Given I had not received a response and I uregently need to remove the duplicates attachment posts I hacked the plugin file and changed all the instances of “publish” to inherit. That worked to find the duplicate attachments, however when I try to delete the selected posts from the list I get a pop up error “Response from the server: Unknown error occurred”

Nothing is deleted.

I can see in the code that this is an Ajax error however I have no idea how to fix it.

Can you please help with using this plugin to delete attachments? Ideally with making it work for attachments without having to hack the plugin code.

The entire reason we are using HTML instead of PDF is so the flipbooks can be generated automatically from dynamic website content. We have no interest in using a page builder as if we were going to manually build pages then we could do PDF’s. I’m currently evaluating various flipbook scripts to decide which one is best for this project. I don’t understand your suggestions to add js code to handle click event. I understand javascript. I know what a click event is. I just don’t understand the suggestion with relation to this plugin, which is supposed to work out the box for HTML files. Can you please provide the code snippet which would need to be added? Where would this code snippet be added?

Thanks

Apologies for my delayed response.

Thanks for taking the time to reply however your reply is rather confusing.

The front end and backend are one and the same thing. Well they should be. As in the content shown on the front end is supposed to be exactly that which is present in the “post_content” field of the wp_posts table in the WordPress database for that post. If the shortcodes don’t exist then they should be output as text exactly as they are in the database.

If you are not cleaning the database then how exactly are you cleaning the front end only?

Are you somehow parsing the content from the database and just hiding any missing shortcodes before showing the content on front end. Well if so then that’s clearly not working either because I can still see some shortcodes when I view the pages on the front end of the website. Also if that is the case then that isn’t really a shortcode “cleaner” is it? It’s more of a shortcode “concealer” or a shortcode “hider”.

I would greatly appreciated if you could take the time to explain from a technical perspective what exactly the differences are in how the shortcode cleaner works in both the free and the pro version.

Thanks very much,
Nicole

P.S. I would use the official support channel but it requires registration and account creation and I don’t feel that is necessary to get support. I already have an account here…

Hi Paulo,

Thanks for your lengthy reply.

Yes your understanding that the slug might change is correct. However the post title and the slug are independant of each other so the post titles could remain the same even if the slug format was changed.
get_page_by_title() should work as long as the post titles are the same regardless of the slug.

One post is not a child of the other as they are in two different post types. They are not two posts in the same post type which is heirarchical and thus supports parent and child relationships. It would not work to set them up this way as then they would all be in the one post type which does not create the desired functionality.

Ultimately I’m not looking for a workaround for get_page_by_title(). I know how to achieve that… I could set up a custom field on the B post to enter the post ID of the master A post and create a relationship that way. However that is extra work for each and every post and it should not be necessary to do that at all given there is a function get_page_by_title() which theorhetically does exactly what we need more efficiently… unless there are special characters!

So how can we just make get_page_by_title() actually work as it should rather than looking for hacky workarounds?

Hi Paulo,

The reason I need to use get_page_by_title() is that this is a highly complex site and there is a need for two different views of essentially the same post content on two different URL’s. This need was covered in an earlier topic I started here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-views-of-a-single-post/

So we have one master post in a custom post type (lets call it A) which has the main post content and all the custom fields and custom meta data required for that post. It is a complex post with a lot of data.

Then we have a duplicate of that post created via export and import of just the title in a different custom post type (lets call it B). This has the same post title. Then in the single template to display this post we are pulling most of the content from the master post of the same title in post type A using the get_page_by_title() function.

The end result is two quite different single post views like this:
ourdomain.com/posttype-A/our-post-title
ourdomain.com/posttype-B/our-post-title

I cannot think of another better way to do this. I really just need get_page_by_title() to actually work 🙂
