Category title shows: private

Hi @wilfried1954,

Are you speaking of the title shown in the browser tab or on the theme page?

I’ve extensively tested this behavior as I also found it to be an issue before version 3.0 of TSF. With that, I believe it was fixed indefinitely.

Nevertheless, if you’re running the latest version of TSF, and you believe this to be an issue with TSF, could you provide me a link to your page so I can investigate?
If you wish to do so confidentially, you can contact me here.

Thanks!

I also found this on my website,Only shown in the first category.

This is a custom post type.

The SEO Framework 3.0.3
WP Version 4.8.5

it is in the category page:

I will make a login for you and email private. Thank you.

Hi @wilfried1954,

Please refrain from sending login info unless explicitly asked for with a few agreements written. It’s a liability (mail hijacking, loss of revenue, etc.) and I don’t want to be subjected to lawsuits.
This means that I’ll never ask for it because I don’t have the time to support 40k+ users in conjunction with legal information. Instead, I will try to replicate your WordPress environment.
So, I must ask you to change the password you sent.

That said, with Health Check, I can get all information I need.
After installing it, you can go to “Dashboard -> Health Check -> Debug Information” and use the copyer. With that information copied, you can send it to me confidentially via the aforementioned contact page ??

While you’re jumping on that ship, I’m going to check the code for any environmental bugs as this is no longer an edge case; because, we have more than 1 report.

Cheers!

Oke, I did misunderstood you. I have sent you the information you asked. Thank you, Wilfried

Hi @wilfried1954,

I’ve investigated the code and tried out mimicking your environment.
Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this issue nor find a direct cause.

So, I’d like to ask a follow-up question:
Does the prefix show as you enter the category edit screen, or after you start adjusting fields?

Thanks!

The prefix show as I enter the category edit screen. There is only one category where this prefix is show.

I do not remember if this prefix was already there before I did edit the category title.

But I also have my whole website in a virtual machine. This because I always test things (like add-ons etc) offline in case something go wrong. In this VM there are a few posts less and this category is not there.

I will add the same new articles and the category in this VM (writing down what I do and make copies of the VM in between). Maybe I find when it shows up.

Please let me know if there are important things I should take care of. I will install the Health Check also in the VM first.

Hi Sybre,

So I did some research. I started with copy of the VM of course. Then I filled in the same articles and adding categories like the website on the internet.

The situation on the VM is now like this: I have a category named in title: Category: huwelijksstelsel

As soon as I start to edit this title it shows: Private: xxx where xxx is what I type. I did not saved the changed title to let the VM in the state the title shows the change.

Can you advice how to debug further? Should I install the health check on the VM and mail it again? Something else you advice to me to try it?

Eventually I can make the VM available for download. It is only 2 GB.

rgds, Wilfried

Hi @wilfried1954, just a sidenote, it is much better to do a test install on some subdomain, compared to VM it is much more accessible and less time consuming.

Hi lebaux, you are right about this.

About the problem, I did not find any reasons. I just deleted the category and add it again. Now I can edit the title just like the other categories.

I’ve escalated this issue to GitHub, where I visually dissected the logic flow and the needed procedure to extract data. Please contribute there for when you find any useful information:

Thank you @wilfried1954 and @weiching-lin for your valuable input on this matter ??

BTW, I do have VMware Workstation. If you can zip the folder containing the .vmdk and .vmx files, then feel free to send me a link to it with instructions to access the site via mail.
But yea, disposable sites on subdomains, like @lebaux suggested, are much more accessible.
