Course sections are not completely deleted

    Hello again,

    Using the latest versions of WordPress and Masteriyo, I installed the eLearning theme and its demo content. I deleted all demo courses and course categories except for “Photography” (both the course and the category remain). Then, I added a 4-question quiz under “Introduction” in this course just to test the question types. After that, I deleted all sections and their content except for the “Introduction” section and the new quiz in it. To summarize, there is only one title (“Introduction”) and one quiz (“Test”) in this course. I did not change course settings.

    When I go to the course – as a logged-in user or as a guest – I can see the titles of deleted content (Experiment & Experiment, etc.) in the navigation panel above the footer and when I click the link, the content is still there. When I check the database, all these posts still exist. The number of lessons is also given as 5 on the course introduction page although there is only one quiz.

    While I was emptying the contents of the course, in the “Introduction” section, I started deleting individual lessons one by one. Then, I wanted to see whether deleting the section would delete the lessons under this section as well. I started deleting sections; when I did this, the lessons under them also disappeared. But, they were not deleted from the database. When I compare the content with the original content of the same course on the demo site at masteriyo.com, I can confirm this. Lessons under “Important Actions” still remain in my website even though the section title is gone and even though these lessons do not appear when I edit the course. I believe this is bug that should be checked.

    Hi @hakangur,

    I just made the test following your steps exactly.

    I deleted the section Important Actions at once (meaning deleting the section).
    I deleted the section Quiz with first deleting lessons individually and then that very section Quiz.

    However, my results were different, thought I deleted the section at once or lesson by lesson, all are not showing in learning page as expected. I checked both being a logged-in student & guest and none of the deleted content was showing.

    Having said all this, if you encountered this issue there might be a chance there is some hidden issue which I could not replicate or did not replicate in my case for some reason. I will ask one of my teammates to test this deeper and check the codes as well. I will keep you updated with our results.

    Thanks a lot. In addition, if it is required, I can add you or one of your colleagues as an administrator to the website and send you credentials through email.

    I see that this issue has been addressed in the 1.3.10 version released an hour ago. Thanks a lot for the amazingly fast response.

    Well, I mostly look at user experience with plugin and support area. I had just passed this to our development like 24 hours ago and they have already fixed it in this update which frankly I was also not aware of. So, yes our development team are indeed fast on fixing this. Thanks to them as well. ??
