Possible Issue with WP 3.8 & CCTM

  • Hi,

    After updating to WP 3.8, links to CCTM (v 0.9.7.11) custom content type posts are throwing a 404 error.

    the failing URLS are in the form:

    https://site.com/your_post_type/your-title/

    I was able restore the site from backups, confirm that it was working as expected, updated from WP 3.6 to 3.8, and confirmed that the URLs stopped working.

    Also, I re-saved my permalink settings for good measure, with no change.

    FYI, permalinks are set to:

    https://site.com/sample-post/

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Mike

  • @fireproofsocks / Plugin Authors:

    1) First of all, excellent plugin! ??

    2) After upgrading to WP3.8.1, I ran into the same problems described above.
    Interestingly though, downgrading CCTM to version v 0.9.7.6 solved the problem for me! The major changes since that version seem to be in the permalink rules (flush removed from global settings?), so perhaps that’s a good place to start.

    In short: WP 3.8.1 + CCTM v0.9.7.6 seems to be a workaround.

    Thanks for the info — yeah, I think the problem is how and when the plugin rewrite rules are flushed. In 0.9.7.6, the rewrite rules were flushed more often.

    Another workaround that may work: change permalink settings globally, then change them back. In some tests, that has successfully regenerated permalink rules for the defined custom post types.

    I’m working hard on the next version with a lot of improvements for this and testability overall.

    Hello, fireproofsocks.

    Would it be possible to use the above mentionend workaround directly in the .htaccess file?

    We experience serious speed issues when using the snippet directly in the functions.php but currently have to use it to finish a project.

    As I am not an .htaccess expert, could you give me a hint how to set this up?
    Many thanks for your help and the great plugin.

    I’m not an expert on .htaccess modifications either, unfortunately, but in theory yes you could make alterations there. It would be muddying up the setup, so I’m bristling at the thought of it. Ugly links would cause much cleaner execution here, but I know few people prioritize functionality over aesthetics. The only other thing I can say to try is changing your permalink settings, saving them, and then changing them back: this can cause the rules to be regenerated and in some cases, the posts will be “visible” to WP’s radar after the rules are regenerated.

    I’m working on the new version of this that fixes this, and offers new flexibility for URLs.

    Hi,
    thanks for the fast reply. We will try the .htaccess route because resetting the permalinks didn’t bring any changes.

    Thanks.

    Although there may be some workarounds to WP’s troublesome URL routing, the real fix is in development and can be tracked at this issue: https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=534
