• Resolved Midlife Riding

    (@midlife-riding)


    I’ve read through the support topics with no resolution found. Reaching out to resolve this prior to spending money on the e-commerce edition (will not waste money on a product that doesn’t work). I’ve seen several others struggling with this same issue so I know I’m not alone.

    I am trying to resolve a 404-not found error for the individual term pages within the glossary.

    The main glossary page works.
    The tooltips work.
    The links back to the individual term pages work

    The only thing not working is the individual term pages (https://domain.com/glossary/{term})

    All other custom post types work just fine, but there’s one main difference between those post types and this one. All other custom post types use their own category or taxonomy pages as the “index” or main page while this one uses a standard default page and then attaches the glossary custom post type to that page. Considering this is the only big difference between all other post types and the glossary post types, I can’t help but think the issue is somehow related to that.

    When creating a glossary entry, the title slug shows up properly in the admin backend, the entry in the main glossary page uses that proper slug, but the slug/permalink does not function (no content at that URL permalink). It’s as if it require custom rules for the link structure to function/rewrite the URLs properly, but something is missing and not allowing the permalinks to function properly.

    I’m not expecting amazing customer support since this is the free version and everyone else with this problem using the free version has been ignored, but I want to bring it up again as an on-going issue, and will continue to try to figure out what’s causing it. If I can get this fixed, then this plugin is by far the best and most comprehensive one I’ve seen and tried and will be happily upgrading to the e-commerce edition. If I can’t get it resolved, then this plugin will get uninstalled and chalked up to “a great idea, but useless without core functionality” and I’ll be moving on to another glossary plugin that functions. It’s not necessarily the mod author’s fault that this issue exists, but it’s certainly the mod author’s fault for losing paying customers by refusing to even help with necessary core functionality. I’m not asking for a step-by-step guide to fixing this problem, but at least some kind of hints or suggestions from the plugin author (who knows best) as to what I can try beyond the default “disable all plugins and themes” which I have already tried and still have the same issue.

    FIXED:

    If you are experiencing 404 errors and have SSL enabled for your site, then the issue is related to conanical links. You have some options for how to fix it, but for me it was as easy as changing one setting in the “permalinks” settings within WordPress SEO by Yoast. Change the “Force Transport” to “Force HTTPS” and save and the 404 error goes away.

    If you are not using that particular SEO plugin, then you may have a similar option in your SEO plugin of choice or you can write a short code snippet in your functions.php file to force HTTPS as the delivery mechanism for conanical links.

    This is not an issue directly related to the plugin, but is related to common server setups (SSL) that affect the plugin operation. Since I read several support requests related to this specific error with no fix or resolution mentioned, I’m sharing my fix.

    Strange. Bet today the free version on one site and I have also not working.
    https://nse-expert.ru/glossary/
    https://nse-expert.ru/glossary/investitsionnaya-stoimost/
    And on another site where get this plugin version of pro-everything works.
    https://spas-preobrajenie.ru/glossary/
    https://spas-preobrajenie.ru/glossary/vechernya/

    How can that be?

    Just a note to say thanks for the fix. I was puzzled by this too.

    Awesome, thank you so very much. I couldn’t figure out how to fix it, so I just installed Yoast’s SEO plug in and changed the setting ?? Worked like a charm.

    Sorry, I don’t know how to delete this

    Well I am glad it works for you guys, it does not for me. Obviously it is not a force transport issue for me. I find the way this plugin saves things quite unstably. Maybe the paid version works. However, I have wasted too much money in software with empty promises and half-baked structures. If the free version is buggy as such, I will have to move on to something that proves its promises.
