Manageable: Automatically Marking Posts/Pages “Private”

    Thanks for the very helpful plugin.

    I started using it with version 0.9.6 — without problems for two days. Then, I can’t be sure if the problem began with the most recent update I downloaded today (0.9.8) or the one before that (0.9.7.) because I don’t think I used the 0.9.7. version the only day it was out.

    So now, when I click on “Save”, the “Private” checkbox gets automaticaly checked, and the post/page will be saved as such — I then have to go into edit the post normally to change the private setting. This obviously renders the plugin pointless.

    An unrelated suggestion: It would be helpful if all of the fields were labeled (and maybe even stood out, like bold), similar to how “Parent” and “Slug” currently are.

    Thanks!

    That is definitely a bug that sneaked into the last release (and it does render the plugin useless). I’ll get that fixed soon.

    The reason not all fields have labels is because there are the column labels (date, title, author). I didn’t want to be redundant especially since I was working with such a compact area.

    Thanks for the feedback! Be looking for an update.

    1) Looking forward to the fix.

    2) I understand what you said regarding the redundancy of labels. However, this assumes that the column labels are lining up with the fields. Which, in my case at least, are not… which makes it actually kind of confusing. For instance: on the Manage:Posts page — if I double click a row, the table expands to accomodate the ‘Manageable’ fields. The table’s header (where the column labels live) expands to the right and actually overshoots the div #wphead by about 80px or so. In doing this, the columns are completely out of line with the fields… the fields so that the column “Categories” aligns with the “Tags” field… oh snap! As I’m typing this, I realize that this specific issue is related to another plugin that adds the Post/Page ID column back into WP 2.5. Soooooo…. nevermind on this…. although, it would be super cool to make your plugin work with this other one.

    3) Something else happened last night and I am not sure if it is related to your plugin or not. But it did happen while using it. 1st — I rolled back your plugin to 0.9.6 to avoid the “private” issue. Then I began editing pages using the plugin from the Manage:Pages page. I was changing “parent” pages. After I had changed some 25 pages, I went to my site and refreshed to see the changes… and found that all the pages I had changed been converted to posts! I had to go into MySql to change them all back.

    Thanks again for your work!

    1. The fix is up
    2. That’s good to know. What’s the name of the plugin you’re using? I’ll work on getting that to display properly.
    3. Yikes! You’re using WP 2.5 correct (not 2.5.1)? Try this latest version and let me know if the post_types get changed. This bug is probably related to another bug that I fixed in 0.9.8.

    The name of the plugin is: Restore Post ID http://nickohrn.com/wordpress-restore-id-plugin

    I’m on 2.5.1 — Your plugin notes say 2.5 or above, so I figured 2.5.1 was ‘above’, therefore ok?

    I’ll download the fix. Thanks!
