Tumbnail Grid shows all categories although set otherwise

[edgrbnz]

Hey there @arminunruh & @mariusjopen

I experienced a weird bug on an category page (which is my frontpage) on my website:
I have a simple self explanatory setup of two categories Work and Drafts. In the category work sits just one Project Thumbnail Grid set to show only the Work category:

Right now I just have one project in the Drafts category. As soon as I publish the project it also shows up in the Work category page which seems to be an error to me since everything is set to not do this (see above).

Seems like a bug to me – Is there any way to get this fixed?

Dear @edgrbnz
Best is if you write me a PM and include your username, password and a link to this conversation.

¡Hola @mariusjopen!
Did you have time to look into that?

[mariusjopen]

Dear @edgrbnz
hm.

For me it worked.

I made a new project called TEST and put it into the category drafts.

All good.

Or do I miss something?

Best!

🤔

Weird,… there is a project called LC77509 Hoodies that’s currently a draft and in the category Drafts. As soon as I publish it it shows up on the front page although the frontpage is set to category Work.

Could you have a look?

Dear @edgrbnz
is it possible to make a copy of that project?
Maybe the problem is only with that project.

Best!

Will try to just make a new, blank project and work my way around that way.

I guess it has to do with the fact, that I copied it form an existing project (Black Mayo) in category Work. I’m guessing, that while copying there’s a database related bug / issue with LayTheme.

Could that be it?

If so: Let’s add that to the list to investigate.

Well! Hi @mariusjopen & @arminunruh it’s me again :)

I was able to find out how this error occurs:
As soon as I create a new project I can set it to Drafts and then publish it and it won’t appear on my category page Work as desired.

Although I can change any of the existing projects in Work to the category Drafts and publish the changes, these stay on the category page for Work.
It’s the same behaviour if I duplicate any of the projects in Work and set the duplicate to Drafts afterwards.

Also if I publish a project in my category Drafts and then change the category to Work I'm able to set it back to Drafts again but it stays visible in the category Work.

Work also is the default category, thus it cannot be canged…

In my All Projects overview it says that the project in question is in category Drafts:

But if I switch to Categories it says, that there are 0 projects inside this category:

Is it possible, that there’s something wrong with the Database entries lay creates / changes when categories get edited?
Is there any way to fix this?

Dear @edgrbnz
thank you for the detailed reply.
I will look with Armin into this.

Best!

Marius

[edgrbnz]

THANK YOU! for all the hard work over there!

[edgrbnz]

Any news on that one?

[mariusjopen]

Dear @edgrbnz
I will ask Armin if he had time to check.

Best!

Ok seems like a bug, will work on this one day. Please send your /wp-admin/ login data to info@laytheme.com with a link to this topic.

Sent! 👍

hi with the new update this is fixed.
however, you need to follow these steps to make it work:

• go to your /wp-admin/ and login
• now open all of the projects that should not be in a certain thumbnailgrid
• click on "update" in each of these projects
