Meanwhile I found out that there is a setting in the Twentyfourteen Customizer ( in the “Featured Content” section ) which is supposed to hide the special featured tag from being displayed in the frontend. If I disable the setting, the feautured tag can be set.

However as it stands this setting does not only hide the tag in the frontend but also prohibits the tag being set in the editor. It is possible to set the tag when using quick edit.

So is this a bug in the editor or in the template?

Additinally I should have mentioned that I tried it with the Gutenberg plugin, latest Version, both activated and deactivated, the behaviour was identical. Everything else (WordPress itself and all other plugins) is up-to-date, too.

Hi,

even with the newest update of EditorPlus, the category tick boxes are empty when I open a post for editing. If I tick one or more categories and hit the Save/Update button, the category ticks are empty afterwards while I am still in the editor ( however the category assignment is saved ) .
This was tested with all components (WP, Editorplus, Neve Theme ) being on the newest version. I even tested with the latest Gutenberg Plugin both active and inactive.

When Editor Plus is disabled, the category ticks remain intact.

Regards,
Ulrich

I can confirm that it works. I have exported my Timetable content ( 7 columns, several Events and Categories) and checked the XML. It looks ok, and also it validates. Then I was able to import it sucessfully into an empty test clone installation.

@motopress @dimned Thank you for fixing!

Works great, exactly what I need ( and maybe Priska, too ?? )

Thank you very much!

@dmytro – I found that to be not correct, at least on my site. Setting a custom URL for the event does NOT redirect requests to the event’s single page, nor does it remove the page from the sitemap. From what I see, setting the URL simply changes the link from the schedule, while the single page still remains accessible when requested.

Disallowing them in robots.txt is a mere hack , it may lead to errors for many search engines, since you publish the URL in the sitemap and then disallow it in robots.txt.

As far as I know setting a custom post type (like mptt events or columns) to non-public is only possible at the time of object creation (register_post_type?) – can the “public” property be overriden later by a hook or filter in a child theme function.php?

Just to let you know – since I had the same problem on my site I tried to remove the columns and events from my sitemap and ended up with creating custom functions.
However in your case, since you are using YoastSEO, you can achieve the same result be disabling columns and events from showing up in sitemaps (can be done at /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#post-types , “Show events/columns in search results -> no”).
Note that the pages then still exist, but they are not submitted to search engines any more

Hello Priska,

there is a group of settings where subtitle and background colors can be set – if they are not visible, you have to open this group by clicking on the black triangle pointing downwards.

In this setting group, you can enter a custom URL for your class. This works and the link from the schedule will then point to the custom URL. However keep in mind that the event pages still “exist”, even if you do not link to it! They might show up in XML sitemaps or search results. Look at your sitemap, which points to
https://dailypioneer.rocks/mp-event-sitemap.xml via https://dailypioneer.rocks/sitemap_index.xml – so the event and column pages are submitted to search engines right now even while you are testing which is probably undesired.

If someone from motopress is watching this thread it would be helpful (for me, too) to know how this can be avoided. This is very important, because it leads to undesired content being indexed by search engines. Ideally it should be possible to disable event detail pages and column pages, either completely or just in sitemaps.

Styling the events page should be possible by switching to “developer mode” in the general settings of the mptt plugin, see the very first post on this forum (“Different theme template”).

Uli

Hi Munir,

I did some tests on two different WP sites. Installing the Gutenberg plugin did not change the behaviour. Again, I activated different themes: Twenty-Twenty, then an ancient theme I created 7 years ago, and finally the brand-new Neve theme.
Also, I activated and deactivated different plugin combinations. Whenever Pluseditor is active, the category checkboxes are unchecked when a post is opened in editor, even if Editorplus is the only plugin that is active (plus the Gutenberg plugin).

Also, I tried both the fullscreen- and the regular editor setting, in both settings the checkboxes are empty.

Regards
Uli

Hello Munir,

I can confirm this problem. If Editorplus is active, all the category metaboxes are empty when the post is opened in the editor (right column, under “categories”) As soon as Editorplus is disabled, the ticks show up correctly.

If the post is edited and saved, the category it was assigned remains intact even though the boxes are not ticked. If changing categories by ticking boxes, these changes are saved, too. However when opening the post in the editor next time, the ticks are gone. So it seems to be a display problem.

BTW – I activated 3 different themes (Neve, my Child Theme of Neve, and Twentytwenty).
The problem persisted in each of them. Even if Editorplus is the only plugin active.

Regards
Uli

PS: The video you posted was missing the important part. You had empty checkboxes and then you saved the post with some categories ticked. But you did not reopen the post in the editor and looked at the checkboxes. In my case, the checkboxes are empty every time a post is opened in the editor.
