Fatal error trying to use automated posting

Hi,

I've set up PhotoQ 1.6.5 on my blog (WP 2.7 - http://www.adammurphy.com). The functionality seems fine - can batch upload and manually post no problem. My server doesn't support cronjobs, and what I really need this for is automated posting. However, when I try using the hack mentioned on your blog:

<?php /* Short and sweet */ define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); ob_start(); require('./wimpq-cronpost.php'); ob_end_clean(); require('./wp-blog-header.php'); ?>

I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /mnt/w0702/d14/s21/b00de730/www/wimpq-cronpost.php on line 9

I feel like there is something very basic that I have missed, but I can't figure it out as everything else seems to be working ok. Any thoughts?

Many thanks,

Adam.

hi adam,

i just checked and the above hack still seems to work.

how does your wimpq_cronpost file look like? i.e. did you copy over the one from the last update? because this file changed back in PhotoQ 1.6.1 and if you do automatic updates the copy in the wordpress root folder does not get updated automatically.

Hi Manu,

thanks for getting back to me. PhotoQ 1.6.5 was the first install. The wimpq_cronpost file is as follows:
```
<?php

//photoq only loads in admin section
define('WP_ADMIN', true);

require_once('wp-load.php');

//call cronjob function of photoq plugin
$photoq->cronjob();

?>
```
I tried updating to 1.6.6 and copied the wimpq_cronpost file over again - no change. (No change to the PhotoQ error, I now get the following error when trying to make changes in the Theme Editor:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /mnt/w0702/d14/s21/b00de730/www/wp-content/themes/adam/functions.php:25) in /mnt/w0702/d14/s21/b00de730/www/wp-admin/theme-editor.php on line 70

btw - ignore that last error about header info - unrelated problem. Serves me right for trying to do too much at the same time.

cheers :-)

adam,

do you have any other plugins running? if so, could you disable them and try again such that we can rule out any possible plugin incompatibilities?

Hi Manu,

I have a whole bunch of other plugins running - deactivated them all. Still get the same error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /mnt/w0702/d14/s21/b00de730/www/wimpq-cronpost.php on line 9

any chance you could setup a fresh wordpress install on the same server for testing and send me a login via email?
