primary category not working and showing in red

    Hello,

    We are on the current version 2.2.8 and seem to be having an issue with our primary categories not working anymore and showing up in red in the admin interface on the list of Posts page. The primary category is also indenting in the Categories box from the Edit Post page, something we don’t normally see.

    I tried rolling the plugin back to 2.2.2 but that didn’t do anything.

    The styles seem to be coming from the load-styles.php in the wp-admin folder (not sure if that helps).

    This happened to us once before and it was the interaction between another plugin which we disabled and it then seemed to fix. I’ve tried to disable all the plugins but nothing seems to be fixing it.

    Thanks so much in advance,
    Donna

    Hi,

    Can you provide a screenshot? Also, does the plugin work normally otherwise? It’s only a visual glitch?

    Hi,

    Thanks so much for replying. The plugin is currently not working at all. The category that is supposed to be primary is in red instead of bold, but none of the associated functionality is working anymore.

    I am not sure how to send a screenshot to this response, but here is a link to it: https://donnatremonte.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Posts-admin.png (BTW, this isn’t the website having the issue).

    Thanks again!

    Hi again,

    Any thoughts? Primary category is broken on our site so all the relationships are currently gone. I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting?

    Thank you in advance,

    Hello Donna,

    We will look into this. Actually we are doing a total revamp of the plugin right now and we will add more options. We need a few days for that so please wait ?? Meanwhile I can’t really provide any solution. Also, the plugin you have downloaded is supposed to work very well already so I think you should try another theme just to see if the problem is related to that. It looks like your theme is adding some stuff in the admin screens. But not sure, right now, it’s just a guess.

    That’s exciting about the plugin updates. And OK, I will look into potential admin and theme fixes. Thanks!

    Hi Jordy,

    I just figured it out, it’s the new Yoast SEO plugin “Make Primary” functionality that is interacting with your plugin. I added the following to the functions.php file:

    /**
 * Disable the WPSEO v3.1+ Primary Category feature.
 */
add_filter( 'wpseo_primary_term_taxonomies', '__return_empty_array' );

    And now it seems to be working again.

    One other note, I have to go back in and re-set all of the primary category links, but now things seem to be functioning again.
