regression: ignore_sticky_posts is ignored

seems that wptouch handles its homepage redirection separately from its header-link, correctly outputting the url in the latter case & url-encoding the former:-\

i’ll take it up with wptouch, as r2u is functioning as expected.

?? wptouch seems to be afraid to touch sticky posts. I hope they will be able to help.

no, unfortunately, wptouch isn’t very responsive to their forum:-\

as i said, i believe the issue is their handling of their landing page redirection, html-encoding it, causing r2u to miss parameters, which means i can’t debug it:-\

also can u explain this usage?

if ( isset( $_GET['rutpdebug'] ) ) {
      $this->debug_messages = array();
      $this->debug_mode = (int) $_GET['rutpdebug'];
      if ( 0 == $this->debug_mode ) {
        $this->debug_mode = 1;
      }
...
}

debug_mode always =1? and then in

private function redirect() {
    if ( $this->debug_mode ) {
...
      $this->output_debug_messages();

i’m missing something…

The debugging is set in line 102.

Or did you mean the sticky posts? In line 468 you find retrieve_get_parameters() . There you could manually add $_GET['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 0; right at the beginning.

i’m just confused by the use of
1264 if ( ! $this->debug_mode )
when it’s set to 1 if 0:

108      if ( 0 == $this->debug_mode ) {
110        $this->debug_mode = 1;

gotta go deliver meals-on-wheels now;-)

0: off (parameter not used)
1: on (parameter comes without value, or with 1)
2: on with more details

This is for backwards compatibility. The option with 2 was added later.

ah, ok, presence===1

unfortunately, i just hardcoded
379 'ignore_sticky_posts' => false,
and both wptouch & desktop still display latest post instead of sticky post for
https://bostoncamerata.org/?redirect_to=latest but works as expected for
https://bostoncamerata.org/?redirect_to=latest&ignore_sticky_posts=0
i can’t seem to catch a break:-\
here’s output for
https://bostoncamerata.org/?redirect_to=latest&ignore_sticky_posts=0&rutpdebug=2

We use redirect_to=latest.

which is as expected.

also as expected.

but using the default ignore_sticky_posts hard-coded to false
https://bostoncamerata.org/?redirect_to=latest&rutpdebug=2

We use redirect_to=latest.

which is NOT ignoring stickies:-\

just tried cache=0, still not taking the default of ignore_sticky_posts=>false:
https://bostoncamerata.org/?redirect_to=latest&rutpdebug=2&cache=0
returns:

We use redirect_to=latest.
Query parameters:
array(8) {
  ["fields"]=>
  string(3) "ids"
  ["ignore_sticky_posts"]=>
  bool(false)     // note default

  ["orderby"]=>

which is not sticky:-\

cache=0 is also hardcoded? You could also define the constant CHATTY_MANGO_RUTP_CACHE in your wp-config.php and set it to zero.

Anyway, the cache should consider the sticky post parameter. You just need to hardcode it before we create the key for the cache.

I don’t know where you hardcoded that sticky post parameter. Please note that (as we discovered earlier) the query needs 'fields' => 'all' for sticky posts to work. I see that you often use "ignore_sticky_posts" => false together with "fields" => "ids". So if you want sticky posts, you must also set $this->request_post_objects = true;. (l. 490-494) (We cannot request always objects because another user reported a memory problem and for random posts we have to use all posts, so here we need IDs.)

ok, thanx

i’ve worked around this problem by setting wpt’s landing page to an existing page, then on the existing page setting a quick-redirect to /?redirect_to=latest&ignore_sticky_posts=0
