I everyone first of all sorry for my English, not a native speaker here.
I have a problem that is probably WordPress related and not Wp-All-import fault, but this is giving me headache.
I have a custom post (Properties) which has some custom fields, one of it is a true/false checkbox to set the property as featured.
Everything is working fine, the value get updated and is actually visible in the backend, so properties that need to be set as "featured" are actually ok.
The problem is that the posts are not showing on frontend, unless I manually update them, doing so will fix the problem and show the posts correctly.
The website is kind of a mess, we took it over because the client was unhappy with his previous service, and many template files have been changed or commented not following best practice...
I had a similar problem once (well... not really) , where adding terms for a taxonomy (while creating the post or just from the classic taxonomy page) will lead to an infinite loading, that was because of too many blanks space in the functions.php, but this is not the case.
I just don't get what it could be, if manual update is working is it a wp-all-import related problem? But the import is fine, I mean the checkbox is actually set to true....but the posts are not showing unless I manually update them.
Thank you in advance
I would like to add that exact same problem started to happen on one of our sites recently. It all worked fine for better part of two years but since two weeks ago, I have to manually update posts after import to see the changes on frontend.
Edit: I think this might be an issue with Search & Filter Pro cache

there. I’m developing a wordpress site and i’m facing an issue with Advanced Custom Field that I can’t figure out.
I have a category called “nature” and I have create a field using the ACF plugin and set the following rule: POST CATEGORY IS EQUAL TO NATURE.
So, everytime I create a new post and then, inside the post, select the category “nature” at the right bar, it shows the custom fields right away (like ajax or something). The fields just shows. I thought that everything was fine, but there is one important problema with that.
I fill the fields with information, upload images and so on and then I publish. But it doesn’t save the first time I leave the post. It just works fine if I edit the post again and retype and resend all the images and then update the post.
I’ve tried everything, but It just does not work. Can someone help me with that?
Thanks a lot.
UPDATE - it's not the ideal scenario, but it works fine with CLASSIC EDITOR. I think the issue is related to gutenberg since I've seen some people facing the same problem as me.
When I edit my post, no data is added to the taxonomy field (img 1) - although i know that i have chosen a taxonomy for it (img 2). So when i update the post, any previously entered taxonomies are dropped (added taxonomies still update the post, but wont show after update, repeating the mentioned behaviour).
Anyone have the slightest hunch to what would cause the data not to be entered?
I trailed the issue back to a few loops that i use in my edit, apparently there's issues with looping inside loops in posts. I found this https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18408 4 year old unresolved ticket explaining the behaviour. I resolved it by totally circumventing all that is WP loops and straight up querying what i need instead.
This is like an open ended question. I have a wordpess website which use do online shopping. There are items. let say table lamps. They have different prices. I need to update prices time to time. I have updated the prices on wordpress but it is not updated despite the fact that I have already saved the changes.Can you please tell any possible reasons for this issue?
This is most likely a theme or plugin or both that is out of date. You should also check your console for errors. Try updating everything, then try updating the post again. Be sure to back up your site first.
I'm having major problems with this. Basically, I need to add a "url" field to the event management plugin with wordpress. My client wants to be able to add a url to their event so it can be clicked and viewed for more information on the event. I've looked through everything and im having problems understanding the wordpress file structure. I tried to add my own field to the event editor, database and front end but i dont know where wordpress posts the data to so i cant receive the variable. If i could get the variable, i could probably figure out how to use $wpdb relatively simply. but for that matter, i dont know where i should use that. where is the file that makes all those calls? i shouldnt have a problem getting the data from the database.
Edit
My problem, as described, was solved by installing another plugin called PODS. the only solution to adding functionality to a plugin, as in other fields, is to write your own plugin (as far as im aware). PODS solved my problem. It allowed me to add another field to the front of the event management form and saved it to the database. I still had to retrieve it from the database and display it on the front myself with php, but it was a much easier task than i expected it to be. If anybody wants to add extra fields to a plugin in wordpress, PODS is what i'd suggest. It's also free.
I have installed a simple PayPal Cart plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-ultra-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/
Installed just fine. However, when updating a quantity or anything that involves the posting of a form, WordPress returns a 404 error page.
Now, when investigating, I noticed someone mentioned that WordPress has some reserved words for form field names internally.
( http://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-pops-after-custom-form-submission-by-post )
I followed this trail and altered the name fields with Firebug on the fly and post the form.
Everything was post to the current page and it stayed on the same page (as expected) instead of the 404. So it seems that this IS indeed a WordPress issue.
Is there any way I can add exceptions to certain names in WordPress as a setting of some sort? Or if anyone knows a work-around for this plugin, I'd much appreciate it.
Many thanks for your input.
Michael.
EDIT:
Someone has also had this problem. See this thread...
http://www.ultra-prod.com/developpement-support/wp-ultra-simple-paypal-shopping-cart-group3/bugs-errors-help-forum8/404-error-thread76/
Any idea on a solution? I can't simply rename my post type. This is for a website that's already in production and has hundreds of products.
Hope someone can help.
