   the issue was due to curly quotes in the code.

 * Thanks for your note. One note about wp-cron: It will only run if there’s traffic
   to the site. Try refreshing your local homepage a few times to get wp-cron to
   run.

 * Tara,
    Thanks for your note. We are working on a new version of the plugin that
   will work with the two-step authentication. For the time being, you should be
   able to enable multi-factor auth and run Docs to WordPress using an application-
   specific password: [https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en)

 * Thanks for letting me know.
 * I’ve run into the problem of Google deciding the login is malicious a couple 
   times. A few notes:
 * * Often times I will set up a throwaway Gmail account just to use for this plugin.
   The account will just need access to the folder you’ve set the plugin up to draw
   from. This usually gets around the problem of Google thinking it’s a malicious
   login. I’m hoping to implement a fix for this in the next update to this plugin.
   *
   If there are any subfolders of the folder you’re drawing from, the plugin will
   choke and won’t really tell you what’s going on.
 * If you’re still having problems after checking the above actions, please feel
   free to email me at [will.davis@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdavis/replies/will.davis@gmail.com?output_format=md)

 * You guys are right, this hasn’t been updated for the new media modal. I’ll update
   it soon to support that.

 * Yes. A version of the plugin that includes that is in development. I’m hoping
   to push it out within the next few weeks.

 * The current version of the plugin relies on cURL exclusively to fetch the files,
   but in the upcoming version it uses WordPress’ built-in HTTP API for that. You
   can download the trunk version of the plugin at [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/docs-to-wordpress.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/docs-to-wordpress.zip),
   but I would definitely test it before putting it in a production environment.

 * (@wpdavis)
 * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-publish/#post-3376278)
 * This is similar to the question posed at [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-docs-to-wordpress-id-love-to-use-this-for-pages-rather-than-posts](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-docs-to-wordpress-id-love-to-use-this-for-pages-rather-than-posts)
   and the answer is the same, with a slight twist.
 * You can extend the Docs to WordPress plugin using the pre_docs_to_wp_insert filter.
   The plugin would look like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: Docs to WP auto publish
       */
   
       add_filter( 'pre_docs_to_wp_insert', 'docs_to_wp_auto_publish' );
       function docs_to_wp_auto_publish( $post_array = array() ) {
            $post_array[ 'post_status' ] = 'publish';
            return $post_array;
       }
       ```
   
 * I haven’t tested this, but it should do the trick.
