Post-indexer and posts by email (Jetpack) issue

Greetings WPMU,

We are impressed with the suite of plugins available – they are functioning exactly as advertised; however, when post-indexer is combined with another popular plugin (Jetpack) it seems to have issues picking up new content through the “Post by email” function.

The (email) post arrives and appears on the site, but at no point is it indexed by your plugin unless you edit it. It’s not a matter of waiting, as we can create new posts from wp-admin that are promptly indexed while the email post sits dormant.

Other users here suggest that it could be related to the wp_insert_post vs. save_post hook, if you suspect this is the case we will wait for a plugin update; if not, any advice is welcomed.

Thank you for your time.

    Ah, Jetpack ( :slight_smile: ). The post by email module in jetpack doesn’t actually do much other than allow you to link your blog and set up an email address. All the processing is done on WordPress.com and then it links to your site via xmlrpc and creates the post (or at least that’s what it looks like is happening by checking what little code there is in it :slight_smile:, as they don’t actually mention this anywhere – that I’ve found so far anyway).

    So the issue may be with xmlrpc posting. I’m checking now.
