Actually it seems this problem is specific to my MYSQL versions, built in 5.6 and deploying on 5.5 (collation errors). Annoying, not much I can do about that now! Will try the workarounds and hopefully one works ??

Still interested to hear why this plugin produces the only table that doesn’t use utf8mb4 though?

I’ve just done a deployment using Duplicator, from one utf8mb4_unicode_ci mysql server to another.

After ‘install’ I was sent straight to the language selection screen as if I’d never installed WordPress before. I’ve just checked the (new) database and all it contains is ‘wp_duplicator_packages’, which, looking at the database.sql file the plugin generates is the only ‘utf8’ charset table in my db.

So two questions:

1. Why was only the UT8 charset table installed?
2. Why is the ‘wp_duplicator_packages’ table utf8 and not utf8mb4_unicode… ?

I haven’t managed to resolve the issue, just playing with trial and error now. I haven’t had the issue before so I suspect it’s something to do with the destination server, which is one I haven’t used this plugin with. (Webfaction, for the record)

@bcworkz

This is really helpful advice and has helped me form an idea of how to approach the problem in my head – thank you again for your time and I’ll be sure to head back here if I run into any issues!

Hello @bcworkz,thank you for taking the time to respond.

It sounds like you’ve understood my needs correctly.

Each post (this is a custom post type, incidentally) will be displayed in its entirety on the archive page, and so the permalink in this case will more likely be a hash – there will be no ‘single’ page utilised for the posts.

My example should probably have been:

domain.tld/archive/#post

On the subject of annoying messages, is there any way to get rid of the email collection from the admin console? (i.e. .frash-notice-email). I’ve hidden it for my client using CSS for now but would rather avoid workarounds if possible.

Dismissing the notice doesn’t seem to be remembered.

Also, while I’m here, is there any way to buy a license to Smush only? I’d rather do away with all the up-sell and have no issue supporting the developers of the plugin, but I really have no need for the full $50p/m package.

Hi micropat,

I tracked down the troublesome javascript – not a WordPress plugin, it was actually fastclick that was causing the issue. I’m guessing this extension was causing the event to fire too fast, before your plugin could intercept it.

It’s not something I’m going to be debugging further (I’ll just remove that extension), but if you have any advice based on that revelation I’m all ears!

Thanks again,

Nathan

Thanks for the response!

I’ll have a play tomorrow morning, however I’ve just looked over the installed plugins and I’d be surprised if any of them interfered with touch events – you never know! I didn’t build the site so there could be a javascript gremlin in there somewhere.

Interestingly if I select the universal share button, and select one of the social services via that menu, then it works as expected. It’s only when I use the individual social buttons that it doesn’t work (and so far only on iOS).

It’s also a bad habit to mark an issue resolved before it has been resolved ??

Just to add that this appears to be the case in both iOS 7 and iOS 10, so it’s not an issue specific to a certain version of Safari. Haven’t been able to test on Android.

Update

This morning I installed a fresh copy of the plugin into a fresh WordPress (4.4). All I added to the functions file was 2 custom post types and a simple connection using this plugin.

Interestingly it worked absolutely fine.

So the issue, I’m assuming, is due to one of the following:

– Something didn’t update properly when wordpress updated.
– The plugin only doesn’t work correctly when interacting with another plugin.

@themoutch What other plugins are you currently using?

The site we’re having an issue with only has:

– Advanced Custom Fields
– Advanced Custom Fields: Date and Time Picker
– Posts 2 Posts
– ZenCache

I tried turning off ZenCache and it didn’t have an effect – turning the other fields off would involve a bit more preparation in a dev environment so I haven’t tried it just yet. Although even if that resolved the problem I’m not sure what it’d tell me (as I still need those plugins).

I’m experiencing the same issue – the plugin seems to no longer get posts from the defined post type. In my case I’m connecting two custom post types, but all that shows up in the search box is standard posts (so not all posts, just posts of a type ‘post’),

The developer no longer supports the plugin, so anyone able to point me in a helpful direction it’d be appreciated.
