I can't easily isolate which plugin is doing this, or whether it's standard in WP3.3.1. (It would be spammy to test it.) After a new blog post, I automatically tweet "new blog post:" with the link. I want to stop that but can't work out where to do it. None of my plugins have an obvious setting to enable or disable this.

The obvious related plugins are:

  • Really Simple Twitter Feed Widget | Version 1.3.4 | By WhileTrue
  • Subscription Options | Version 0.8.9 | By Tom Saunter Jetpack by
  • WordPress.com | Version 1.2.2 | By Automattic

Any suggestions?

Disable all plugins, re-enable them step by step. I would start with anything having Twitter in its name … and then ask the plugin author. – toscho♦ Feb 8 '12 at 3:01

I agree that it would be a plugin, and short of disabling your plugins and making many posts, this is what I would do.

I would do a search on all my plugin files, assuming you have FTP access and a program similar to Netbeans or Eclipse, for add_action('publish_post' and that will come up with all the plugins that do something on the publication of the new post. The next bit on that function , 'func_name'); is the function that is executed, typically found right after or before the add_action tag.

I would be looking for a function that mentioned twitter, obviously, especially something that had twitter and api in it. I would rem them out by adding // before the add_action line and make a post after saving and uploading the file. If it isn't that delete the // and move to the next result.
