I have recently noticed this. maybe I'm doint something wrong !


If I create a few blog entries (say for a weekend when I'm going to be away) and change the posting timestamp to (say next day) , and select to create forum post for that blog entry, after the weekend, looking at the blog entrues, they seem ok, and  the link still appears in the blog entry to go to the forums, but the entry doesnt exist in the forum.


I have searched the support forums for stuff like this but can't find anything - what am i doing wrong - or is this a bug ??


Thanks for SF2.1 - looking forward to V3 - keep up the good work


help !!!!!!

Now that is something I haven't tried. If there is a problem then it sounds like the problem may be with WP. The forum plugin replies on WP to 'inform' it of when a blog post is published. It then creates the topic and I can see no reason why triggering that at a future time should fail. My uess is that it is not being triggered.

I will need to run some tests which I will try and do this morning.

actually, this is a known problem with wordpress, (though I haddn't thought to test it with SPF)


The documented issue is that future posts do not ping at the time of their posting, that is to say, they do not notify other blogs and ping services that a new post has been made, when the publication date rolls around…


There have been a few attempts at fixing this issue, and I believe there is at least one plugin that claims to have fixed it. I have not tested it myself.

MMMm - maybe what I need to do as a workaround is advance post them, butchoose NOT to create a forum entry, and only create the forum entry after posting - since this a problem with WP, I dont think that there is a SF answer to it !
