One curious thing I notice is that there are error_log statements in a few places, so I can see a log file created when a page is requested. * But I don’t see any log file created when the back button is pressed. * So you might assume that the back button is depending entirely on the browser cache. But that doesn’t really make sense, because when you press the back button, you see a different version of the previous page – the shortcode on the page was not executed, so you see the shortcode itself printed on the page. So if we’re seeing this page with the shortcode printed – why is there no error log? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Adminbar not appearing on main pages of site regardless of theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adminbar-not-appearing-on-main-pages-of-site-regardless-of-theme/) * [shawmutsteve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawmutsteve/) * (@shawmutsteve) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adminbar-not-appearing-on-main-pages-of-site-regardless-of-theme/#post-3467256) * This exact issue is happening to me. I tar’d up my multisite installation and moved it to a different server – but on WP 3.5.1. * I suspect htaccess as well. But no luck yet. Please let us all know if you figure it out. * Thank you Steve * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [add_post_meta _wp_page_template no longer sets dynamic page template](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_post_meta-_wp_page_template-no-longer-sets-dynamic-page-template/) * Thread Starter [shawmutsteve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawmutsteve/) * (@shawmutsteve) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_post_meta-_wp_page_template-no-longer-sets-dynamic-page-template/#post-2815691) * Yes – but I’m looking for a way to SET the page template that actually works in 3.4. * And my pages are dynamic – they have fake post ids that do not actually exist in wp_posts or in wp_postmeta. * I am using a method to force a page template that is documented in the Codex help, but it’s no longer working in 3.4. 🙁 * Thanks Steve * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-Invoice - Web Invoice and Billing] [Plugin: WP-Invoice – Web Invoice and Billing] Not quite ready for for my needs..

I cannot find it. * As for WP-Invoice – I love the idea and usability. But it looks like Authorize. NET (ARB) recurring invoicing is not really supported, even though the [website](https://usabilitydynamics.com/products/wp-invoice/) leads you to believe it is. According to multiple forum posts, it just sends out email at the recur interval. The credit card is not charged 🙁 * Also – when creating an invoice, I don’t understand two things: * – why is ‘Send Invoice’ (under the ‘Recurring Bill’ checkbox) there? I don’t want an email sent. This is (in my usage model) an ARB charge auto-generated by Authorize.net ARB, not by WP-Invoice. * – why doesn’t ‘Billing Cycles’ (also under the ‘Recurring Bill’ checkbox) have a hint to help you understand how to say ‘infinite’. I have invoices I want to send every month until the customer cancels. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [update_post_meta( $id, '_wp_page_template', '_myTemplate') working inconsistentl](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/) * Thread Starter [shawmutsteve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawmutsteve/) * (@shawmutsteve) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/#post-2348453) * Hi * I cannot tell you that you are creating the post incorrectly, but it is different from how I am creating mine. I’m using this [http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/g-lock-double-opt-in-manager/trunk/fakepage.php](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/g-lock-double-opt-in-manager/trunk/fakepage.php) as guidance. * I did notice that you pass **$my_account_post** to **update_post_meta()** . I think you need to change this to **$my_account_post[0]->ID** (which of course you’ll need to set). * Good luck ! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [update_post_meta( $id, '_wp_page_template', '_myTemplate') working inconsistentl](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/) * Thread Starter [shawmutsteve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawmutsteve/) * (@shawmutsteve) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/#post-2348281) * Figured it out. * For this one page that my plugin was creating, WP was considering it a single post (is_single === true). Therefore, even though I was setting the template via update_post_meta, it was quietly being ignored in favor in template-loader. php with the value of get_single_template(). * The fix is simple -> set $wp_query->is_single when creating the post. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [update_post_meta( $id, '_wp_page_template', '_myTemplate') working inconsistentl](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/) * Thread Starter [shawmutsteve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawmutsteve/) * (@shawmutsteve) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/#post-2348239) * This is increasingly fascinating. Your suggestion of using `add_post_meta` ** worked** for the Property Details page, but still doesn’t work for the Control Panel page. * This is a three shower problem, I think. * Thanks so much – good progress ! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [update_post_meta( $id, '_wp_page_template', '_myTemplate') working inconsistentl](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/) * Thread Starter [shawmutsteve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawmutsteve/) * (@shawmutsteve) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update_post_meta-id-_wp_page_template-_mytemplate-working-inconsistentl/#post-2348220) * Hi Marventus * $posts is an array of exactly one item: ‘ID’ => -1 * As I mentioned, this works for some of my pages. I’m not thinking that this code is faulty, but rather there are characteristics of WP template selection logic that I’m not fully understanding. So I’m really just looking for more debug to turn on to figure out what WP is doing behind the scenes. * Thanks ! Steve Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)
