Compatibility issue with “PublishPress Series Plugin”

    Hi there,

    After installing SSP I see that I already have a list of 11 “podcasts” in All Podcasts, each with numerous episodes.

    What’s happening is that SSP is treating all “Series” set up with the PublishPress Series Plugin?as additional Podcasts. I suspect this is because older versions of SSP used the term “series” for additional podcasts.

    The PublishPress Series Plugin?uses the same term, and uses the slug “series”. This plugin is for publishing articles (posts) in a series.

    Is there a way I can stop SSP from pulling in the “series” data from the PublishPress Series Plugin?

    I don’t need SSP to use the slug “series”. I changed the Podcasts slug in the SSP settings, but that hasn’t helped.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks very much.

    Jonathan

    It looks like the issue is that both plug-ins are using the custom taxonomy “series”. E.g., “taxonomy=series” is in the URL for editing both a Post Series (from the the Series plugin), and for editing a Podcast from your plug-in.
    This is also having the effect that now when I edit a (Post) Series, various fields, etc., from SSP are displaying, even though the URL has “post_type=post” and not “post_type=podcast” (which is what SSP uses).

    Hi @inspired888!

    Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

    Unfortunately, currently there is no quick way to change ‘series’ taxonomy to something else in the SSP plugin. I’ll add it to our ToDo list, and hope it will be possible in the nearest releases. I’ll update you as soon as this feature is available.

    Meanwhile, the only quick solution I can see is to manually search-replace all the ‘series’ strings in the plugin code to something else, for example ‘ssp_series’. If you use any IDE, it’s usually a quick bulk search-replace ( in PHPStorm, it’s Ctrl+Shift+R ). Of course, it’s a quick and dirty solution, and that string will be replaced back to ‘series’ when you update the plugin, but at least you’ll be able to use SSP now.

    Hope this helps,
    Sergiy, development team.
