Slider won't update!

The problem is with _transient__sol_cache_. The slider’s initial settings are being cached in the db, and the only fcking way to update this P.O.S. is to delete that cache and create the slider again! Thank God for the Adminer plugin to make this possible since it’s a client site and I don’t have myphpadmin access.

Ha actually editing within Adminer in _transient__sol_cache_ works. This is fcked up dude that your Config panel doesn’t even update the db entry it created.

Maybe it’s because it creates two db entries and isn’t updating the right one:
_transient__sol_cache_
_transient__sol_cache_### (individual slider number)

This would explain why when I delete one slider and add another, the original is still there because it’s saving in _transient__sol_cache rather than the individual slider cache _transient__sol_cache_###.

There, that’s all you gotta fix.

I’m not sure why it would be saving without a post ID at the end. If you look at the main plugin file, you will see the public methods that generate the cache. Each one looks for some type of item, such as an ID or slug. There should be no reason that is just creates an empty _transient__sol_cache_ key. There will be two keys, one with a timestamp and one with an ID/slug (depending on how you try to access the slider).

Could you write down the steps to reproduce this?

1. Create a slider
2. Insert the slider shortcode with the ID [soliloquy id=”405″]
3. Edit the slider
4. Refresh Page and see slider didn’t update

Why am I the lucky one to only seem to have this bug?

It’s as if the edits are saved to ID 405, but the slider is calling the empty string it originally created rather than 405.

right is spelled write btw in that context.

I just tested and had no problems with this. I followed the same steps on 3 different sites, and each time, only the proper transient was created and flushed at the appropriate times.

Are you using a caching plugin or something, or I wonder if it is a plugin conflict?

Also – why would you leave such a poor review? Have you even looked at the code – it is far from poorly written. Just because you have an isolated issue doesn’t mean the plugin is the worst thing you have ever seen or used, and I’m at least attempting to help you get this resolved..

I have isolated the issue. It’s you that has yet to catch up and fix it. Do you want admin access to the site to see for yourself? I don’t want to post it here though.

Sure – go to https://soliloquywp.com/ and click on the Contact link and send over your info so I can check it out.

I’m having the same problem. After updating, an old version of the slider is displayed, even after refreshing and cleaning caches. Can you please publish the solutution you’ve found for nickth?

Thanks

I have the same issue. Is there a fix for this yet?

Hi Dave,

This solved it for me:
Click on the ‘i’ icon of the image and set ‘draft’ to ‘published’.
By default this is set to ‘draft’, bit annoying. Soliloquy said they would resolve this problem in an update.

Hope this helps, grtz

I don’t see any draft/published selection for the images:

I only have
Image Title
Image Alt Test
Image Hyperlink
Open Link in new tab (checkbox)
Image Caption.

Update: even after deleting the slider and making a new one I still see the old data.

Thanks JAgd Design. That worked great. It’s been driving me crazy.

JAgd design:
This was fixed in 2.4.0 and higher. Please upgrade. Also please note that this forum is for Soliloquy Lite, which does not have the publish/draft functionality of the Pro version you refer to.

Should you still require support on this issue for your Pro version, please use our contact form at https://soliloquywp.com/
