WIdgets error

Hi @newtlabs,
we’re sorry for the problem you are expeiencing.
We are trying to reproduce the problem but it seems that we need a bit more information:
– which version of WordPress are you using?
– Do you use any plugin or theme that can be interfering in the Widgets screen, e.g. by providing custom widgets?
– Did you upgrade to Yoast Duplicate Post 4.3 from a previous version? If so, did the problem start with the upgrade?

Thank you for your help and for reporting this!

Hi @newtlabs,
I’ve looked at the theme’s page and I see it’s using WPBakery Page Builder. Can you do a quick test of me by disabling that and let me know if the problem still happens? If so, I think we have found where the conflict lies and I can start investigation about the solution…

Thanks for your help!

Hi @newtlabs,
I think I found where the problem lies:
in the file ajzaa/inc/vcomposer/vc_elements/wd-blog.php the lines 6-8 are:

foreach ( $ajzaa_posts as $key => $post ) {
	$ajzaa_posts_array[$post->post_title] = $post->ID;
}

Unfortunately this loop sets the value for the global $post. This triggers the loading of a Yoast Duplicate Post JS script where it’s not supposed to run.
If you can, the problem above should be reported to the theme’s authors because it might create a bunch of other problems, not just with our plugin. The solution shoud be simple, just by renaming the temporary $post variable.

On our side, we’ll improve the checks thet we perform to avoid such failures in similar contexts. But I’m afraid that due to holidays etc. we can’t ship a new version until mid January.

Thank you so much for reporting this!
