Permalink update causing blank pages

  • Hello,

    I’ve run into an odd issue, finally tracked down to this plugin. With Enhanced Media Library activated, and permalink structure set to /%slug%/%postname%/ (will check, but I think any custom structure will do), if I click the Permalinks page in the admin, pages on the front end stop displaying any content. It looks like the template hierarchy just stops working because the body tag no longer contains post id classes, etc, just the default class “blog” — so not loading the default or custom page templates at all.

    I can confirm that this happens with all plugins disabled except Enhanced Media Library, and I’ve tried it with both the Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Twelve themes.

    Page content can be restored by deactivating the plugin, then clicking Permalinks again, and the permalinks will continue to work unless the Permalinks tab is visited with the plugin activated.

    Any idea what could be happening?

    Thanks,
    David

    Hello David,

    Actually /%slug%/%postname%/ produces “Error 400: Bad request!” to me without any plugin being active. %postname% IS a slug of a post.

    /blog/%postname%/ works as expected. Maybe what you need is actually just /%postname%/?

    Enhanced Media Library modifies pre_get_posts to make media categories archive happen on the front-end, but you can easily turn it off on Settings > Media > Media Taxonomies > Options, just unset “Taxonomy archive pages”. (If you use EML < 2.2.1 then Media Settings > Taxonomies > Options > Taxonomy archive pages)

    Hope this helps.

    Best,
