Auto select children of ancestor problem

Thank you for your feedback. I am not sure I understand the problem correctly.

When you create a new page without any parent, does that page then appear in a condition group of one of the three sidebars?

Hi, thanks for your response!

New parentless pages appears in the condition group of all three of the content aware sidebars that have “automatically select children of a selected ancestor” in the condition group. I have to go in and delete them manually.

I have some other sidebars , but don’t use “automatically select… ” on those. The new pages don’t appear on these.

I will look into that asap.

Can you tell me what other plugins you are using on your site?

And if you create a new page with a parent page that is not selected in one of the three sidebars, will that new page appear in the condition group as well?

I can confirm this bug with version 2.4.1 and WordPress 4b3, and it seems that it is only affecting hierarchical post types and not hierarchical taxonomies. This will be fixed in the next version.

If a new page has a different Parent page, it behaves properly.

I put together a list of the plugins and noticed there is another Sidebar plugin by WooThemes. This was installed as part of the Premium Theme (Salbii) we are using and doesn’t seem to have the full functionality of the actual plugin. It is not showing up under Appearance >> Widget Areas as it normally would.

I can do some testing by disabling that WooThemes plugin. I’m not sure how it is being used in the theme or what it will affect if I disable it, but our site is not live yet, so the right time to test.

Here is a full list of plugins. The ones with an asterisk were installed with the Premium Theme:

This issue has been fixed in version 2.4.2

Thank You!
