Kai thanks for your help, seen the response you gave to other users.
This is a strange one. What column was it you edited, I assume it was not a key/ID value column? The MySQL UPDATE query will update the record which holds the value in the WHERE part of the query. That value is usually unique. What your saying would need 2 CSV rows to have the same ID value, if things were working properly.
I can’t think how this could happen so it could take a while to track down. There is more manual ability in updating, coming in next version. So hopefully those recent improvements help.
Suppose this one needs to stay Un-Resolved for now 🙂 Could take a while to confirm the issue.
Hello Ryan,
thanks for your answer. Maybe I don´t use the function in the correct way
Never read the manual 😉
My approach was to change one field of one row by doing an update with phpmyadmin.
I only changed the ZIP Code of one town.
After that I start a manual update of the post by entering its WP id in the manual update field.
The post was updated, but not to its new zip code. A completely new unused record was used to populate the post.
After that I generate 5 new posts and the same dataset was used again for a new post.
After that I had a look in the table and found:
The reference to the old post was still there and unchanged.
The content of the post in WP was NOT the content of the data row.
The reference of the new post was correct to the new post with the content. The same content was on the old post.
Strange!
If you want I can grant you access to my live server to check it there..
Regards,
Kai
I done some work on the Update Specific Post procedure. Great improvement and a fix that should only update a post using the record used to make it.
If that record for any reason, no longer exists. A warning will be displayed. Zara has been running some tests and found using this panel always done what it should now.
Kai make sure you get a copy of the next premium edition version from me. Thanks a lot for bringing this one to my attention.
Hello Ryan,
I will look forward to get the copy of premium edition by email.
I´m curious right now to test all the new functions!
thank you again!
Regards,
kai
