Potential Bug

    I’ve noticed what may be a potential bug in Uncanny Automator that I want to bring to your attention.

    We have multiple WordPress sites, and on one of them we were using a filter to only do some actions when the post did not have a tag (Post does not have Taxonomy Term)

    The recipe was working fine at that site, but when I went to add it on another site, it thought that every post had the taxonomy term (therefore not triggering the action) even though the posts didn’t.

    After a while, I realized that it seems like the issue was that the taxonomy term didn’t actually exist at the second site. Once I added it as an option (even though it wasn’t on any posts), the recipe started behaving as expected. So, posts that did not have the taxonomy term starting triggering the actions as expected.

    However, I would have expected that filter to work regardless of whether the taxonomy term existed or not. If my filter is that a Post does not have a taxonomy term, if the taxonomy term doesn’t exist on the site, that should count as the post not having a taxonomy term (since it isn’t on the post).

    Thanks @arypneta , we were able to confirm the issue as you described and have fixed it internally. We will include the fix in the next release, but if you do need something sooner let us know and we’ll package something that you can use.

    I will tentatively mark this as resolved, though it won’t be released until the next update.

    Okay, great – thanks for the update!

    The next release is fine, I was able to get it working enough for us with the workaround of creating the tag (without assigning it to any posts).
