When I first create a new post in Wordpress, it’s no longer auto-posting to Discourse. (Yes, the checkbox is selected.) It posts immediately if I click “update” on the post in Wordpress, though.
There’s no error when I first publish the post, but I also don’t see the notification banner saying that it was successfully published to Discourse at the top of the Wordpress editor page until I click update.
Any idea what could cause this, @simon?

Did this start happening after updating the plugin?

Well, I’m sorry to say that since this is still in staging, and I haven’t been using it much, I can’t say when it started. All I can say is that it was working correctly a month ago, and now it doesn’t. I’ve run updates when they pop up, but I have no idea what’s been updated. Is there any way of seeing a history of that in WP?
I’ve also probably installed other plugins since then. FWIW.
I can tell you that I’m running v1.6.5

This is probably being caused by a conflict with your theme or another plugin on your site. Can you share any details about your site’s theme and the plugins you have installed?

Thanks. That’s what I figured. I’m using Extra from Elegant Themes, and that’s been updated recently. Then I’m using a bunch of plugins, most of which are pretty standard. A few of them are more unique, though. I’ll run down the list and see if I can find the conflict.

Thanks! If you find out what is causing the problem, please let us know.

I believe I’ve been able to narrow this down to a simple incompatibility with the Social Warfare plugin:
> **[Social Sharing Plugin – Social Warfare](https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-warfare/)**
>
> The most beautiful, responsive, lightning fast social share buttons built to boost shares and drive more traffic without slowing down your site.
It’s a pretty popular plugin, and personally I’d really like to keep using it. I’m also fairly certain that the problem cropped up in a recent update, either to it or the Discourse plugin. Is there any chance of getting it fixed? Any other information I can provide? Logs I can look at?
Thx.

I’ve installed the Social Warfare plugin on my local development site. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to replicate the problem that you are having. Looking at the plugin’s code, I can see something that might be causing a problem for you, so I’ll look at it some more and try to reproduce the error.

Perhaps a combination of settings? I’d be happy to provide screenshots of how I’m setup if you want.

That would be great. The plugin hooks into the WordPress `save_post` action in a few places. Depending on the order in which functions are being called, this could cause a conflict with the Discourse WordPress plugin.

Here you go. No SSO in use. First majority of [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) settings and then Social Warfare ones. And let me know if you want anything from the actual Discourse instance. I’m assuming that is irrelevant. (Also other settings that I left out.)

I still can’t reproduce this. If you can confirm that when the Social Warfare plugin is deactivate you can successfully publish posts to WordPress, I’ll install the plugin on a live site and test it out next week.

Just a quick update.
First, I disabled, deleted, reinstalled and reconfigured the WP-Discourse plugin. The problem persisted. Posts only made it to Discourse after hitting “Update,” not upon first publishing the post.
Second, I disabled all plugins, re-enabled only the WP-Discourse plugin, and confirmed that posting works properly right away on hitting “Publish.”
Third, I added just Social Warfare to the mix and the problem did _not_ return. This is contrary to my previous results where I confirmed that the conflict was Social Warfare (using just the same method listed here, but without the first step). So I proceeded to further testing, re-enabling all the plugins a few at a time and testing each step of the way. **The problem never returned.**
Perhaps it has to do with the order that the plugins are enabled? Perhaps it was fixed by a recent update to one of the plugins? (But neither WP-Discourse nor Social Warfare have been recently updated.) So whatever the problem was, it seems to be gone. If it returns I’ll post back in here.
