1. Fine
2. This also happens on the free version.
3. I downgraded to the free version since the MyYoast dashboard is utterly useless.
4. NOW can i get help?

You’re welcome. A bit more info… it appears like the author updates are not saved in the post edit screen. However if you look at the post listing, you’ll see the results of the edits there. Same if you look at the actual post on the front end. What’s disconcerting is adding/editing the authors on a post, hitting Update and seeing the changes apparently not saved. I need to play with this a bit more but it seems that page caching being on is fine but the object caching causes this.

What I need to do is see if there’s a way to configure the cache so that it invalidates when the author is updated on a post.

@stevejburge

Found out the root cause of this. It’s object caching being enabled. Specifically, the Redis cache. This may or may not be specific to the way SpinupWP configures that cache, but disabling it solves the issue and lets the new authors display correctly in the admin when you update the post.

If you run into this with other clients and they’re on Spinup, you can have them insert this into the wp-config.php and it will disable Redis on their site:

define( ‘WP_REDIS_DISABLED’, true );

/shrug. This is php 8.0, mysql 8, new nginx site on a Linode VPS. Using current Safari. I’d expect all this to work fine. If your plugin requires Chrome etc, that’s… not a good decision from my perspective.

I don’t particularly care if others don’t see it, I can see it on a clean environment and an existing site. As I said, if you want to get access to investigate this, let me know. IF not, that’s fine.

I don’t know what to tell you. I created a new blank site, two authors. Classic Editor.

First issue: I create a post and assigned an author. This saved fine. Trying to assign a second author, the search told me that there were no results when i typed in the author name. This happens with and without the Classic editor plugin active.

Second issue: As above. This test site shows the problem even with the class editor off. It’s possible this is a visual bug due to an extension in Safari or something. If I back out of the post and then, in the admin listing, click it to edit it again, the name shows. But even if I refresh, it does not show on the admin screen right after adding the second author.

This isn’t a 100% showstopper for my use case but it does have the potential to confuse editors and make them less confident in the process.

PS: If you want access to this staging site, let me know.

Sorry, last week was busy. I’ll spin up a new site and see if I can replicate this for you.

It’s the Classic Editor plugin (v 1.6.2). Your plugin actually saves the author fine (you can see the updated authors in the admin post listing) but when hitting Update and the admin screen refreshes, the newly added author(s) don’t show in the admin screen. They do if Classic Editor is disabled.

Thanks.

Hello?

Nevermind, figured it out, It was a matter of raising the threshold as shown in the above link, I just hadn’t raised it high enough.

@slash1andy – any other thoughts here?

FYI, I also tried increasing the variation threshold since there are a lot of variations for some of these and… no dice.

(I used this code to manage the threshold, increasing the number accordingly)

Bleh, I should have mentioned… this happens in Storefront too. I’d not disabled plugins so I just I disabled all plugins aside from Woo itself and… no luck. You can see this on a staging server here:

https://agb.sitetherapy.co/product/2-way-pilot-diaphragm-solenoid-valve-normally-open/

If you choose the first option as 3/8″ the fourth option should only have 3 choices vs 6. Nothing shows in the console either. Any ideas on what else would cause Ajax to fail?

Oh.. WP 5.1.1, Woo 3.5.7

NOTE: If I expose the Additional info tab, the values are present there. They just don’t show in the variation drop down.

More: If I edit the attribute name out in the the variable.php in the plugin, the drop down shows the raw values of the values *that I’d previously deleted* but not the new values.

https://gist.github.com/rickgregory/dcf0563f20031040962ce6add3a886b5 has the code I’m talking about.

Interestingly, there are several db related errors around the plugin including some cannot connect to MySQL server. Link here if you’re curious:

I’ll be diving into this later (PHP, btw, is 7.01)

Further investigation…

I removed the WP functions calling the ACF field and simply placed in a call to get the featured image, i.e.:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail();} ?>

Same issue. HOWEVER – in both this and the above example the double downloading does NOT happen when you first load the page. It happens on the second and subsequent refreshes.
