    Sorry, please disregard the above message and read this one instead (correct YT link here)

    Hi WP STAGING developers.

    I have recently begun working with WP STAGING and I find it very useful in most aspects. However, linking between pages in the staging site is unpredictable, to put it mildly. Sometimes I am directed to the corresponding page in the published site, and sometimes I get a Not Found error. Your troubleshooting guide has a lot of suggestions for fixing this, but I find them cumbersome and not always effective. Instead, I have written a very tiny Chrome extension that can switch between a page in the staging site and the corresponding published page – and vice versa. Using this, issues with linking between pages in the staging site can be rather easily circumvented, without having to reconfigure the site.

    Please have a look at?this YouTube video?(which also displays the link to the extension in the description) to learn more about the extension. If you find it useful, you might want to suggest using it to people with the same type of problem as I had. Also, if you have any questions or criticisms about the extension, please let me know.

    I meant: did you try any of the actions I suggested in my previous reply? And what happened?

    Please also note that Cornerstone Editor sometimes fails to save although the green exclamation banner appears. If you get an “unsaved changes” alert from your browser when attempting to reload the page directly after a “save” then the editor has lost contact with the server and you will have to go on with the reload to reconnect. This has occurred to me quite independently of WPMtL.

    Which action did you take?

    I do not have this issue with Cornerstone. Maybe you have a conflict involving yet another plugin, or you are using a different CS setting (stack for example. I am using “Integrity”).

    My CS version: 1.3.3
    My WP version: 4.7.3
    My WPMtL version: 2.1.6

    Salilou, I am not sure your issue has anything to do with Cornerstone. Have you looked at the “Protect plain emails” settings in the WP Mailto Links panel? If “Yes, protect plain emails with protection text” is checked, all email addresses entered as plain text will be replaced by “*protected email*”. This is normal behaviour. To remedy that, you could

    a) manually replace the email addresses with mailto links, which will be both functional and protected, or

    b) check the “Yes, convert plain emails to mailto links” option, which will cause the plugin to do that work for you.

    c) check “No, keep plain emails as they are”. Then your plain-text email addresses will be kept, but in an unprotected state, leaving them accessible to spam robots.

    I just installed WP Mailto Links and had serious compatibility problems, both with Cornerstone and with LayerSlider plugin.

    Cornerstone Editor wouldn’t launch, and LayerSlider output disappeared.

    I got rid of those problems by adjusting the WP Mailto Links settings:

    Under “Also protect”, uncheck
    “<head>-section by replacing emails with protection text *” (important) and
    “RSS feed by replacing emails with protection text *” (this I don’t think matters)
    (I kept the third option unchecked as well)

    This solved my issues with Cornerstone Editor and LayerSlider.

    Then I read your post, but in my hands there are no problems with email addresses, at least not on pages. Was yours on a post or a page?
