Actually, nevermind. Something is disabling the standard Screen Options tab on this and many other sites; I need to narrow down which plugin is doing that.

Preliminary testing shows this appears to solve the problem – thanks.

edit – I see this thread was marked as resolved so this response may not be seen. Moving it to a new thread.

Yep, that would be perfect.

There is no extra tracking snippet. You can replicate this on a default WP installation – add Analytics and fill both the manual tracking fields.

Debugging the results in Analytics will show two page views events going to the GA4 code.

Seems only option is to downgrade the plugin for now – based on other messages already, looks like this one needed a bit more testing!

Occasionally it says ‘Feed saved successfully’, but if I reload the toggle for custom templates is off again.

No, in my case it’s definitely the permalinks and the code error I described above,

Note, if it helps, this was tested on a default installation on WP Engine, so if it works elsewhere, it definitely doesn’t work there.

I’m also seeing this broken on a WP Engine site, so it appears this is not resolved.

So I’ve read the information + watched the video about what that option provides.

Both specifically *recommend* having this option off, because it may cause issues with themes / plugins, but don’t give examples.

In cases like this, *not* enabling this option causes issues with one of the most popular plugins available in WordPress (3+ million installs). You give another example in your documentation about it breaking iThemes Security if left off.

Perhaps you could give some examples of what problems may occur when it is *on*, given these seem less likely / important? I understand having it off by default but it seems the recommendation should be to turn it on wherever possible (to be compatible with other plugins like this), as oppose to keeping it off wherever possible.

@jdembowski Why did you move this thread to fixing WordPress? This has nothing to do with fixing WordPress in the slightest; it’s about building a WordPress theme.

If questions about.. developing with WordPress.. aren’t suited to a forum called developing with WordPress, please advise where they should go, since it’s definitely not this one.

I’m not seeing the fix at your link, but hope to see it in the next version.

Just to be precise, the image already gets added to the table (when you upload it). But the dynamic thumbnail does not.

And the rescan process takes a long time with a large site, so just looking for a quick workaround to get just one specific thumbnail in the queue.

OK, so you’ve come to the same conclusion as I did – it is never correct to use wp_reset_postdata inside a custom block/shortcode (nor indeed, a new WP_Query, like your earlier suggestion). Even though there is no recursion involved from your point of view, there is no guarantee it won’t happen.

Will be interested in hearing from others like bcworkz who was suggesting it was OK though, as I see it in widespread usage.
