Pingbacks sent from wrong URI for posts first published in advanced editing mode

[mdawaffe]

Publishing a post from advanced editing mode will, if it is the first time the post has been published, send pingbacks from non-permalinked URIs:
​http://example.com/?p=204 rather than ​http://example.com/a-post/

In 1.5.1, draft posts are not given a permalink GUID since the post slug is not set on a draft post. Instead, a query string GUID is used. Once pubilshed, the GUID should be updated so that a proper permalink-style GUID is used. The GUID life cycle should be similar to the post slug lifecycle. Leave the GUID blank for draft posts. Set the GUID once published.

This issue persists in 1.5.1.1

The cause of this problem is the cache mechanism used in get_post(). I created the ​FixBack WordPress plugin to fix this problem, but of course a core change would be more elegant. See ​WordPress pingback and trackback bug for full details.

Patch for /branches/1.5/

[markjaquith]

I've been sitting on this patch (was posted to wp-hackers). Really sorry that I didn't get it uploaded in time for 1.5.2! Anyway, let's be sure to get it into the next 1.5 branch release.

Can we move this code into functions? Perhaps clean_post_cache() and clean_page_cache() which take a post/page ID as an argument. Call these whenever we update a post/page.

(In [2873]) Add clean_post_cache() and clean_page_cache(). Reset GUID when transitioning from draft to publish. fixes #1257
