Subcategories are missing in category drop down

Foliovision › Forums › FV WP Link Robot › Bug reports › Subcategories are missing in category drop down

  • Gail 13 years, 11 months ago

    I have link robot installed, and have categories and subcategories set up. However, if I need to edit an entry, most of the subcategories are missing from the category drop down, so I can’t edit an entry without editing it into the wrong category.

    Hi Gail,

    thanks for reporting this bug! We just fixed it in the latest release 0.6.8, please upgrade your plugin and you should be able to see the subcategories when editing the link.

    Thanks, that’s working fine now.
    Unfortuantely I just discovered another problem. I have 31 links in my directory, 20 of which show on the first page, with a link to a second page, but when I follow that link, all I get is the Inbox>help menu. Nothing else except WP dashboard menu down left side of page.

    Hi Gail,

    you mean second page in the backend? or the pagination in the frontend where the links are listed?
    Could you please also tell us which version of WordPress you’re using?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I mean in the back end where I’m entering the links. Strangely I have found that after running “check all” yesterday the second page sprang to life, until this morning when I went to access it again, same as yesterday, nothing but the top menu. Again, after running the “check all” facility, the second page of entries is accessible.
    I’m runing WP 3.1.3 with Link Robot 0.6.8.

    Hi Gail,

    you might want to check the new version 0.6.9 which was just released. The problem you were describing should be fixed. Thanks a lot for reporting it!

    Hi Zdenka,
    Yes it is, thanks. One more question. I have four main categories: Write, Publish, Promote and Life, which I created in that order, and gave zindex priority 1-4 accordingly.

    In the drop boxes, these categories appear in reverse order, Life, Promote, Publish, Write, with Root and trash at the bottom, which is a little weird but I’ve got used to it.

    On the directory display page, though
    (‘http://writepublishpromote.com/resources/’)
    they appear Write, Promote, Life, Publish, which appears to make no sense according to zindex, alphabetically, chronologically or any other way I can distinguish.

    How is the category order on the page decided, and how can I get it to appear in the correct order, please?

    Hi Gail,

    you’re really investigating this plugin! Thanks a lot for bringing all these issues up, nobody noticed this ordering problem before. We’ll fix this in the next release, so it respects the zindex defined.
    If you came across more issues, just let us know, we appreciate that. Thanks!

    Hi Gail,

    Can not change the display style, such as width , text and more.

    Thanks,

    zdenka 14 years ago

    Hi Gail,

    we’ll have a look at the style issues as well.

    Hello Gail,

    we cleaned up those z-indexes and ordering. The higher the index, the more important link/category. If the index is the same then alphabetical order is used.

    All changes are in v0.6.10 which has been just released.
