Quick Edit not working (and problem located)

Just noticed that removing the line “check_admin_referer” would cause another issue, that is, custom meta will be erased after you click on ‘Update’ in ‘Quick Edit’ mode.

A workaround (no sure if it’d cause other problem though…), is to add

|| ( $_POST['action'] == 'inline-save' )

after line 426 of

inc/classes/meta-box.php

In this case, the ‘save_post’ filter will not be applied when user quick edit a post.

Still, waiting for official update from the plugin author to solve this problem.

I click on “Quick Edit” and nothing happens.
Then when I go to edit page and try change visibility, I click on ‘edit’ next to word ‘private’ and page jumps but nothing else happens.
This is after updating wordpress this morning. Have a backup but am hoping for a fix instead.

I believe the correct fix is to add the check for inline-save as mingyeungs suggests above. But you should leave in the check_admin_referer line to prevent unauthorized edits to your pages.

The problem is that the meta-box save_post function is called on a quick edit, but the rwmb-save nonce is not created, nor are the fields populated in memory. So the save_post function must quit without checking the nonce and without updating the fields to prevent their being blanked out.

Fixed in version 4.2.4.
