Issue with ALL “Edit Single” Links in FDP Backend

    As of at least FDP version 2.3.0, there is an issue in the FDP Backend section where any FDP links that begin with “Edit Single” such as Edit Single Post or Edit Single Page all incorrectly point to the following page which is the URL for FDP itself:

    /wp-admin/admin.php?page=eos_dp_admin&paged=0

    This is true for ALL plugins installed that let you edit singles. As a result, deactivating plugins for “edit single” rows has no effect on the intended plugins or parts of WordPress that they should.

    I have tested on a staging site with only FDP active and the issue still happens.

    Thanks for looking into this.

    Hi @midihead

    thank you for reporting this issue.
    Those links have no URL. This is why if you click on them you refresh the page.
    They have no URL because they are related to the editing page of whatever single post or single post type.
    Let’s do an example. Let’s consider “Edit Single Post”.
    Imagine you have the blog posts “Hello World!”, “Hello WordPress”, “Hello Something Else”.
    When from the main admin navigation you go to Posts, and you click on “Edit” on one of those blog posts, then you are in the editing page of that post.
    “Edit Single Post” is valid for the editing page of whatever blog post.
    Maybe we could link it to the editing page of the last blog post. Do you think it would be better?
    At the moment it links to anywhere, and it was better to make it unclickable. The fact that it is clickable even without linking to anywhere is a bug, but for me, it’s not true that in the editing page of the post, the plugins are not disabled. I’ve right now tested it again, and it works for me.
    You can check the disabled plugins on the editing page of a post by doing as follows:

    • Go to the editing page of the post
    • Right-click with your mouse
    • Click on Inspect
    • Click on Console
    • Check the list of plugins written after “*** PLUGINS DISABLED BY FREESOUL DEACTIVATE PLUGINS ***”

    If you are an administrator that have the rights to activate a plugin, you will see that information.
    Please, let me know if you still think that it doesn’t work.
    I’m also interested to know if you prefer to link “Edit Single Post” to the last post, or let it unlinked.

    If something is not clear let me know.

    Have a great day!

    Jose

    @giuse,

    My apologies for the misunderstanding. Seeing the “Edit Single Post”, “Edit Single Page”, etc. links pointing to /wp-admin/admin.php?page=eos_dp_admin&paged=0 gave me the impression that the plugins weren’t actually being disabled on those admin pages when in fact they were. Also, when I was previously viewing the page source on the admin pages, I was still seeing references to plugins that had been disabled but I now realize that this was because the admin menu items for those disabled plugins were still being displayed on the page. Thanks for explaining how to verify that plugins have been disabled using the Console.

    I’m not sure that linking the “Edit Single…” links to the last blog posts or pages is necessary. Making the “Edit Single…” links unclickable would probably make more sense to me.

    Thanks!

    Hi @midihead

    you don’t have to apologize. I’m happy that you reported this issue. I think it may not be clear also to many other users.
    Thank you very much for your opinion. I also think that making it unclickable makes more sense. However, I will also ask some other people to provide a little statistic on what users prefer the most.

    Have a great day!

    Jose
