Hello janavar23,

Thank you for your interest in WPSiteSync.

This is not a cache issue. When we synchronize content, we store in the database the Source site and Target site post IDs. This way, subsequent Push operations will re-use the same post IDs. If you’ve changed the post title and/or slug, it’s still the same post ID so it will continue.

To clear this, you can remove the entry in the wp_spectrom_sync table where the target_content_id column matches the post ID on the Target site. You will have to do this on both the Source and Target sites.

As an alternative, if you don’t want to work in the database, you can change the WPSiteSync configuration and set the “Optionally remove Settings and Tables on plugin uninstall” to “Yes, remove all settings and data on uninstall.” Then, deactivate the plugin, delete the plugin, and then re-install the plugin. Again, you will need to do this on both the Source and Target sites. This will clear the database tables, removing the post ID associations.

If this does not resolve your issue, feel free to contact our support team at https://serverpress.com/contact/ and submit a ticket there.

We are working on a fix for the issue that causes this, the “same slug, but different parents” issue you referenced. We will be releasing this with our next update but we do not have an expected date for this yet. We will update this issue here in the support forums when we do release it. And if you contact us we can let you know via email.

All the best,
The ServerPress Team

Hi whanklee,

Sorry to hear that you’re still having problems.

Let’s make sure we’re looking in the right place. While on your Source site, can you open up the “Inspector” tool in your browser and go the the “Console” tab? This is the Javascript console. When you click on the “Push to Target” button, you’re probably seeing a big, ugly, red error message in the console. Please copy and paste this message into your next reply.

It’s probably mentioning a error in sync.js line 460. If that’s the case, the Javascript files may be cached by your browser. You need the new versions of these files. Try refreshing the page by holding down the Shift key and pressing F5 or clicking on the Reload button, also while still holding down the Shift key. This will force new copies of JS and CSS files to be downloaded. Then try again and see if it still doesn’t work. If it’s still not working we can use the copy/paste of the error message from the Javascript Console to diagnose the problem and get you a fix.

All the best,
The ServerPress Team

Hello whanklee,

There is a small Javascript problem that we noticed with one of the more recent releases of Gutenberg last month and those changes are also in the latest WP 5.5 release. We have an interim fix that you can download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fykiu23y0j3v30z/wpsitesynccontent.1.6.1b.zip?dl=1 if you don’t want to wait for our next release in the WP repo. The next release is coming soon, but we can’t give an exact date just yet.

If you do notice any issues with the interim release, please let us know via our contact form at https://serverpress.com/contact/

All the best,

Hi Francis,

Thank you for your interest in WPSiteSync.

Currently, WPSiteSync only Pushes from one Source site to one Target site. We are developing an add-on that will allow Pushing to multiple Target sites, but we do not have a date for that release.

All the best,

Hello divixmu,

For some reason our support form didn’t forward the email to our support ticket system. We’ve found your support request and are replying to that email.

The code you’re showing above would reset the post_date to the current date/time, each time you Push the content. And it sounds like that’s what you are describing.

For others that may be interested, the following code will modify the post_date, adding for example, two hours.

add_action( ‘spectrom_sync_push_content’, ‘sync_update_post_date’, 10, 3 );
function sync_update_post_date( $target_post_id, $post_data, $response )
{
$new_post_date = DateTime::createFromFormat( ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, $post_data[‘post_date’] );
// adjust DateInterval as necessary to change the post date
$new_post_date->add( new DateInterval(‘PT2H’) ); // T=time H=hours- add two hours to post_date
wp_update_post( array(
‘ID’ => $target_post_id,
‘post_date’ => $new_post_date->format( ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’ )
));
}

All the best,
