Title: Plugin Conflict with Custom Permalink Plugin Last modified: May 5, 2021 --- # Plugin Conflict with Custom Permalink Plugin * [sfree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sfree/) * (@sfree) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-with-custom-permalink-plugin/) * I’m using your plugin with [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/) and there appears to be a conflict. * I installed your plugin and got the API keys all working. Everything is working great. * I then setup a rule to add an entry to a google sheet each time an article is published or modified. * This was working great but, I then found I got a 404 error on the articles modified or the new articles. * I tracked the problem to the “Custom Permalinks” Plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/)). The plugin keeps track of each permalink created and your plugin was creating four (4) entries for each article created/modified thus breaking the article. * I realize you cannot support ALL plugins out there however, I’m guessing this behavior is unexpected. * Thanks! * ps… * FEATURE REQUEST — If you can get the above fixed, it would be great if you could also allow us to capture: * 1 – User who created new post 2 – User who Modified Post * With 5 or 6 authors on my site, it would be great if I knew which one of them were modifying articles. * Thnx! - This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [sfree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sfree/).

A few days ago one of my clients creates a support ticket regarding this topic. I thoroughly examine this issue then. As you know most of the Plugin save operational lifecycle data to the database especially on the post table with a custom post type. It’s a common practice, if you see on the Post table you can see the most common plugins with Millions of downloads do this too. Advanced Custom Fields, WPform, wooCommerce, also save data this way. all wooCommerce Products and Orders are also saved in a post table as a custom post type. This is a complex plugin and the first Plugin that uses “Google service account”. Previously, large web platforms used this technology. Also a large codebase, around 20,000 lines of code. we keep the log for error handling, the last 100 logs saved in the Post table as custom post type “wpgsi_log”. “Custom Permalinks Plugin” should have an option to Stop creating Permalinks for those custom post types or a Special way to choose the Post types. As you can see we are doing common practice. Do you have any suggestions for us? * thank you & best regard * Thread Starter [sfree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sfree/) * (@sfree) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-with-custom-permalink-plugin/#post-14405639) * Yes – I see this now also. The problem it seems is your logs are being saved and the permalink is the same for a published post. This is where the conflict is. * Unfortunately, there are no options in the “Custom Permalinks” plugin to have it ignore the post type “wpgsi_log” and I’m not a developer so I can’t mod the plugin to ignore the post type. * Perhaps if you added a feature to disable logging, that might be a workaround? * I don’t know how many sites are using both plugins at the same time so perhaps this is a unique issue. Unfortunately, it’s not unique for me. 🙂 * Any other way to either log the info somewhere else/another way or, disable logging? * Plugin Author [javmah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/javmah/) * (@javmah) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-with-custom-permalink-plugin/#post-14417475) * I saw “Custom Permalinks” plugin documentation they had an Option (Programmatically) to stop creating Permalinks on certain Post types. thank you & best regards.
