Hello @yousrialgharawy,
it is planned to test the plugin in the new WordPress 5.5 version as we do with all new versions in the next days/weeks.
Are you experiencing any specific problem you would like to report here?
Is there any error you are getting on 5.5 or any unexpected behavior to report?
Thank you.
Thanks so much,
No, there is no issues as yet or any other unexpected behavior.
Hi,
Sorry for inconvenience, I experienced an error since long that it doesn’t work with duplicated titles with 1, 2, 3 in urls.
For example like (with Latin letters):
https://xxxx.com/try-longer-permalink-plugin-with-the-version-try-longer-permalink-plugin-with-the-version/
It becomes like that:
https://xxxx.com/try-longer-permalink-plugin-wit-2/
https://xxxx.com/try-longer-permalink-plugin-wit-3/
https://xxxx.com/try-longer-permalink-plugin-wit-4/
Also, Please do the compatibility 5.5 test as i can’t update to wordpress 5.5 unless i be sure that longer permalink plugin works fine.
Hi again,
what you describe here is like the longer permalinks are not activated.
Is this happening to you on a 5.5 brand new installation? Or after updating from 5.4?
Thank you.
Hi,
Yes, it looks like if it isn’t activated for duplicated titles only, but for unique titles it seems great.
I’ve noticed this since i’ve add it to my blog (one years ago) approximately with wordpress 4.0.0, and ater that.
Hi,
can you please describe how you produce those duplicates? The process you follow.
Thank you.
Hi,
It just occurs when adding a post with a title identical to an older one.
Thank you.
Thank you.
If you edit the duplicate post and manually change the Permalink “URL Slug” to a really long one, does it work as you expect it to?
Best regards.
I already tried this but whenever i manually change the Permalink “URL Slug” to a long one it return short again once i press the button “update” with a number 2 or 3…. according to the number of duplicated post.
Hi @yousrialgharawy,
I have managed to replicate the behavior you describe on posts duplication.
Technically this is happening because of some extra hardcoded 200 chars limitations in WordPress core. Actually this is from function wp_unique_post_slug() defined in wp-includes/post.php file, where in case of a duplicate title WP tries to generate a unique title there and has again 200 chars limitations hardcoded in the source code.
I have a possible idea/solution on how to also overcome this one, but it is not an easy one to apply, so it goes first in the feature requests now for a future release.
By the way plugin is tested on latest WP version as of today and works without any problems in our installations.
Thank you.
