Major Bug

P.S. I just tried deactivating NoOptin plugin, problem went away. Reactivated, problem returned. Wondering if this is a bug with the recent update? I will have to keep it deactivated for now but appreciate a reply as soon as possible. thanks

Bit more checking and it ONLY happens to that one page, all other nav links connect to their proper URLs fine. This one just gets that weird ‘injection’ in the middle of the URL

Really grateful for a reply here. It’s breaking my site, and even with the plugin deactivated the page is still broken now. So if anyone clicks on my main nav option (to main article of the whole site), they get a page with that weird URL and all it says on the page is:

“You do not have permission to view this campaign”

if I deactivate the plugin, the SAME FAULTY URL is used, but the on page just says 404, page not found.

Please help

Hi,

Could you please try re-saving your settings via Settings > Permalinks and let me know if the problem disappears.

Hi thanks for replying.

Not entirely sure what you mean so to clarify..

I should go to WP Settings (not plugin settings), Permalinks, and just hit the save button on that page? I can do that if you think it may help ??

ok I did that, I THINK it has solved it yes! I will know after a bit more testing and after I published a new page, but fingers crossed that worked. I’d be interested to know what caused it, if you can explain in layman’s terms?!

thanks again

Hi @mjtscott,

No problem. This process is often referred to as “flushing the permalinks.”

When you do this, WordPress regenerates the .htaccess file and updates the permalink structure for your site. It’s a sort of “reset” that can resolve various issues, especially those related to accessing new or updated pages and post types

The reason this can fix such problems is that sometimes the permalink structure gets “stuck” or encounters conflicts, particularly after updates, new plugin installations, or changes in settings. This can lead to errors or issues when WordPress tries to find the correct path to a page or post.

By re-saving the permalinks, you’re essentially telling WordPress to take another look at how it’s organizing and accessing your content, which can clear up these issues.

I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Wow, thanks very much I didn’t know that but will bookmark this for the future! Yep everything working nicely again. thanks!
