Trigger publish_post in XMLRPC API wp_newPost function

[k776]

Currently, the only action triggered when creating a post via the XMLRPC API is:

do_action( 'xmlrpc_call', 'wp.newPost' );

However, a lot of plugins depend on publish_post or wp_insert_post actions being triggered with the new post id.

What is the rationale behind not triggering these via API post creations as it seems like a bug/oversight?

Hi @k776, welcome to Trac!

wp_newPost() does call wp_insert_post()​ via _insert_post(), so all the standard hooks should apply.

I see, ok. I think what made me thing this was that it appears plugins are not operational in the XMLRPC API? As plugins don't seem to be running when adding via API, however they do when adding posts through the web interface.

Since it's unrelated to this ticket, I'll close this off and if you could take a look at this instead. You help is much appreciated. ​https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-operational-in-xmlrpc?replies=1#post-7366404
