Broadcasted Post has different parent

    Hi,
    I have a page as a child page which is broadcasted to another site (site 2) in a multisite network.
    This Broadcasted page shows up in site 2 and can be set as a child page which is fine.

    When this broadcasted page is modified, the page detaches from its parent page in site 2 and needs to be reassigned to its intended parent page.

    Is there something that I am missing that helps to stop this behaviour?
    Many thanks

    If the child’s “parent” page (in the hierarchy) also is broadcasted, then it should retain the correct hierarchy position.

    Broadcasting will lose the hierarchy position if (1) the page above is not broadcasted and linked or (2) you assign a different page on the child blog.

    How do things look on your end?

    Ah I see.

    This is the page structure…
    patients/patient-1

    patient-1 is the broadcasted page and is a child of patients

    On site 2
    locations/patient-1

    If patient-1 is modified it looks like this on site 2

    patient-1

    So basically we can’t put a broadcasted page under a different parent page. We need to keep a matching hierachy?

    Thanks

    The hierarchy needs to match AND be broadcasted, yes.

    Although, there are two possible alternatives:
    1. Write some PHP code that restores the parent page after broadcasting (updating) the child.
    2. Use the Protect Child Properties add-on that does just that. There is a setting that protects the parent page ID from being overwritten during broadcasting.

    OK will look into all that, thanks for your help.

    Cheers.
