Advanced Post Manager causing 'are you sure you want to do this' error?

Hi Richard. Please reference https://github.com/moderntribe/advanced-post-manager/blob/release/122/docs/documentation.md and all other documentation to make sure you’re doing things correctly. It should work fine regardless of how the custom post type is created.

Hi Clifford,

thanks for this. I’ve gone over the documentation, and I’m pretty certain that I’m implementing the filter properly.

It looks like this:

add_action('init', 'setup_cpt_filters');
    function setup_cpt_filters() {
        // globalize it so that we can call methods on the returned object
        global $my_cpt_filters;
        // We'll show you what goes in this later
        $filter_array = array(
          'esc_featured_on_homepage' => array(
              'name' => 'Featured on Homepage',
              'meta' => 'wpcf-feature-on-homepage'
          )
        );

        $my_cpt_filters = tribe_setup_apm('project', $filter_array );
    }

WIth this code in place, the NONCE on the project edit page seems to fail when I update / publish.

If I comment out

'esc_featured_on_homepage' => array(
    'name' => 'Featured on Homepage',
    'meta' => 'wpcf-feature-on-homepage'
    )

then the issue goes away. I can see that on update of my CPT, it adds &message=1 as it updates.

Any advice you can give me would be very much appreciated.

Howdy Richard,

Thanks for sharing the code. I appreciate you’re trying to narrow it down to one line.

I tried your code on my own custom post type and I am not seeing any issues. :-/ In an effort to make things as simple as possible I just copied the example Custom Post Type from the Codex. Here’s my full code:

add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
	register_post_type( 'acme_product',
		array(
			'labels' => array(
				'name' => __( 'Products' ),
				'singular_name' => __( 'Product' )
			),
			'public' => true,
			'has_archive' => true,
		)
	);
}

add_action('init', 'setup_cpt_filters');
function setup_cpt_filters() {
	// globalize it so that we can call methods on the returned object
	global $my_cpt_filters;
	// We'll show you what goes in this later
	$filter_array = array(
		'esc_featured_on_homepage' => array(
			'name' => 'Featured on Homepage',
			'meta' => 'wpcf-feature-on-homepage'
		)
	);

	$my_cpt_filters = tribe_setup_apm('acme_product', $filter_array );
}

When I update or post something to my Custom Post Type there are no errors shown, the nonce appears to work as expected.

This might be a conflict with the toolset plugin. Perhaps it has its own actions or hooks that are not playing well with APM ? I don’t have a license to that plugin so I can’t test it.

To narrow it down a bit have you tried doing a conflict test? Obviously you can’t disable WP Toolset or APM just yet, but have you tried disabling everything else and switching to a default theme? Does the issue persist? If so, what happens if you disable WP Toolset and try the above code?

Thanks again Richard for your thoroughness in providing info. Cheers!
