeds and publishes when you press “Run Campaign”, it does not prefix category to published posts.

Can you please let me know how I can easily modify the code snippet below so that it adds the category prefix when a Buzz Burner campaign is run?

I have your temp admin still enabled to take a look at the issue when you have a minute. I am very close now. Thanks again.

P.S. Interestingly, if the WP Bitly plugin is activated, the publicize custom message box does not include it but it IS included in the Twitter publicized post!

=========================

// Create our custom Publicize message
function jeherve_cust_pub_message() {
$post = get_post();

// Grab the first category of your post
if ( !empty( $post ) )
$categories = get_the_category( $post->ID );

if ( !empty( $categories ) ) {
$previous_cust = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_wpas_mess’, true );

$custom_message = ‘#’ . $categories[0]->cat_name . ‘ /’ . ‘ ‘ . $previous_cust;

update_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_wpas_mess’, $custom_message );
}
}

// Save that message
function jeherve_cust_pub_message_save() {
add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘jeherve_cust_pub_message’, 21 );
}
add_action( ‘publish_post’, ‘jeherve_cust_pub_message_save’ );
