Settings keep being lost
-
I select the settings/options that I want for the wp-Typography plugin … come back a while later and all boxes are unchecked/blank and settings lost. Set them again … repeat … over and over. The plugin will NOT retain the settings for some reason. Any ideas?
-
Are you, by any chance, using wp-Typography 3.0.0? If so, please update to any of the later versions as the bug you describe has been fixed from 3.0.1 onward.
No, I was not. But I see the plugin was updated today, and this resolved the issue – although with some sites I still had to deactivate and then re-activate the plugin AFTER update, in order for the changes to take effect.
Good to hear that it works for you now. However, I’d still like to investigate the cause for this behavior.
Could you describe the original scenario in a bit more detail for me? Did you have another version of wp-Typography installed before? What version of WordPress are you using? Where settings/checkboxes all empty or were they set to the default values?
If, by any chance, you have got one misbehaving site left, I’d like you to look at the
typo*options in/wp-admin/options.php.Thanks very much for the prompt and interested attention. Unfortunately I don’t have any sites that I haven’t now updated. I was, in any event, using the current version immediately prior to the update.
However … I have pasted the wp-admin/options.php typo* info (below), BECAUSE I am now experiencing another issue that I can’t determine the cause of and wondering if some how, some way – in any way, shape or form – could wp-typography have altered any code in a way that would result in the latest issue I am having, which is that I can no longer edit posts. The sites function, and the backend/admin functions EXCEPT for the edit post page (on all sites). Whether viewed in Chrome or Edge, local plugins on or off; I have one-by-one turned all WP plugins off, and then back on, with no resolution of the issue. I have cleared caches, paused CloudFlare and put it into development mode, and done everything else that I could think of, including adding CloudFlare rules to ignore the admin. I don’t know why just this single page (post edit) would be a problem, but it is a critical page, of course.
**I tried to find/copy anything associated with “typo” from the wp-admin/options.php file but there is none – I used the Notepad++ search function and visually reviewed the file – line by line – to determine that, indeed, there is no instance of the term ‘typo’ and nothing in the file that would appear to be associated with the plugin.
Sorry if I have been unclear. Please enter
https://<yourdomain>/wp-admin/options.phpinto the address bar of your browser and look for options that start with “typo”. The _file_/wp-admin/options.phpwill not contain any reference to wp-Typography.As for the post editing problem – sorry, no, I don’t think wp-Typography has got anything to do with that. The plugin works solely as a frontend filter. It does not hook into the backend at all (appart from its settings page) and it does not store any content in the database.
There are 298 entries with “typo” in the title, including about 50 that are clearly settings for the plugin, and then numerous entries starting with _transient_timeout_typo_+*****
Is there a particular entry, as it will take quite a while to copy/paste everything.
You can ignore the transients, they are just for caching the processed results. Are the settings all in the form
typo_hyphenate_title_capsor are there some that look more liketypoHyphenateTitleCaps?I see that, among other things, there are a variety of typo_hyphenate entries, including a few for my sidebar widgets that I prob need to configure it to ignore.
Could you email me privately? It would likely be easier for me to create a temp admin acct through which you can directly view the settings.
