No, we are not using a URL shortener.

Thank you for getting back to me! I don’t see anything in our plugin list that manipulates plugins – I did include the list down below.

The post’s structure was updated during an overhaul recently, but that should still point to the correct URL. Links are correct throughout the website using the standard template functions. Just now, I did a test by adding echo get_the_permalink(); to the single.php template and the correct URL, but not the URL that is being tweeted out, displayed. I did this on both the staging environment and briefly on the live to make sure nothing was getting lost in translation. They matched. You can view the staging version here: https://venturepatterns.jennsuzhoy.com/blog/essay/entrepreneurs-solve-chicken-and-egg-problems/)

You can see that the permalink is showing as: https://venturepatterns.jennsuzhoy.com/blog/essay/entrepreneurs-solve-chicken-and-egg-problems

But when we Tweet this same post, the URL that goes out is: https://venturepatterns.com/uncategorized/entrepreneurs-solve-chicken-and-egg-problems/

You can see the Tweet here: https://twitter.com/VenturePatterns/status/1334263393210028034

Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks, Priscilla! I’ve run the theme through an HTML validator and corrected all the errors. A few warnings remain, but they are from plugins.

I also narrowed down the issue. There’s something in my theme’s CSS that is triggering the schema to show. I’ve got it from here.

Thank you again!

Figured it out. If I add the trigger class for the pop up to the submit button and remove the Form Submit trigger the fields retain their data.

I came here to make this request as well. I’m currently using the Featherlight plugin to convert all images with a link to their media file into a lightbox – would be great to enable this when using the Media & Text block.

For now, I have the accompanying text link to open the lightbox, but would be 100x more intuitive to have the link on the image itself.

Marking resolved.

Yes, that solved it! Thank you for both taking the time, and for the explanation.

Thank you for your quick work! I have my computer in for repair, but will test as soon as I am able and will post the update here.

You can view the results of the above steps on the demo you created: https://demo-02.gbiorczyk.pl

I was able to recreate the issue. It’s a combination of WP Better Permalinks and using taxonomies as menu items in the site navigation. Here are the steps I used to create the problem:

1. Install Custom Post Type UI (or create a custom post type and taxonomy):

• Go to CTP UI > Tools. On the Post Type tab, paste the following to import the Products Category (to ensure we have the same settings): {"products":{"name":"products","label":"Products","singular_label":"Product","description":"","public":"true","publicly_queryable":"true","show_ui":"true","show_in_nav_menus":"true","show_in_rest":"false","rest_base":"","rest_controller_class":"","has_archive":"true","has_archive_string":"products","exclude_from_search":"false","capability_type":"page","hierarchical":"true","rewrite":"true","rewrite_slug":"products","rewrite_withfront":"false","query_var":"true","query_var_slug":"","menu_position":"21","show_in_menu":"true","show_in_menu_string":"","menu_icon":"dashicons-cart","supports":["title","editor","thumbnail","page-attributes"],"taxonomies":["product_category"],"labels":{"menu_name":"Products","all_items":"All Products","add_new":"Add New","add_new_item":"Add New Product","edit_item":"Edit Product","new_item":"New Product","view_item":"View Product","view_items":"View Products","search_items":"Search Products","not_found":"No Products Found","not_found_in_trash":"No Products Found in Trash","parent":"Parent Product:","featured_image":"Featured Product Image","set_featured_image":"Set Featured Product Image","remove_featured_image":"Remove Featured Product Image","use_featured_image":"Use as Featured Product Image","archives":"Product Archives","insert_into_item":"Insert into Product","uploaded_to_this_item":"Uploaded to this Product","filter_items_list":"Filter Products","items_list_navigation":"Products List Navigation","items_list":"Products List","attributes":"Products Attributes","parent_item_colon":"Parent Product:","name_admin_bar":""},"custom_supports":""}}
• Click the Taxonomies tab at the top of the Tools panel. Paste the following to create the Product Category (to ensure we have the same settings): {"product_category":{"name":"product_category","label":"Product Categories","singular_label":"Product Category","description":"","public":"true","publicly_queryable":"true","hierarchical":"true","show_ui":"true","show_in_menu":"true","show_in_nav_menus":"true","query_var":"true","query_var_slug":"","rewrite":"true","rewrite_slug":"products","rewrite_withfront":"0","rewrite_hierarchical":"1","show_admin_column":"true","show_in_rest":"false","show_in_quick_edit":"true","rest_base":"","rest_controller_class":"","labels":{"menu_name":"","all_items":"","edit_item":"","view_item":"","update_item":"","add_new_item":"","new_item_name":"","parent_item":"","parent_item_colon":"","search_items":"","popular_items":"","separate_items_with_commas":"","add_or_remove_items":"","choose_from_most_used":"","not_found":"","no_terms":"","items_list_navigation":"","items_list":""},"meta_box_cb":"","object_types":["products"]}}

• Create 3 Product Categories:

1. Parent Category
2. Child Category – set the parent as Parent Category
3. Grandchild Category – set the parent as Child Category

• Create a Product page. Give it a Product Category of Grandchild Category.
• Install WP Better Permalinks
• Set the Products URL structure to include Product Category
• Create a Menu (Appearance > Menus) in the Primary menu location
• Add all three Product Categories (you may need to turn on their visibility by opening the Screen Options panel at the top of the Menus page). Nest Child Category under Parent Category and Grandchild Category under Child Category to create a dropdown.
• View the site and click on either Child Category or Grandchild Category from the dropdown. The URL structure will duplicate the parent/grandparent section of the URL.

Some additional notes/troubleshooting I’ve done:

• In the Settings > WP Better Permalinks, turning off the taxonomy in the URL does not affect the performance of the taxonomies, but does break the permalinks to the eventual single Product – a 404 page shows.
• Deleting the plugin outright resets the taxonomy URLs in the navigation, but the final single Product URL remains broken and results in a 404 page.
• Reinstalling WP Better Permalinks and adding the taxonomy back to the URL structure settings <b>does</b> fix the single Product URL, but the taxonomy URLs from the menu repeat once again.
• Setting the taxonomy URLs as custom URLs in the navigation does not help. There is a redirect created somewhere that forces the duplicate URL structure.
• Adding a 301 redirect results in an infinite loop and crashes the site.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks! I will work with this to recreate and send you an update.

As the OP of the issue, would it be OK if I recreated the issue I’m having?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem is persisting for me as well. It’s exactly as Jill states above – child taxonomies have the parent repeat on their archive pages.

I understand you’re working to find and resolve the issue. I will wait to hear the result. Thank you for your time and attention!
