I guess there was a clash with an existing plugin. I stripped everything out and got WP glossary working. I’ll try it on my main site soon
Let me know if it turns out to be an error with wp-glossary plugin (rather than with the other). In a perfect world, the two should be able to live together?
Experiencing a similar issue.
My glossary page containing the [glossary_term_list] shortcode has it’s permalink modified.
In my example:
I label the page ‘glossary of terms’.
My permalink is glossary-of-terms
I add my SEO information, keyword, meta description, title, etc.
I publish.
–
Result:
SEO data is gone.
Permalink still in place
I make corrections & edits to the page and update
–
Result:
Permalink is transforemd
from ‘/glossary-of-terms’ to ‘/term1-#’ where the # is the # of created pages that have the glossary short code)’, in this case #4, i.e. ‘/term1-4’
Thoughts?
I’ve found this occurs on any page where I’m using [glossary] shortcodes.
The permalink changes and the SEO settings are voided when within the post content I use the plugin referencing feature.
[glossary term=’term’] terms [/glossary]
This changes the permalink to /’term-#’ where the # is the next available page with that name.
hi, i’ve been using wp-glossary and when used with other plugins like slideshows that use the # too in the link creation it kinda conflicts with them.
so i asked a buddy to help out and he came up with a solution, by changing the wp-glossary.js file like this:
before
line 39: if( myAlpha.length )
after:
line 39: if( myAlpha && myAlpha.length )
so far it’s still functional and there’s no more conflicts.
The A to Z list of my glossary terms displays correctly, but when I click on a term, I get the 404 Not Found error message: “You tried going to …, and it doesn’t exist. All is not lost! You can search for what you’re looking for.”
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
