“Tweet Sent Successfully” on Republish

    Hi,

    We are running into a small issue with WP to Twitter and republishing posts that had been previously unpublished (by setting to draft).

    Expected behaviour:
    Republishing a draft that had previously been published and tweeted DOES NOT trigger WP to Twitter. No tweet is sent, no message is shown.

    Actual behavior:
    Republishing a draft that had previously been published and tweeted DOES NOT trigger WP to Twitter (as expected). No tweet is sent (as expected), “Tweet Sent Successfully” message is shown.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Edit previously published (and previously tweeted) post
    2) Set post to draft, update
    3) Edit same post again
    4) Click “Publish” to republish the post
    5) “Tweet Sent Successfully” message is displayed.
    6) No new tweets have been published on the connected Twitter feed.

    So, we’re wondering – is this just a bug with displaying the message, or is it actually trying to send the tweet, but Twitter is denying it because the content matches an already-published tweet exactly?

    If Twitter was denying it, you wouldn’t get a successful message. It could be that there’s no new attempt being made, but you’re just seeing the message from the last attempt.

    Are you on the latest version of WP to Twitter?

    Yep we’re on latest (3.3.6).

    I had a look through the manual again and twigged on to “Do not post Tweets by default (editing only)” and checked that. After testing again, we’re no longer getting the “Tweet Sent Successfully” message which is good.

    I still think it might be a bug, though? Because if a tweet isn’t sent, it shouldn’t show the message period, right?
