Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Broadcast

Yes, works as normal with one exception: the meta box does not update after publishing, so you'll have to reload the page after publishing changes to see the new blogs list. Blacklist, whitelisting, force broadcast Broadcasting to specific blogs, hiding blogs and forcing blogs can be acheived with the User & Blog Settings add-on. Bulk broadcast existing pages To broadcast many posts at once, see the Send To Many add-on. Galleries and attachments

Attachments directly attached are stored. Attachments found in [gallery] shortcodes are stored. On the child blog, the existing attachments to the post, if any, are automatically deleted to keep attachments clean. This behavior can be configured using custom code or add-ons: Duplicate Attachments, Update Attachments. The stored attachments are copied. The thumbnail ID is replaced. The image URLs in the post content are replaced. The image IDs in [gallery] shortcodes are replaced. Do you have a lot of attachments that you don't want duplicated to hundreds of child blogs, in order to save space? You'll have to find a way to refer to the images statically instead of using their media IDs. The reason for this is that when Wordpress is referred to an attachment, it can only read the media IDs from the current blog. It cannot switch blogs in order to load the image. Hide broadcast from the users The broadcast meta box, menu and columns in the post view can be hidden from users / roles / blogs using the User & Blog Settings add-on. Incompatible plugins Below is a list of plugins that just will not work properly with Broadcast and / or its addons: Cloudflare Image Resizing - Creates 404 errors for images. Post Type Switcher - Turns post types into attachments and vice versa. Query Monitor causes the queue data to increase exponentially. Theia Smart Thumbnails Premium Tracking Code Manager - prevents User & Blog Settings from working by inserting data into the _POST variable during a normal page GET. Very non-standard behavior. WP Activity Log - kills Wordpress when taxonomies are about to be synced.

If you have already created posts on other blogs that are supposed to be children of a specific post, you can use the "find unlinked" bulk action to find and link them. If the existing posts are not linked, broadcasting a post can result in duplicates. To be considered an orphan the orphaned posts must have the exact same title (name) as the soon-to-be parent and be of the same post type. You can also use the Delete Before Broadcast add-on to delete any similar posts on the child blog before broadcasting. Timeout problems If you have many attachments in your post, and are broadcasting the post to many blogs, you might encounter a PHP timeout. This means that broadcasting exceeded the PHP time limit and had to be aborted. There are several solutions to this problem: Increase the PHP timeout in your PHP.ini settings. This will not speed up broadcasting, only increase your chances of completely broadcasting the post. Use the Duplicate Attachments add-on. This will duplicate any attachments + thumbnails instead of regenerating them on each child blog. Use the Queue add-on to put each child broadcast into a queue that is emptied by javascript. You will not need solution #1 if you use solutions #2 and #3. :)

Make sure that: Your user level has broadcast access (Broadcast access role) Your user has write access to more than this blog (see Admin settings > Maintenenace > View blog access). You can also use the All Blogs add-on to give yourself access to all blogs. The correct post type(s) have been selected in the Broadcast settings The User & Blog Settings add-on is not set to hide the meta box from the user / role / blog WooCommerce Broadcast is capable of handling simple WooCommerce products. In the Broadcast custom post type settings: Add "product". Save the product normally first. Then broadcast, selecting the custom fields and taxonomies checkboxes. This will broadcast all normal product settings: SKU, price, etc. If your products have variations, a product image gallery, you want to sync stock, you want to sync orders, need the attribute taxonomies to be synced, you'll be wanting the WooCommerce add-on.
