Does co-authors plus fire its own HTTP request to store coauthors?

[scottfennell-toptal]

I have written a plugin that synchs blog posts from one blog to another as they are published/updated/deleted.

It uses php to hook into save_post. I noticed recently that it is no longer catching updates to co-author assignments, because it seems like co-authors sends its own HTTP request to store coauthors, long after save_post has come and gone.

This is a nuisance for me because now I have to hook in twice (now using wp_set_object_terms) to capture all post changes, roughly doubling my network activity.

This behavior from co-authors is counter-intuitive. The post should be done saving ... when save_post is done.

Should I be doing something different or thinking about this differently somehow?

We have the same problem where we sync posts to a different database and need to have the data complete.
My PR doesn't solve the underlying problem you observed, but adding a new action at least helps to narrow down where to hook.
We have a patched version like this running for quite some time, which works a charm.
I hope it also helps you if the PR gets merged!
