Conflict with "Glossary"

The same problem seems to happen also with different glossary plugins.

Seems to happen or happen? Pls use only facts.

@enis, pls provide some screenshots here (use some image uploadin services).

@enis, which theme do you use?

Can you try on another theme?

Genesis.

Can you reproduce the error?

@enis, no, but as I see on standard theme there are another issues.

I think better to contact Glossary authors. I suspect that other “custom post type” plugins also conflicts in same way.

I went ahead and made a clean installation with just Glossary and Psychological tests & quizzes.

It was working fine.

Then I installed Polylang and that created the same problem: tests where listed in glossary terms archive.

Any clue?

@enis, they all could be a source of an issue: this plugin, Glossary, Polylang. Or some of their combination.

You can exclude just this plugin in this way: find some other plugin with so-called “Custom Post Types”, activate it and see if it’s custom post type will behaviour in same way as currnently wp-testing do.

The only custom post types I can see registered in this “clean” installation are:

• Tests
• Glossary Terms

Glossary creates its archive with:

function get_glossary_terms_list( $order, $num, $tax = '' ) {
  if ( $order === 'asc' ) {
    $order = 'ASC';
  }

  $args = array( 'post_type' => 'glossary', 'order' => $order, 'orderby' => 'title', 'posts_per_page' => $num, 'update_post_meta_cache' => false, 'fields' => 'ids' );

  if ( !empty( $tax ) ) {
    $args[ 'tax_query' ] = array(
	  array(
		'taxonomy' => 'glossary-cat',
		'terms' => $tax,
		'field' => 'slug',
	  ),
    );
  }

  $glossary = new WP_Query( $args );
  if ( $glossary->have_posts() ) {
    $out = '<dl class="glossary-terms-list">';
    while ( $glossary->have_posts() ) : $glossary->the_post();
	$out .= '<dt><a href="' . get_glossary_term_url( get_the_ID() ) . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></dt>';
    endwhile;
    $out .= '</dl>';
    wp_reset_query();

    return $out;
  }
}

I checked in the database and the tests are set with “wpt_test” custom post types, whereas the glossary terms are set as “glossary” posts.

I found a solution.

add_filter('pll_get_post_types', 'my_pll_get_post_types');
function my_pll_get_post_types($types) {
	unset ($types['wpt_test']); // you have to replace my-cpt by the name of your custom post type
	return $types;
}

Perhaps it would be beneficial, if you looked into this matter and made your plugin compatible with polylang—and likely some other multilingual plugin—out of the box.

@enis, so you confirm that actual conflict was in polylang here?

Yes, I do.

So, apparently the hack I’ve introduced broke the plugin i18n.

I ditched it and now this problem has reappeared.

I encounter the very same issue with CM Tooltip Glossary: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/enhanced-tooltipglossary/

I opened a support ticket also with the glossary developers: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/conflict-with-psychological-tests-quizzes

Perhaps you could weigh in there.

@enis, you should clearly determine when issue arises:

* wp-testing + glossary + polylang
* wp-testing + glossary
* glossary + polylang
* .. other?

wp-testing + glossary + polylang
and also
wp-testing + CM Tooltip Glossary + polylang

In all other combination everything works.
