Updates are coming

The boss upgraded one of our clients sites to 4.7 and then gave me the exciting job of making the site load again. 😉

I’m not a wordpress guru but did find a work-around that got our site loading. This is a temporary solution that worked for us until the plugin is updated. I do recommend using the solution provided by the plugin developer once it’s available and reverting changes to category-template.php.

2 files needed to be changed but the first one got the site loading with minor issues.

In file:
wp-content/plugins/cpt-onomies/cpt-onomy.php

I commented out the following line (around line 1448)
changed from:
'post_type' => $taxonomy,
to:
//'post_type' => $taxonomy,

This got our pages loading but we noticed strange results in some of our queries.

I traced this back to what looks like a function that was grabbing cached terms

In this file:
wp-includes/category-template.php

I changed the get_the_terms function (around line 1159). I basically made sure the terms were new instead of using the cache. This may or may not have to be done. It may have been related to me moving the site to another server or something like that.

From:
$terms = get_object_term_cache( $post->ID, $taxonomy );
if ( false === $terms ) {
$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
$term_ids = wp_list_pluck( $terms, ‘term_id’ );
wp_cache_add( $post->ID, $term_ids, $taxonomy . ‘_relationships’ );
}
}

To:
//$terms = get_object_term_cache( $post->ID, $taxonomy );
//if ( false === $terms ) {
$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
$term_ids = wp_list_pluck( $terms, ‘term_id’ );
wp_cache_add( $post->ID, $term_ids, $taxonomy . ‘_relationships’ );
}
//}

Your plugin has been what I’ve been searching for! We can def do more work together! Really need your update!

When is this update coming? My client is using this and it is very frustrating that the checkboxes are still all being checked. Using the dropdown is not an option. Messing with the plugin is not an option. The only option is that the author fix this asap. Please respond with an update on this issue that everyone seems to be having!

Any news? Temp. solution doesn’t work for me.

@akhanukov – this solution worked perfectly for me and I think has much more longevity to it. It only took a few minutes of reprogramming my theme and then a boat load of reassigning each post to a related post, but I feel more comfortable with this permanent solution versus temporary fixes that may break with a new WP update. Thanks!

@raymondolah – yes. i’m running into the same issue with the checked terms.

@bamadesigner — thanks for the reply Rachel. If you cannot replicate the checked terms bug in your dev environment, let me know and I will set you up with admin access to our staging location. Best of luck!

@akhanukov i think i am going to use ACF also, as if future wp updates break the plugin again, it will break the project i am working on which is very big, so i cannot take this risk.
i tried the snippet for bidirectional relationship field, but the example show it between posts in the same CPT, it doesn’t seem to work this way between to different CPT
