Overview
WordPress to Buffer Pro sends status(es) to Buffer when a WordPress Post, Page or Custom Post Type is published or updated.
WordPress to Buffer (and numerous editorial Plugins) rely on WordPress’ status transitions to perform these tasks – for example, the Plugin knows to send your Publish status(es) to Buffer when a WordPress Post transitions from draft/scheduled to publish.
This transition should be the final step performed by any third party Plugin creating/updating a Post (in the same way that WordPress themselves do) after the Post content is completed, a Featured Image defined, Custom Field / Meta data has been set etc.
However, there are several frontend post submission, autoblogging Plugins and RSS aggregator Plugins that wrongly perform these status transitions before assigning a Post’s Featured Image, Taxonomy Terms, Custom Field / Meta data etc. As a result, you’ll find that status(es) are either missing image / custom field data, or have incorrect data.
To resolve this, you’ll need to enable WordPress to Buffer Pro’s Use WP Cron feature, by:
- Navigating to WP to Buffer Pro > Settings in the WordPress Administration menu
- Clicking on the General Settings tab
