Do you use the permalink() function?

    I’m planning to work at some categories with WPeMatico. It allows that the post title of the url fetched via RSS does link back to the source.

    When i avtivate GeneratePress this does not work. With other Themes i tested it works. The FAQ of WPeMatico states that they are working with the permalink() function to link back to the source. But the Theme should support it:

    “5. “Post title links to source” seems to be not working?
    5. This feature works with Permalink() method of WordPress, change the link of the post to source link, but only if the post was added with WPeMatico. If you aren’t using the function “permalink()” on your template, this feature has no effect for you.“

    WPeMatico FAQ: https://www.wpematico.com/faq/

    Is there any chance to solve this?

    Hi there,

    GP strictly uses WordPress functions and best practices, so we’re definitely using the_permalink() function.

    When was the last time that plugin was updated?

    Have you tried it with the TwentyFifteen theme?

    Hello

    GeneratePress ist on Version 1.3.15, so it should be on the current level. Last update was a few days ago. With TwentyFifteen it also does not work, but it works with TwentyTwelve , Airborne and Carton.

    If it’s not working in TwentyFifteen (the latest official WordPress theme), chances are the plugin is broken.

    Do you know the last time the plugin (WPeMatico) was updated?

    WPeMatico ist on Version 1.2.4.1 which is the newest one, updated also some days ago.

    You might want to let the plugin author know the plugin isn’t working with the latest version of TwentyFifteen.

    Once they fix whatever that issue is, it should work with GP as well.

    I say this because TwentyFifteen and GP use the latest WordPress coding practices – everything is 100% core WordPress the way it’s supposed to be.

    The issue might be that GP and 2015 use the get_permalink() function and not the_permalink() specifically – however, this shouldn’t make a difference, as get_permalink() just calls the the_permalink() function.

    Either way, the plugin author will want to make adjustments to the plugin to work with both functions if that is the case.

    Hope this helps ??

    Thanks for the information. Just opened a ticket in the WPeMatico Support Forum. I will update it with your information.

    Thanks a lot for fast help.
