You are implying this might not be a bug or an issue to worry about. If someone has deleted a post it means they no longer have a use for it. If a that post needs to be migrated/exported then they probably wouldnt delete it before exporting it. Does that make sense or not?

If i shouldnt be talking to you but instead should be reporting this as a bug elsewhere then can i ask why did you ask me to discuss it with you?

You asked me to explain the situation again but then showed little interest in the issue personally, little interest in whether it gets resolved or not. Maybe its not an issue that personally effects you. But that begs the question why choose to get involved in this support question?

Sure some people might only have a small 6 post website. People like myself have 6 websites which each have 1000s of posts. Having error messages and trying to find a needle in a haystack is the last thing a person needs to do when they are already under alot of pressure.

This apparent lack of understanding/dismissive nature with your response is probably not the positive outcome most people would hope to achieve here.

Is it possible to forward this issue to the wordpress team to fix. Because it slows things down when 99% of people do not want this to happen. Obviously because of its unexpected/hidden action alot of people would be unaware of this issue or would not understand the cause of duplicates.

The warning message is a bug in itself. it is saying a post exists when that post actually is a deleted post.

I thought i was being helpful taking the time to represent users that use the export function regularly. Most people would like common sense to prevail in software design and would definitely appreciate less clicks rather than more clicks in the execution of an action. They would also appreciate warning messages that do not confuse and that are accurate.

Ok thankyou for looking into it but you havent addressed the bug where the wordpress exporter is exporting trashed posts? I would assume this was not intended because when doing a default export without any filters this does not happen.

i should point out the warning message of a duplication occurs because the exporter is including the same trash file in all future exports. This problem only stops if the trash files file expires in the original site or it it is manually deleted. Unfortunately for the user there is no information to show the file in question is a trash file and most people would not assume trash files are being included in an export.

Ok the site in question has 1000 posts and 2 users. User A and User B.

I have 10 posts created by user B and i want to use the wordpress export function in tools to export just posts created by that user. (I assume everyone has the ability to export only posts from a specific user).

If user B has recently deleted a post (lets call it “Post about Holiday”) and left it in the trash the wordpress export tool will include that file in the output. So you have 10 posts exported PLUS this trashed file that shouldnt be in there. (For people who dont know, exporting a post in wordpress creates an xml file. This can be useful as a quick backup or for migrating posts to another wordpress blog).

Everything will seem fine for the user until he/she decides to import the xml file in another wordpress site. After clicking on “import” in the tools folder the xml file appears to have been successfully incorporated into the new site. However a message comes up warning “Post about holiday already exists”.

Having done so many imports and exports over the years i managed to work out this problem only happens if a user has recently put a post in the trash and when only that user’s posts are filtered to be included in the export xml file

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately im not really an expert in wordpress. The plugin you mentioned uses alot of terminology that i dont understand and it would probably take a long time for me to learn it and correct what is a small problem.

Is there a way to use a plugin editor to change the “No comment” text? I have edited plugins before and familiar with the process.

Hi there.

Yeah i have the email address for the theme support but they always ask for my login credentials to fix problems. I prefer to not give them out if possible and just enter the CSS code myself

If i need some custom CSS code created then I guess a freelance programmer is my best bet

Thanks for your help.

Ive found out the cause of the issue. If someone is not using 100% scaling in windows display settings the thumbnails of site will look blurred when using chrome browser. Switching it back to 100% the photos look much better. I assume chrome was not fully optimised for windows 10,

There wasnt a latest category.

i have 100 categories already. if you mean deleting all of them and starting from scratch that is going too far. but thanks for trying to help.

Sorry your answer did not make sense. Check if there is any present. any what?

You cant create a parent category like that. You can only create normal categories or child catergories.

i take it then this request is not possible with the default theme.

I have deleted browsing history and the problem persists. This is probably effecting all users who are using the theme. Its been going on for 2 weeks now. It effects chrome users and opera users but not firefox. large images on the homepage are clear but all the small ones have a slight blur. It looks like either the browser is loading images that are too low resolution or something else.

i have updated the colormag theme to the latest version.

Can you confirm you have tested the site with both firefox and chrome and found the same problem?

Hi there. Well its like switching text from being normal text to a hyperlink. You dont delete the text to remove the hyperlink you just click the hyperlink button to remove the link. Anyone who edits in html would be familiar with this.

There is a hyperlink button for the button block but when you click to undo the hyperlink it messes up.

You didnt help me on the button size issue. So if someone can help that would be appreciated.

If your suggestion is that nothing can be changed and the bugs will stay as they are well thats fine i can switch back to elementor. The only issue with elementor is that it can take longer to load pages and it can be problematic when exporting posts to another site.

I have browser privacy set to ‘standard’. I assume you cant manage cookies if they are deleted in private mode or with saving history turned off. And anyway some computers i dont want to change settings if im not the owner of the computer.

So the problem is apparently unsolvable and noone can fix it? fair enough.

Ok sorry im new to wordpress sites but thanks for the heads up i will try that. I posted this in the wrong section sorry. its about the wp-postratings plugin.

the shortcode is [ratings]. the plugin is working fine with other themes. I know if i change theme it would help but because its a paid theme i would like to try to get it to work if possible.
