I think I have a namespace collision. I have “roanwoulfe-members” as a parent page, and “roanwoulfe-members” as a Pods custom post type. I’m working on changing the permalink now, and will post when I manage to change the permalink and get a result.

Yet when I click on “view” for a problem page, I get a page 404, article not found. Hmmm..

@radices – https://www.roanwoulfe.com/parent/child/.

@rguastella – it’s evidently considered a poor practice to post about a problem you’re having on another problem’s thread. People can wind up trying to solve two different problems on one thread and it can get confusing. I urge you to start your own thread, and of course you can cut and paste as much of my posts as apply to your problem.

Good luck.

@gustav – .htaccess file present and contents as they should be.

One of you said the pages are in the database – you’re right, when I said I was moving stuff into a subdirectory I meant the .php template files for those pages. Sorry again for the sloppy thinking.

@radices, @gustav – Changed the permalinks settings back, still having the same problem.

@radices, I changed the permalink settings as you suggested and the child page permalinks have not changed. Come to think of it, that’s what’s described in the documentation on child pages somewhere in the codex. Sorry, I can’t find it now.

I’ll change the permalink settings back and see if anything’s changed.

Wups! I was in a hurry, and so did not completely explain my problem. Sorry. The actual problem is that the new permalinks don’t work as links, whether the file is in a parent subdirectory or not. Clicking on them takes me to Page 404. I’ve even tried cutting and pasting the permalink into my code and still no good.

So @gustavo, I don’t care as long as I don’t have to change the permalink settings.

@radices, the site is roanwoulfe.com. What are you looking for?

No. But I will say that it’s set to
https://www.example.com//%category%/%postname%
if that helps anyone help me.

Radices, I’m afraid I don’t see how changing that would help.

This post deleted as irrelevant because I was momentarily confused.

I have been an edit.

Either Pods or WordPress already prevents users from editing other user’s member data. I hadn’t logged in as a normal user until just now to check that behaviour. May others learn from my mistake.

I have been an idiot.

Either Pods or WordPress already prevents a user from trashing other user’s members. I hadn’t tested the situation as a normal user until now. May others learn from my mistake.

My users are all authors so they can post to the blog, which is really more of a forum.

I hadn’t thought of changing their capabilities. I’ll look into that. Thanks.

@catacaustic – Thank you, but that fires *after* the post has been edited. I need one that fires *before* the post has been edited.

Moving this to the Hacks sub-forum. Sorry.
