 * hi,

   or similar i found, reset my menu…done with categories…what’s wrong through categories
   and posts? what’s the connection? i don’t understand… why? is there a solution?

 * latest news:
    also tried with personal links for the nav menu and i don’t know
   why but this plugins treats the default navigation links as posts and it deletes
   the links from the menu!…maybe is the li id=”menu-item-NUMBER”…that it treats
   as post IDs ? How can avoid it? i’m using WordPress 3.0.1 with Mystique Theme
   from digitalnature, latest version… 2.4.2
 * thank you

 * I’ve no tested yet but try to replace current WHERE with something like
 *  WHERE (
    ( `post_status` = ‘published’ AND `post_type` = ‘post’ ) OR ( `post_status`
   = ‘publish’ AND `post_type` = ‘post’

 * sorry the labels
 *     ```
       WHERE (
                   (
                   <code>post_status</code> = 'published' AND <code>post_type</code> = 'post'
                   )
                   OR (

       ```

 * Thanks, this helped! The same query appears three times in plugin code, so fix
   should be applied 3 times.
 * WHERE (
    ( post_status = ‘published’ ) OR ( post_status = ‘publish’ ) ) AND post_type
   = ‘post’

 * Hi there,
 * [@nutesla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nutesla/)
    Thank you for asking
   this question. This has been driving me nuts also.
 * [@olegdudkin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olegdudkin/)
    Thank you for
   taking the time to answer. This has saved me a ton of time.
 * I am using the “Delete Duplicate Posts” plugin and had three places in the query
   to update. I updated with this version of the updates above:
 * WHERE (
    ( post_status = ‘published’ ) OR ( post_status = ‘publish’ ) ) AND post_type
   = ‘post’ )
 * Thanks again!

 * Yes I want to say thanks also. Without this I would have had to go for the premium
   plugin.
 * I would like to add a tip for everyone.
    If you add the plugin “WP Missed Schedule”,
   I think the cron will execute frequently instead of once a day.

 * Hiya everyone
 * Sorry about that. I have just released v. 2.2.2 with above updated code. I hope
   it fixes the problem, I have not had much time to test it.
