Problems under WP4.7

    Hi, I just found your plugin and it looks like taxonomies it provides is perfect for my needs. However, after creating a talk, the link to the talk (and the other creatable items) is giving 404. I’ve played with the code a bit to try and figure things out, but to no avail.

    All the administration appears to work (topics, series, speakers, talks). When a talk is created, with a slug of say ‘foo’ going to host/talks/foo/ it gives 404. It does not make it to the wp_talks_get_talk() function.

    Any pointers? Any efforts underway to support 4.7 (assuming that’s the problem)?

    Thanks! Glad possibly to be a contributor once it gets up and running.

    Hi there, and thanks for trying out the plugin.

    Just to rule out a simple thing, have you refreshed permalinks since installing it? Whenever new post types or taxonomies are created you need to do this to make the links work. To do this just go to “Settings -> Permalinks” and then click “Save changes” (you don’t actually need to save anything).

    I should probably document this for people, or include a call to the permalink refresh function in the plugin activation.

    Let me know if it still doesn’t work after that. I may need to update the code for creating the post types. I don’t know of any reason why it wouldn’t work on 4.6 or 4.7, but I’ve yet to test it and update the supported version number.

    I’ll try and update it soon. Let me know how you get on and if you have ideas for improving/enhancing the plugin then let me know. If you want me to publish it on GitHub so you can contribute code then also let me know.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks that fixed it! I’m a little new to wp and not aware of such quirks. Yes I agree with making a call like that upon plugin activation. Anyhow, thanks again.

    I’ll post separately if I run into any other problems. As for enhancements, github would probably make it easier for anyone to do that. I’ll play with it later today to see if I need to make any changes.

    Thanks for letting me know. And welcome to WordPress! ??

    I’ll set to resolved. But leave you with a note that this is far from the best plugin for doing what you’re probably trying to do. Feel free to look up others. I won’t be offended if you find something better.

    I’ll try to update the supported version and get it onto GitHub in the coming days.
