So I updated Legenda in an attempt to resolve some other issues. They were resolved, but new ones arose. I have a page with a Post Grid, it worked great after updating VC and before the 2.11 theme update. Now, something is screwing with the links for each Post Grid item. (Page: http://www.familymissionscompany.com/missionaries)

The data source for the grid is etheme-portfolio. The “Add Link” Grid Element setting is “Post Link”. Worked great before the update. Now, when you click on a grid item it goes straight to the 404 page because something has jacked up the urls for the individual portfolios.
Example: “Missionary Unlisted” shows up in the grid. The correct url for this page is https://www.familymissionscompany.com/portfolio/missionaryunlisted/
The url that the grid is linking to when you click Missionary Unlisted is https://www.familymissionscompany.com/project/missionaryunlisted/ which is not a real page, and means we have a whole grid of things essentially linking to our 404 page.

What’s even weirder, if I go to edit the Missionary Unlisted project (it’s post type is listed as Project, portfolio or etheme_portfolio aren’t options) the permalink on the Edit page is listed as the incorrect url, i.e. showing “/project/” in the link path instead of “/portfolio/” which is crazy because that url goes nowhere.

Maybe a post-type issue? I don’t know what’s causing this but I need a solution asap. Thanks!

Hello,

Here is the screenshot of the “Missionary Unlisted” page http://prntscr.com/ab0j0o. The page is working fine.
Note that portfolio posts type have link with slug “project” by default not “portfolio”.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

After messing with the page for an hour or two and then coming back to it later, it is functioning properly like you said, praise the Lord! I wish I had taken screenshots of all the urls showing a “portfolio” slug, because it totally happened. So crazy.

Okay, so while the page was functioning inexplicably for a few weeks this same issue has now resurfaced and the page in question has not been working for a few days.

To recap, this is what is happening again:

“The data source for the grid is etheme-portfolio. The “Add Link” Grid Element setting is “Post Link”. Worked great before the update. Now, when you click on a grid item it goes straight to the 404 page because something has jacked up the urls for the individual portfolios.
Example: “Missionary Unlisted” shows up in the grid. The correct url for this page is https://www.familymissionscompany.com/portfolio/missionaryunlisted/
The url that the grid is linking to when you click Missionary Unlisted is https://www.familymissionscompany.com/project/missionaryunlisted/ which is not a real page, and means we have a whole grid of things essentially linking to our 404 page.

What’s even weirder, if I go to edit the Missionary Unlisted project (it’s post type is listed as Project, portfolio or etheme_portfolio aren’t options) the permalink on the Edit page is listed as the incorrect url, i.e. showing “/project/” in the link path instead of “/portfolio/” which is crazy because that url goes nowhere.”

Screenshots:

URL in status bar at bottom showing “project slug”, clicking takes you to 404 page

The ACTUAL page, see “portfolio” slug in URL

Same page from Dashboard side, if you click the permalink or “View Page” it sends you to the 404 page

Hello,

I’ve updated permalinks settings in WP Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and now projects links are working. Clear browser cache and check.

It’s working, thank you! Did you have to change the permalink setting to “Post Name”? What was the original setting?

Hello,

Permalink setting has been set to “Postname” before. I didn’t change it, I just re-saved the settings and that’s all.

This issue has resurfaced. Re-saving the permalinks settings has resolved it, but am I doomed to resetting them on a regular basis or is there something that can be done to prevent this problem?

Yes, it is working – it started working after I resaved the permalinks settings this morning. But my question is will I have to do this all the time or is there a way to stop this from happening?

It was a holiday, so in the past week since you initially resolved the problem I haven’t done more to the site than add a blog post, but over the weekend I got multiple reports from our users that the page in question wasn’t working again. So this morning I resaved the permalink settings, which fixed the problem. But now I’m wondering if this is going to continue to be a regular occurrence? Or if something is triggering it that can be resolved so I don’t have to babysit the page to avoid any more downtime.

Hello,

We don’t have such issue on our test sites and you shouldn’t replicate it on your side.
Unfortunately we can’t tell you the reason why that problem was repeated for you.
Make sure permalinks settings are set correctly and don’t change projects slugs.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.
