WP creates parent posts

  • I have Pods to create custom post type, in this case ‘vertolker’.
    I have WPUF installed for front end publishing, set to pending review.
    In WPUF I created a form ‘Vertolker’ which works fine, safe for the field ‘add image’. When this is included, when publishing the post, the message is: invalid post ID.
    I then return tot he post, the wheel is spinning and does not stop, suggesting an endless loop.
    I refresh the page, the post reappears, but without the uploaded image.
    I publish the post and end up with two posts, one being the child of the other.
    I add an image or change any field and in updating another child post is created.
    I have searched everywhere, but have no idea why this is happening.
    It must be to do with the uploaded images. No other field created this problem.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • You need to ask in the plugin’s support forum since it is not an issue with WordPress.

    Point taken.
    I was hoping someone could explain about parent posts since googling revealed this hardly ever happens. The plugin causes it, but why does WP do this?

    I have never used those plugins, so I don’t know what they are doing. Don’t assume that WP did it. It likely didn’t.
    Images are stored in the same table as posts. They are a custom post type, actually, “attachment”, with meta data for the file name and sizes, etc., including the field called parent, which is the post ID of the post that the image is attached to.
    If you interrupted something that a plugin was doing, no telling what really happened.
