Bug report: “NEXT STORY” error when viewing the latest blog post

  • I update Hueman only a couple of times a year. I updated from version 3.7.4 to 3.7.20 a few weeks ago, and I have discovered a problem that was not present in 3.7.4:

    Hueman links to “NEXT STORY” and “PREVIOUS STORY” (with corresponding post title and link) at the end of each blog post and/or in the sidebar. But when viewing the latest blog post, “NEXT STORY” should not appear because there is no next story. This worked perfectly in 3.7.4. However, in 3.7.20 (and probably several earlier releases) “NEXT STORY” appears also on the most recent post, which means there is no title/link below “NEXT STORY”.

    It must be a bug. Perhaps it was introduced in 3.7.5 (March 2021) and related to this (from the changelog):
    * fixed : [Post Nav] “Next story” printed in the post title on Google news tab. fixes #953

    Example: See Hueman’s official demo site. Its most recent post is https://demo-hueman.presscustomizr.com/gabrielle-aplin-with-the-power-of-love/ , where the empty “NEXT STORY” problem appears.

    I already shared website link with you in this thread as well as by email (with screenshot) on 31 January this year.

    Just have a look at Hueman’s official demo site (latest post):
    https://demo-hueman.presscustomizr.com/gabrielle-aplin-with-the-power-of-love/

    The bug with empty “NEXT STORY” field/link affects the latest/most recent/newest blog post on your demo site as well as other user’s websites running Hueman. However, there is no point giving links here to specific blog posts on other user’s websites, because when they publish new posts, the empty “NEXT STORY” problem will not appear on that particular post, and I worry that you will not see the issue and ignore this bug.

    The bug always appears on the latest/most recent/newest blog post.

    Note: I updated from version 3.7.4 directly to 3.7.20, and that is when I saw the bug. But I think the problem could have been introduced earlier (possibly even in March 2021 with version 3.7.5). See details in my original explanation above.

    To theme author @nikeo:

    Half a year ago I reported this bug, which is easily visible on Hueman’s official demo site when viewing the latest/most recent/newest blog post.

    Can you please have a look at this post on your own site and acknowledge that you have logged the bug and aim to fix it?:

    Problem: The “NEXT STORY” navigation area appears on the most recent post, which means there is no title/link below “NEXT STORY”. The “NEXT STORY” navigation area should not be displayed at all in this case, because obviously there is no next post. This bug is present on all Hueman sites I have checked, including mine.

    The bug was introduced some time after Hueman 3.7.4 – please see details in previous posts. I have also written emails (with screenshots) to you/presscustomizr and described the bug in full detail.

    Hi. It’s currently in our backlog. It had reached the top of our list when the Safari update hit, which started causing people to not have their images / featured images displayed on certain browsers. That took priority in the Hueman queue. We pushed an update for this in late June.

    Currently we are working on two issues for the Hueman and Hueman pro themes. One of those is this issue. I can’t give you a time table on when it will be fixed, but it is on our radar. Thanks for the reminders.

    Thank you very much for the reply. Great to hear that you have logged it! (I had to ask again, since I never got a confirmation here, and Hueman’s GitHub page does not list this bug as one of the known issues.)

    I also hope you will be able to look into the problem with excessive font loading in Safari (with Hueman, the browser loads 11–12 font files every time!). Full details are in this thread.
