Title: Reposts upon post edit Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Reposts upon post edit * Resolved [Erlend](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadr/) * (@sadr) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/) * I just made a new post that creates a new bbPress thread for comments. Every time I make an edit to the post it creates another bbPress thread, like /newthread- 2 and /newthread-3. * Using latest version of WordPress, bbPress and this plugin. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [Erlend](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadr/) * (@sadr) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/#post-3540656) * Has no one else experienced this? * [David Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddean/) * (@ddean) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/#post-3540658) * Hi, Erlend – * No one has reported anything like that in a while, then you and bennygill did about a month ago. I haven’t been able to reproduce the problem, though. * Can you provide any details about your publishing workflow? Are you using an external program to publish / edit? Are there any other workflow plugins involved? * These would all be helpful for narrowing down the source of the trouble. * Thanks for reporting this and please let me know if you run into anything else! * – David * Thread Starter [Erlend](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadr/) * (@sadr) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/#post-3540661) * I experienced it again on my site today. The annoying thing is I can’t for the life of me reproduce it. I tried retracing my steps down to the last tag submitted, but I can’t make this bug appear when I want it to! * All I know is, the bug will occur when for some reason, you’re stuck at “Create a new topic in forum” even after you’ve published and/or updated your post, like this: [http://i.imgur.com/HllnqAe.png](http://i.imgur.com/HllnqAe.png) * Whenever it’s working right, after publishing the slug of the auto-created topic has been automatically added to the “use existing topic” slot and the other option is set to “Select a forum”. * Thread Starter [Erlend](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadr/) * (@sadr) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/#post-3540677) * I managed to consistently reproduce it! Here ya go: [http://www.screenr.com/y2y7](http://www.screenr.com/y2y7)( you can just mute the static. I forgot to turn audio recording off). * To be exact, it’s the “Use default display settings” being unchecked upon saving draft that does it. If you don’t have that checked when you save a draft, the entire “Use a bbPress forum topic for comments on this post.” will automatically be unchecked upon saving the draft. * [David Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddean/) * (@ddean) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/#post-3540679) * Hi Erlend, * Nice! Thanks for going to the trouble of figuring out how to reproduce it. I’ll take a look and hopefully have a fix out in the next couple days. The issue of needing to uncheck “Use default display settings” in order to keep the overall settings active is a problem, too, but not as bad as duplicate topics. * I’ll keep this topic updated as fixes are checked in to the development version and once a new release is out! * – David * [David Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddean/) * (@ddean) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/#post-3540680) * It looks like draft settings are not being deleted when they’re supposed to. The good news is that affected posts will stop creating duplicate topics once you’re running the next release. * The fix has been added to the development version if anyone wants to try it out. A full release will be out soon. * [David Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddean/) * (@ddean) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reposts-upon-post-edit/#post-3540681) * This is fixed in 1.7. Please let me know if you run into anything else!
