***EMERGANCY *** Cloned post relationship issue

    There are two massive issues with this plugin having cloned posts tied to the original that are causing MASSIVE problems for us.

    1: When cloning a new post the original post will start showing the cloned post’s content until the cloned post is published. This means the entire time an editor is updating a cloned article the original will be displaying the wrong content. Example work flow. A post with the title “Hello World” to create a new post with the title “Goodbye World.” Once the “Hello World” post is cloned, and edits are made to the clone to change the title to “Goodbye World” the original “Hello World” post will be showing the updates until the editor finishes publishing the clone.

    2: When a cloned copy of a post is deleted, the URL (which should now be a 404) redirects to the source post that the deleted post was cloned from. For example: mysite.com/post1 is cloned to create mysite.com/post2. The second post is later deleted, and the url mysite.com/post2 now redirects to mysite.com/post1

    This bug makes removing content impossible, and is currently causing us MASSIV legal compliance issues as we are not able to remove an article so it directs to a 404 page.

    I understand that fixing these extremely serious bugs will take time, but I’m hoping you have a workaround that we can perform on our end to get a cloned article to go away without turning into a redirect. This has put us in a very bad situation.

    Thanks,

    This is still an emergency. Been 5 days. Really hoping to hear back.

    Still extremely urgent. Hoping this plugin has not been abandoned by the developer at this point.

    Please help.

    3 weeks since this emergency issue was posted, 1 week since I last reached out. Still worried, still an extremely serious issue. I’m not seeing any other way to reach out to the developers, so this seems to be my only hope. Very disappointed.

    5 weeks now. Please support this plugin.

    Hi,

    Did you try to delete and reintall this plugin? Maybe you have a compability issue with another plugin so we can also try and see if by deactivating plugibns one by one, the issue disappears.

    If not, there are alternatives to this plyugin for duplications…

    Disclaimer:
    I’m not the plugin developer but seeing this I wanted to help.
