Thanks for letting me know
@nickchomey – have you got time to look at this?

That seems fairly serious and likely related to modifications I made, so I’ll try to look at it soon.
(for clarity, the modifications were to allow for updating the topic when you update the post – which didn’t happen previously. It should just be a minor tweak to fix this issue.)

Thank you very much Nick. Maybe consider to introduce this as option to enable or disable inside the discussion settings.

To clarify, what would you want the option to be? The way it is supposed to be working (but apparently isn’t) is that when you update a post, its associated topic will have its information updated as well to reflect whatever changes were made to title, content, author, etc…
When I fix whatever this bug is (and I think I’ve found it), is that not a desirable behavior for all users such that an option isn’t necessary?

I think I’ve fixed it. The plugin has some… legacy quirks… and does some weird things, one of which is *sometimes* retrieving a string rather than an integer for a post_ID, which messed up the logic I added for updating posts. I’ve made a few tiny tweaks and it should be robust now.
Can you try replacing the index.php file with this one and test it out?

I can confirm that your new index.php does fix the issue with duplicated topics inside the forum. However for some reason when i update the post the update button is getting busy and does not recover from this state.
I can only reload the page.

Glad to hear it is fixed. @robin-w could you replace index.php with the version linked above and push a new update?
I’ve had that frozen Update post problem before – long before I ever used this plugin. I don’t think I ever figured out what the issue was, but it resolved itself. Perhaps turn on debug mode and checking the debug.log file will provide some useful info? https://themeisle.com/blog/wordpress-error-log-debug/
Also, does it happen when you disable this plugin?
Finally, this appears to be relevant and has some good suggestions. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/117308/post-page-publish-update-button-not-clickable-once-i-make-an-edit
Ill check it later again. Maybe it´s also a browser related / caching thing. Thank you and of course i very appreciate your instant fix / help.
Keep it going and stay save.
Good Bye!

Ok. If you find that disabling this plugin fixes the problem, let us know and we can see if we can help. But I’d be surprised if that is the case.
I looked around a bit more and some people suggest it might be something to do with the URLs in Settings->General. Make sure the WordPress address and Site Address are matching. Also, if you are using SSL, make sure they are https.
And yes, it might be browser/caching as well. A different browser or clearing cache might work.
Good luck!
