So we have a problem when posts are created or published by other plugins, the value specified for ‘publish to discourse’ is always ignored. Discussing the issue with one author of such a plugin the response was: their plugin may be using filters that are not triggered upon an anonymous update and In some cases we aren’t able to accommodate for plugins that don’t trigger filters/actions in a global manner. Is this a possibility? Raised this on github a while back with @benword and thought it was worth checking before I reopen the issue.

Thanks for the clarification. That isn’t quite the issue that I’m experiencing. create post select ‘Publish post to Discourse’ is already selected because it’s set to publish posts automatically schedule the post click ‘Publish’ the checkbox remains ticked but the post doesn’t publish the behaviour around reverting to default does happen in the same way as yours does

Which plugins are you using? Is this self-hosted or are you using a WordPress host? If so, which?

steve_pd: Which plugins are you using? As in, all the plugins? Or for this particular issue (in which case the answer is the official WP-Discourse plugin)? Discourse is hosted by Discourse, WP is with WPEngine

I suspect not, as I just found this [below] in the support docs and I’ve never requested it. Are you suggesting I do? This is not enabled on your server by default, so you will have to request to have it enabled via Support.

No, I was just curious if anything is affecting how scheduled posts are published on you site.

A number of plugins alter aspects of automated publishing. The old Editorial plugin and Coschedule are good examples of this. A list would be very helpful, yes.

You’ve prompted me to deactivate a few plugins that I don’t think we need – I was overdue for a clean up. I’ll do that now and if nothing changes in terms of the scheduled post issue I’ll come back to you with a list. I appreciate the help - thanks to you both.

Actually, while going through the above process I found both these, which may have an impact. [image] Thoughts on disabling these? I’m not sure that they’re necessary.

Using those two plugins makes sense, but it’s also quite likely the cause of the problem. There’s a small change that can be made to the wp-discourse plugin that should make it compatible with the Missed Schedule plugin.

Closing the loop on this – in excellent news, it would seem that WP Missed Schedule was the culprit. I’ve disabled it and I’m back in business.

Thanks all for your help on this – I really appreciate it.
