It would appear that if a post comes in via an RSS feed and is scheduled rather than posted immediately, when the post is finally done, it ignores the autopost value for the feed and autoposts regardless.

Expected Behavior: Scheduled posts should respect the autopost configuration as set in the RSS feed.
Hello,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding the social media 'AutoPost' setting in Feed Importer, this setting will only work during the posts importing process.

Also, just curious to know how you actually schedule the imported posts? If you've set the 'Publishing Status' to 'unpublished' and after the feed posts being imported and you again edit the imported posts and schedule the post, at this point of time, system will actually refer the autoposting setting from EasyBlog's global settings ( EasyBlog backend under AutoPosting)

Please advise.

Hope this help and have a nice day
Sam

From what I can tell, if a post is imported with a date in the future, it is scheduled instead of being posted.

I got a notification of a scheduled post and it was from the feed import. The date on the feed's post was, indeed, a day off.

Ah I see. Currently in EasyBlog, all the scheduled posts will actually follow the global Autoposting setting from your EasyBlog.

Anyway, I've logged this into our issue tracker and we will see if we can come up with a solution to override the autoposting setting if the scheduled posts are created via feed importer.

Thanks again

By the way, it is okay for you to share with us the feed url that you used to import the posts that has the 'future' date?
Please advise.

It was a single entry in NASA's image of the day.

One of the items in the feed had a date, as far as I can see, a few hours ahead of my server.

Hello,

Thanks for the rss feed link.

Regarding the above, after further check on the code, suppose the feed importer should store the GMT date into database so no matter the post item in the feed has a future date, when import into your server, it should follow your server date. Thats also mean, the post shouldn't have future date.

But again, we will check further regarding this matter.

Thanks again and have a nice day
