Agree. It crashes our site. Have it active and the front-end becomes the “white screen of death”, empty. Deactivate it and the site works again.
Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, me too, I think this is a bug.
I thought this was the place to report bugs.
I have now created a github report here:
I could perhaps clarify that this workflow may seem strange but is quite logical and straight-forward (and the way you need to do it) if you prepare several posts/articles in advance and then post one per day:
Day 0: prepare and save as drafts a number of articles for later publication, in both languages
Day 1 and 1+N: Publish one of the pre-prepared articles every day. (Each day you have to re-save as draft in order to get the correct publishing date).
Just wondering if there’s been some progress on this. The bug is still there.
Hi Maybellyne,
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear you’re working on it (some time soon). It must be due to a pretty recent change in either of the plugins. (Not more than a few weeks old.)
There is a pretty simple “workaround”: Once you have published the post, then you immediately go back in to “edit post” mode and change the permalink to what you want it to be. If you do it then, the name-changes sticks.
And the it is also good to do some cleanup in the superfluous redirects that have been created, as mentioned in the previous comment.
One additional detail:
If the plugin “redirect” is active, a redirect is created from “newpermalink” to “newpost” at step #2/#3 in the previous description. This is doubly strange since there is no published post at that stage.
(However, the issue is still there if the “redirect” plugin is not active, so it is not due to the “redirect” plugin.)

In reply to: [Post Views Counter] Show view count on custom post types listing pageNot sure I understand what you mean with “if you enter single post for that “recensioner” CPT”. The post published as “recension” are the custom post type. You mean that I should change the post type to standard single post for an existing CPT post instead of the custom post type? Is that possible? How would I do that?
(I do have standard single posts and they have the post count in a column.)

In reply to: [Post Views Counter] Show view count on custom post types listing pageIn my case, the view count shows on the front-end for the custom post types. As you can see on this: https://postimg.cc/bddvrz4g
However, in the admin back-end, there is no column for view count on the custom post type (“recensioner” is the name of the custom post type). As you can see here: https://postimg.cc/BL9d0CWR
(On the standard posts, however, there is such a column: https://postimg.cc/8jXkVxZ3)
Any idea what the issue might be or how to fix it?

In reply to: [Post Views Counter] Show view count on custom post types listing pageI’ve created the custom post type with the plugin CPT-UI (Custom Post Type UI). You think that could be the reason? I think that’s the most commonly used way to create custom post types.
Hi Tobias,
Yes, that sounds like exactly what happens. The tables are between around 10 and 100 lines long. I did some experiments, searching for words that I know are NOT in any table. When I do that, the search works fine. But if I search for something that IS in some of the tables (or even many), say “bordeaux”, then I get a 502 timeout. So it seems likely that it is the double search and the computation to do the matching that causes the problem.
I guess the only way around that is to use some external search tool that scans the front-end pages instead.
Wow – that plugin to disable the search integration was fantastic. Simple and works perfectly. I’ve tested on on our Dev site without any problem so I’ll enable it on our live site soon. Thank you!!
Ouch, I tried to post a comment but it seems it got lost. I’ll try again:
I have added that line and it seems to work.
However, it appears it only works if it is in the main theme, not in a child theme. Is that what you’d expect?
It would be unfortunate since it means it will disappear when the theme is updated. (The site is an Elementor site and the theme is the bare-bone Hello Elementor, no customisations.)
I created the child theme with “Child Theme Configurator” and edited the files with “WP File Manager” (two new plugins). (I am not particularly familiar with WP code or php, so I’m just following instructions.) But when I put the line of code in this child theme it had no effect.
On a more general level, I find it a bit curious that we have this issue but apparently not many others. I wouldn’t have thought that our site was particularly exceptional. Yes, we have quite a few tables ~1,000 (adding a handful every month) but is that really so extraordinary? But we have 10,000+ regular posts and WordPress Search handles that without a problem. Is this a behaviour that you’d expect?
Actually, it’s not the same. At that time, it was an issue that affected the front-end search. I actually did not use the fix you suggested but instead changed to front-end search to a link to google site search (not ideal, I admit, but simpler for someone who’s not too comfortable with code).
I’ll try what you suggest this time, unless WPEngine has some other suggestions.
Many thanks for your very rapid feedback!

In reply to: [Yoast Duplicate Post] Save as draft does not work on cloned post (Elementor)I wonder if there is some incompatibility between YDP and Elementor?
This error happened again.
1 – I duplicated a post
2 – I edited the new post
3 – I saved as draft and exited the Elementor edit page. I checked the preview.
4 – I went into the Elementor editor and continued editing.
Repeated 3 and 4 several times, saving several times as I go, mindful of the previous problem and having lost several hours work due to losing the edits (as described earlier).
5 – And then, suddenly, when I exit Elementor edit one final time, again all edits that I have done over the last few hours of both text and images are GONE. The post is back to the contents that the original post contents. Once more, all is lost. In spite of the fact that I have saved, exited, verified, and reopened edit several times.This seems to me to point to that maybe YDP does not work with Elementor. Maybe it works most of the time but sometimes not. Sometimes it just decides to go and pick up the old (original) post contents and discard all edits. Maybe something to do with that Elementor stores post contents differently than “standard” WordPress posts?
I do not dare using Yoast Duplicate Post with Elementor again. Too much time is lost.

In reply to: [Yoast Duplicate Post] Save as draft does not work on cloned post (Elementor)This seems to be one of those tricky ones that are not entirely reproducible.
You do describe the issue with your steps 1)-4) correctly. That’s what I mean. With the addition of 5) when I go back into editing the post, the edits previously made are gone.
The post I have trouble with was created by using Yoast Duplicate Post (YDP). After creating the copy I try and edit it and save as draft. However, nothing is saved. It looks okay when saving, but when I exit the post and then reopen it, the edits are gone.
This happens with all plugins deactivated (including YDP deactivated), with the exception of Elementor (& E-Pro) and Classic Editor. Save as draft does not work, the post just reverts to the state before the edits if one exits and then edit again.
I have done several tests, duplicating other posts and then editing and saving as draft. So, here’s where it gets complicated: In most cases this worked fine. Most posts created with YDP could be edited and saved as draft. But occasionally the same thing happens, saving as draft does not work.
