Inconsistent Expiry Dates and Times

Hi @daffydd57

Thanks for using PublishPress Future.

Could you please try this version and let us know if the issue persists?

Thanks,

Using the hot fix version you linked to – no change. The issue persists.

Now it appears to be working correctly. Not sure if it is due to the hot fix or if the issue comes and goes randomly. Will keep you updated. Will there be an official update coming down?

@daffydd57 Yes, this hot-fix will be included in the next release. You can wait for the upcoming release, and please let us know if the issue arises again.

I hope the new release is soon. Just noticed that, even with the hotfix installed, it has now gone back to default expiry of same day at 11:02 instead of set 2 days. It had been working correctly, not sure what changed.

Thanks
Daf

@daffydd57 We plan to release it sometime this week. Feel free to give any feedback after the new version release.

Just installed Version 3.1.4. Now when I use PPF with new post I get consistently wrong expiry time/date. It totally ignores the default expiry. See screen shot linked below.

Edit and Quick Edit are correct.

Going back to hotfix 3.1.3hotfix for now, it was sketchy but did have spells where it was correct.

@daffydd57 We did not see this behavior using 3.1.4.

Do you mind sharing some recording (maybe using loom) showing how it behaves on your site?

You could create new post, and set future action in 1 or 2 minutes. And see when it scheduled.

You can check example recording that I did here: https://www.loom.com/share/103fe7ce5e514af5a8ac07e497f6a93d

Why would you need a recording? I sent you a screenshot of the behavior for our new posts. You want a video of me clicking “new post” then enabling PPF to show what I’ve already linked an image to?

I’ve already re-installed 3.1.3. I guess we stick with it.

Sorry – I don’t mean to come across surly, but this is a working site and we are super busy. We have many users that need to work quickly, they are affected by the slightest changes to plugins. It makes us grumpy to update and find something like this. No disrespect intended to you or developers.

@daffydd57 Recording help us understand how it works in real time.

If you feel comfortable with 3.1.3, please you can continue using it.

Thanks,

Did the video help?

@daffydd57 It helps a lot. I’ve created a GitHub issue for this so our developer can fix it in the future release: https://github.com/publishpress/PublishPress-Future/issues/623
