Postie and Remote/featured image issue???

    Hello,

    i use a combination of Postie and a plugin called Auto Save Remote Image. The plugin saves the first remote image from the post, and saves it and sets it as the featured image. So i can simply email an image url wrapped in the <img> tags and it loads it as a featured image as well as in my content.

    the problem is… when i manually check in the Postie setting panel, the image is set as the featured image without a problem. But if i wait until Postie checks at its’ ten minute interval, then the image only shows up in the content of the post, not as the featured image. (unless i open the post in the wp-admin and simply click “update”..it then is set as the featured image.)

    I know this is not entirely the issue of this plugin, but the fact that it works well together when i manually check, but not when i autocheck could offer me some insight into what my solution may be!

    thanks!

    You might want to check with Prebhdev Singh the author of Auto Save Remote Image, as there seems to be some debate about whether the publish_post hook should be called with add_action or add_filter.

    If you’re comfortable changing the php it is a simple change to make to see if it works for you. Line 10 in auto-save-remote-images.php

    thanks for your reply!

    unfortunately i changed the add_action call with add_filter, but still the same issue. I must “update” the post manually, OR “Run Postie” manually to get the image to be set as the featured image.

    I will await a reply from Mr. Singh! And perhaps research a way to automatically “update” the posts, as to trick wordpress into thinking that I have manually done this.

    thanks again!!
