social image setting disappearing on post type change

    When an event has passed on our site, we archive it by changing its post type. The weird thing is that if we had set a social image for that event, it is no longer set after changing the post type. Any ideas why, or how to ensure that no SEO setting changes?

    The weird thing is that if we change the post type back to the original one, the social image is again set correctly.

    I haven’t looked into the code to see how this all works but perhaps you can point me in the right direction before I do?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I assume you only update the ‘post_type’ value in the database? I scanned through the public GitHub you maintain for the site, but I couldn’t deduce where this issue might stem (nor how the post type is changed manually…). I wasn’t able to find any leads to this issue in TSF’s code, either.

    Did you find that any other metadata got hidden, or was it just the social image? Also, does changing the post type also affect the front-end metatag output unpredictably?

    Sybre,
    Thanks for the reply. As I was looking into your questions I found that I wasn’t able to reproduce the original issue. Now, whenever I change the post type, the social meta values correctly remain unchanged. So sorry to bother you with this. At the time it happened there must have been something else interacting to cause it.

    Thanks,
    Chris
