Are you confusing the Related Post field with the External URL field? The Related Post field presents you with a dropdown menu of WordPress posts that you select from (or you select the option to create a new post).
The details for the related show will indeed appear in that post, but that is based on your Related Post settings in your GigPress Settings.
Ahh I see.
I think what I want is the External Url.. that seems to do what I expected.
On the Related Posts useage:
I do not get a drop down of WP Posts.
The drop down window opens with:
None
Add A New Post (when that is clicked i do get the
%artist% in %city% on %date% line
but
then a lot of notes I have made that make no sense in this dialog, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete them as they have nothing to do with this plugin.??
And while we are here, there is another function that baffles me.
I go to shows – pick a show to edit – edit it – click save.
I would assume I would see the show I just saved, instead I am back at the New Show page and if i want to go back to show i edited, I have to go back to all shows ..etc
Is that normal?
Thanks for your help. I hope to figure this out soon.
The dropdown menu should be a list of WordPress posts. It’s for associating a show with an existing post.
Yes, you end up back on the shows list after editing a show.
Ok, well that is not what I am getting, although I just installed gigpress a few days ago, all the posts were already on the site not added after the install.
I did add one today but that doesn’t show up either.
can i send you an email with screen shot ?
Also, not getting the gigpress feed?
what I get is:
ERROR: This is not a valid feed template.
The site Rss feed brings up a dialog to subscribe to different feeds.
On the drop down menu for related posts, I think i have found my problem:
It is reading notes from this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-dashboard-notes
even notes I thought I had deleted.
But still there are no Post Links in that field.
curious.
I just pushed an update which should fix the Related Posts issue – I see now that anything and everything is getting thrown into wp_posts – previously I was excluding pages only.
As for the feed, that’s a new one for me. Could be another plugin interfering with the rewrite rules for custom feeds.
This thread has been silent for quite a while. Thus I’m going to go ahead and close it as Resolved.
Please feel free to open a new thread if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂
Cheers,
