Latest version does not work with post preview

Ah! Thanks for the heads-up, folks, and sorry about the delay (I never seem to get notifications until someone mentions my name, annoyingly. Better solve that).

Just fixed in 0.7.25.

Thank’s Michael!

It seems like this issue still exists when using custom post types. It still only happens when trying to preview the drafted posts. Any help would be appreciated.

I confirm, issue exist in 0.7.25, and in my case, it appeared in last version. With old versions I didn’t have any problem.

I have same problem…

WP : 4.5.3
Custom Permalink : 0.7.27

Hi rhk9103, macropolo and Sébastien COLLET

As you guys are saying that the issue is still exist but, i am not able generate this error. I have checked the default post type as well as the custom post type but still unable to generate this error.

Please take some time from your busy schedule and guide me that how i can produce this error. Till then i can not do anything to make this issue as resolved.

Thanks,
Sami

Hi Sami. I just tried few versions, I replaced custom-permalinks.php without deactivating plugin. When I upload 0.7.24 everything works perfect, but when I upload 0.7.25 or higher previews not working and instead I see 404. Previews work with posts in any version, problem appear with page preview and custom post type preview.

Hi Sami
do you want an WP admin access to a local copy of the site ?

Hi macropolo and Sébastien COLLET,

Thanks for your reply.

macropolo, As you said i have created sample page with the title “Draft Page”
and save it as draft. After i click on the preview button so, it shows the following permalink “https://www.example.com/?page_id=22&preview=true” and show the correct data but when i try to access https://www.example.com/draft-page so, it gives me the 404.

This is exactly you guys are saying?

Sébastien COLLET, Yes i want the WP admin access to view the issue. If you hve any dev server so, kindly provide me the access for the time being so, just i can check issue there.

Thanks,
Sami

This is exactly you guys are saying?

Yes, I suppose.

I create page
https://www.example.com/foo
save it as draft, and when I press “Preview” I see it without problems
https://www.example.com/?page_id=4779&preview=true

Then, if I change url for something different, for example
https://www.example.com/foobar
link in for preview became
https://www.example.com/foobar&preview=true
and since then I see 404, because url redirect to https://www.example.com/foobar

I found the piece of code that causes this issue

From line 187:

if ( $posts[0]->post_status == 'draft' ) {
      $originalUrl = "?p=" . $posts[0]->ID;
    } else {
      $originalUrl =  preg_replace( '@/+@', '/', str_replace( trim( strtolower($posts[0]->meta_value),'/' ),
                    ( $posts[0]->post_type == 'page' ?
                        custom_permalinks_original_page_link($posts[0]->ID)
                        : custom_permalinks_original_post_link($posts[0]->ID) ),
                     strtolower($request_noslash) ) );
    }
  }

When I replace this part in lastest version with old code from v 0.7.24 previews of pages works.

Old code:

$originalUrl =  preg_replace( '@/+@', '/', str_replace( trim( strtolower($posts[0]->meta_value),'/' ),
                  ( $posts[0]->post_type == 'page' ?
                      custom_permalinks_original_page_link($posts[0]->ID)
                      : custom_permalinks_original_post_link($posts[0]->ID) ),
                   strtolower($request_noslash) ) );

But, also I found out that previews of posts not working with old code.

So with version 0.7.24 I can preview pages, but not posts. And in version 0.7.25 and higher I can preview posts, but not pages.
