[Plugin: Editorial Calendar] Inherit message and double items

Thank you for using the Editorial Calendar. I’m sorry you’re having trouble with it.

Could you please give me a few more details about what is going on? A screen shot would help. Does every post appear several times? Can you include a screen shot? Do you have many other plugins installed?

Thanks,
Zack

np, I will wait till WordPress 3.2 is officially released and let you know if the problem still exists

running IE9, WP 3.2 RC4
here is the screenshot:

Thank you for the screen shot. I tried the calendar with WordPress 3.2-RC3 on IE9 and I’m not seeing any posts with the status inherit. Do you have any suggestions for how I can reproduce this? Do you have any other plugins installed? Is there anything special about the way you created the posts that have this status?

Thanks,
Zack

Hello Zack
I could give you an account so you can take a look

im running over 30 plugins
but none should interfere with the posts

you should have recieved an email by now with login data

Thank you for giving me access. I was able to log in, but I can’t see the calendar. You have to make me an author to see the calendar at all and an editor to see the posts you’ve added.

Thanks,
Zack

np just gimme half a minute

you got access

Thank you very much. I poked around a little and you do have many posts with the status inherit. That status is normally reserved for attachments. I’ve tried making many attachments on my test blog, but I haven’t been able to reproduce this issue.

Do you have any plugins that changed the behavior of attachments or do anything special with them?

Thanks,
Zack

I will mail you a list of the plugins I use

I wanted to echo this post and say I’m having this problem too.

I also have a ton of plugins, but I suspect the problem either relates to custom post types, custom taxonomies, or custom fields.

It was after I introduced these features that the Ed Calendar got all screwy.

I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the plugin. Can you give me a few more details about what “all screwy” means?

Thanks,
Zack

Hi Zack,

By all screwy I mean, I started seeing all the “inherit” posts, similar to the screenshot that Ramoonus shared.

I was in the process of converting a bunch of posts to the custom post type of review — I used the plugin Post Type Switcher to change the post type value.

As a result, I was touching dozens of posts to make simple updates. When I finished and looked at the Ed Calendar for my new post type, it was full of duplicate posts(reviews) that had the [inherit] text next to it. I can delete them manually but it is extremely laborous.

Those posts with the status “inherit” are attachments to other posts. Normally they don’t show up in the calendar because WordPress doesn’t return them unless you ask for them specifically. Do you have any other plugins that might be changing the visibility of posts?

Thanks,
Zack
