Replace: Category no working on Portfolio items

    Hi!
    The Replace: Category function used to work fine, but for a while it hasn’t, and I’ve made all the “expirations” manually. Today I finally had time to try to fix this, uninstalled and re-installed the plugin and went through all the porfolio items adding the correct portfolio category to replace to.

    But when i save, leave the page and later come back, the slot where you fill in the category to replace to is once again empty.

    The same thing happens if I use the actual name of the category OR the slug of the category.

    Before the name change of the plug-in the slot used to give options of the available categories when typing in the first few letters.

    Grateful your help! This is a great plugin – or has been and I’m really hoping also will be once this is resolved! ??

    Hi @hennra

    Thanks for using PublishPress Future.

    What portfolio plugin are you working with here?

    Does the same problem happen for Posts and Pages?

    Hi!
    I’m using the BeTheme, which has a bundled portfolio in it. I checked and none of the intended expirations had worked.

    I did a quick test and on normal articles and there the expiration worked! On the test article the post expiration tool also suggested categories to replace to, as it used to do in portfolio items too (and now doesn’t).

    Hi @hennra

    Sorry this isn’t something we can test as we don’t have a copy of that commercial theme. I would recommend asking BeTheme support.

    Sorry to hear that. But I understand it’s out of your reach.

    Hei again!
    I finally got around to contacting BeTheme support and gathering some new info on why Post Expiration is not working in Portfolio items:

    Followup:
    – Expiration works perfectly on Pages and Posts, thank you!!! I think you should sell this feature directly to every theme! ??

    – Expiration works on Portfolio posts IF you expire to draft or some other option. It does NOT work if you expire to “Replace: Category”, because for some reason Post Expirator ceased to recognize Portfolio categories. Probably this happened some time after December 2021: I checked the WP dashboard and those older posts seem to have expired correctly.

    BeTheme’s response to this was:
    “I checked the changelog and we did not change anything related to the configuration of the custom post type or categories or even portfolio like 2-3 years, we only added new features like Infinite Load or better support for WPBakery.” and also:
    “the difference between categories of posts and portfolio is… none – this is almost the same feature, but with other name.
    I think, that if you want to make it work you have to tweak the plugin a little bit, I think it does not have queries(or similar) for that CPT.”

    Here’s a link to screenshots showing that when in WP and quick editing a Post the categories available and when editing Porfolio => categories are not available:

    Here’s also a screenshot / hand-picked compilation on one single Portfolio item’s debugging log on PublishPress Future debug log showing that the Expirator tried to expire the Portfolio post but could not due to missing category.

    Putting some effort to this again since expiring to different category is an extremely useful thing to have and despite this not working right now, I think your plugin is really great!!! ??

    Hi Henna,

    No it’s not resolved yet. If it resolved the GitHub task will be closed. It stills open.

    Hi Henna,

    You can monitor the update of the issue on the GitHub task. Allow us to set this issue to resolve as this is the 3-month-old thread. Keeping old thread to be open is not that good for our plugin support repository. Thank you for your understanding ??

    Have a great day!
