Title: WP Scheduled Posts causes wrong sample-permalink Last modified: December 5, 2018 --- # WP Scheduled Posts causes wrong sample-permalink * Resolved [kohashi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kohashi/) * (@kohashi) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-scheduled-posts-causes-wrong-sample-permalink/) * I ran into a strange bug where WP Scheduled Posts is causing new posts to automatically generate the wrong permalink when you create them. * This happens when you create a new post and enter a title, it hits admin-ajax. php with action: sample-permalink and passes in the title. * The problem is the output it receives for the permalink is the furthest in the future scheduled post permalink (with a number eg. post-title-2). * I was able to reproduce this on 4 different installs. Rolling back to version 1.4.4 removed this issue, it was something introduced in version 2. * You can update the permalink manually hitting the admin-ajax (using edit button) and that works fine. But when it first generates a permalink, it’s passing the proper data and somewhere along the way it’s getting corrupted by this plugin and returning the wrong data.

The permalink issue is going to get fixed in the next update. * Sorry for the inconvenience. * Plugin Author [Rafin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafinkhan/) * (@rafinkhan) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-scheduled-posts-causes-wrong-sample-permalink/#post-10964132) * [@mommysplurge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommysplurge/), * I was unable to reproduce the “excerpt” overriding issue though. Can you please give me more details so that we can investigate this further? * Regarding rolling back to the previous version, you can do this from this link: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-scheduled-posts/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-scheduled-posts/advanced/) * Just go to the bottom of the page “Previous Versions” and use the drop-down to select your preferred version and click on “Download”. * We will update a new and fixed version soon. * Thank you. * [Brandy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommysplurge/) * (@mommysplurge) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-scheduled-posts-causes-wrong-sample-permalink/#post-10965129) * [@rafinkhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafinkhan/) i think that took care of the excerpt override issue, i have to have something new today to publish to be sure (we’re scheduled out way in advance!). * a few things though which makes this very difficult 1 – the publish immediately checkbox is missing! 2 – i have instead a “or Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 9:01 am” checkbox. it’s currently sunday 9:28am. the timezone shown in the plugin is proper. i don’t even know what this checkbox DOES. 2.5 – when i go back into the manage schedule page after turning manual schedule to green it’s back to red. oh haha you need to move your save all changes button, it’s way too far down the page. * ALSO 3 – i noticed this previously – some of the times in the dropdown are WRONG. checking in posts shows the correct time. occasionally they’re an hour off. 4– did you get my message about the drag & drop calendar? very large sites need one that isn’t dynamic. literally nothing on the calendar loads, query too big i think. 5 – the manual times don’t sort chronologically. 6 – sorta trivial because you don’t go in there to change it often, i wish the day dropdown stayed the same on manual scheduler 7 – if there was a clone day i would have used it and saved lots of time (we are probably unusual, we have 13 set slots a day plus 10-20 more posts so…) 8 – i would love to save a schedule as a weekly schedule and be able to swap them out! 9 – i would love to connect a schedule slot to a certain post category - This reply was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by [Brandy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommysplurge/). * [Brandy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommysplurge/) * (@mommysplurge) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-scheduled-posts-causes-wrong-sample-permalink/#post-10965148) * Oh one more thing – I see that you took the opposite approach from the “publish scheduler” plugin, where you have to check the box to get it on the schedule. I would personally really like to see the opposite approach, where you have to override the manual scheduler in order to publish immediately. Or at least have it be an option. When the site “catches” the posts and schedules them, that means I can edit on the go with the wp app, press publish, and be done with it, because they’re scheduled according the schedule that I have set. If I’m going to have a manual schedule, I’m not sure why that wouldn’t be the default. * [Brandy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommysplurge/) * (@mommysplurge) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-scheduled-posts-causes-wrong-sample-permalink/#post-10965165) * oh one more thing, sorry! the plugin doesn’t check to see if posts are already scheduled in the time slot. I opened a post shortly before 10am to schedule it, and it wanted me to schedule it for 10, and we have a post scheduled at that time. Also, now that it’s after 10am, I refreshed, and it still wants me to schedule it for 10. * Plugin Author [Rafin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafinkhan/) * (@rafinkhan) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-scheduled-posts-causes-wrong-sample-permalink/#post-10966990) * [@mommysplurge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommysplurge/), * Thank you for mentioning all the these to us. Our team is already working on to make drastic changes with more improvements. * I have noted down your suggestions as well. We really appreciate it. * We are looking to constantly upgrade with future releases. * Thank you. * [Brandy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommysplurge/) * (@mommysplurge) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-scheduled-posts-causes-wrong-sample-permalink/#post-10966998) * [@rafinkhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafinkhan/) awesome! i’m really excited!
