Crossposting not working as I expected

   Hi Kish,

   I just purchased your plugin and am looking around how to put it to use best. Crossposting, however, doesn\'t work (yet) how I expected it to work.

   When I crosspost, the functionality of any html markup is lost, but the markup is visually shown in the crossposted post. So bolded or italic text, or a link, are not copied but shown instead as e.g.:

   : /stronga href=http://test.maneros.nl/docnext/?p=100Mix and mash up/a from a href=http://test.maneros.nl/docnextDoc Next Network- Capturing the views of young European media-makers/a/p

   Am I missing something in setting kmp up correctly or is crossposting limited to markup-free blog posts?

   edit: FYI I use Wordpress 3.1 with a theme based on Genesis

   maneros - In crossposting the html tags are stripped because that may create problem if the tags are not closed properly. Have you enabled the crossposting plugin ? That has additional features to add more text and tags - Go to the plugins tab and enable the cross posting plugin and try

   I had the crossposting plugin activated.

   When I make a post like this: http://test.maneros.nl/docnext/?p=162 it turns out like this:

   a strongsimple /strongemtest/em delfor/delullicrossposting/liliand/lililooking/li/ulblockquoteat/blockquotep style=text-align: center;what/pa title=new news href=http://www.nu.nl/goes/a wrong with the html tags?

   And this is not only after crossposting, but also when previewing the post in the KMP.

   As I am configuring a network of blogs, that reposts a selection of posts from 6 different blogs, I would like to crosspost as much from the original post as possible, including html markup and images.

   Have you checked the settings? You have the option to post as original, just check that and try

   Can you send me a cross post page and the original post page with the settings details so that I can check out . If you want the cross posted post same as the original, you just need to enable it in the settings - Crosspost As Original

   Thanks for responding Kish. The option post as original does not seem to change anything for me, however when I check Add Post Source Link in Cross Posting, the link that is added is garbled up as well.

   Anyway I'll wait for your update and we'll see if that fixes my issue.

   maneros - Please download the crossposting plugin from your profile page

   http://kishpress.com/profile/ , you need to be logged in - Click on my purchased products button, you will find the cross posting plugin link. When you disable post as original, the html tags will be stripped as we will be taking only the mentioned number of charactors for posting and that may not include the closing tags. If you are posting as original, you will get the post exactly the same with all the html tags and formatting, Please check and update. To update this plugin, download the plugin, unzip it and overwrite the existing file which is inside the plugins folder inside kish-multi-pro

   If you want the first paragraph of the post, you can modify the crossposting.php as given below from line no 53
   
//$content= strip_tags($content,'');
$cutoff = get_option('kmp_cp_chars');
$cutoff = strpos($content, "</p>");
if(is_numeric($cutoff)) {
$content=substr($content, 0,$cutoff);
}
else {
$content= strip_tags($content,'');
$content=substr($content, 0,200);
}

    thanks Kish, but unfortunately my problem has not been solved. It isn't the strip_tags function, because if I comment it out like you did (line 53), the problem persists.

    To test, I crossposted this post: http://test.maneros.nl/docnext/?p=162 (from a test location) to the production site and get this as the result: http://www.docnextnetwork.org/2011/03/test-for-cossposting-5/

    In the settings, I had 'Crosspost as original' and 'Add Post Source Link in Cross Posting' checked - not that settings seem to make much difference in the result.

    As you can see in this screenshot: http://test.maneros.nl/docnext/wp-content/uploads/screenshot.jpg the post is already garbled up in the preview that KMP shows.

    Your support is appreciated.

    maneros - Can you create a login for me to your test site so that I can try cross posting to that site and debug. Are you using any plugins which modifies the content ? You can email me the login details of your test site (not a production site - http://test.maneros.nl). I have tested this plugin on more than 20 sites and I have 100's of users using this cross posting feature and have never got this kind of issue.

    Email me the login details to support@kishpress.com - I can find out the issue

    hi Kish, I may have deduced the origin of the problems. The production environment is on a bit of an akward hosting setup, that for example does not support .htaccess rewrite rules. I got it working with their custom rewrite rule setup, but this - or another idiosyncratic aspect of their environment - may cause the problem.

    I think it's the hosting setup, because if I try it the other way around, using KMP on the test environment to crosspost from the same blogs, everything works as expected, with only minor issues.

    I'm going to discuss the hosting setup with my client tomorrow, as it has already caused more problems than this alone (as more plugins depend on .htaccess rules), but will send you the logins if we stick with this setup and you consider this issue as within the scope of your support.

    Switching hosts took a little bit longer than I expected, but it solved the issue that garbled up the cross-posted posts. However, p tags are unfortunately still stripped, no matter if I check 'post as original' or not.

    When you post as original, there is nothing being modified, its just the same content, but what you see the <p> tags getting modified could be related to wordpress settings.
