sorry, confused…  not clear from your post what you were doing…   was the original item created via a forum topic and you wanted a blog post created?  or vice versa where you created the blog post and wanted a forum topic created?  the auto part only applies to blog posts creating forum topics…  guessing (but not sure) from your words that it was the former?

Andy is the blog linking expert of the two of us, and currently away on vacation, but I will try this weekend to see if I can recreate your issue…

as to plugins, yes, if any update to a plugin is available you will get a notice and chance to upgrade it just like most other wp plugins…

Yes, I created blog posts and wanted a forum post created. As I said I repeated it an additional 2 times, as I wasn’t sure what I did on the 1st one, as far as what I ticked in the bottom.

In the current setup 4.4.5 on the blog, there is a link to the forum created. In the forum, there is a link to the blog added. So you can go to either from the other.

What happened:

2 Forum Topics were created for each blog post.

In the blog post there wasn’t any link added to take the person to the forum.

In the forum there was a link back to the blog post.

Hope that’s a bit clearer

think so.. thanks…

will try to duplicate this weekend…  the blog linking plugin has not been fully tested yet, so certainly could be something wrong…

okay, had a chance to play with this today…

It seems I can duplicate it too…  well, at least part of it…

When I create the blog post and tell it to create forum topic, it does it properly…  that is, both the blog post and forum topic are created…

however, the blog post does not have a link to the forum topic in it…  tried it without the ‘post above’ option too…

the forum topic does have a link back to the blog post…

you mentioned 2 forum topics created for each blog post…  I cannot duplicate that part…

ticket opened…  will see if I can look at it, but as mentioned Andy is currently testing the blog linking plugin so may need to wait until he returns…

I just committed a fix that should take care of this… will need to svn up plugins… or wait for wp update release tomorrow…

would appreciate a quick test and some feedback when you get a chance…  thanks for heads up…

Good deal. I thought it was me. 🙂 I had the same issue where the blog post was not showing the link to the forum.

I will update tomorrow and see how it goes.

would appreciate some feedback too…  blog linking was the last plugin we (read Andy) threw together before the alpha started…  we have not fully tested it yet…

Just updated, and download the plugins, and I’m having the same issue. No link on the blog post and it’s creating 2 forum topics.

well, gonna need some more information… as I cannot duplicate the doubling or the not getting link anymore…

please go through the steps one by one… so I can make sure I follow exactly…  I always get the link right now after the change…

I did a quick screencast of it with a brand spanking new installation.

WP is straight outta the box with Simple Press 5 the only installed plugin.

okay thanks… only thing you did different was select the update on subsequent edits which I did not select… so will try again this weekend… but fear we might need Andy since he is the blog linking expert…

btw, I had a good laugh when you were in the wp admin and you went back to the front end just to select add new post from the admin bar instead of just clicking on it from the wp admin menu    first thing I do is turn off that admin bar!

but you will probably be glad to hear that the admin bar now is in the admin too…  just like on the front end… and its the only admin bar at the top…  wp 3.3 that is…

Great, I’ll move on to something new to test then 😉

I went to site really so you would see it was a Hello World install 😉 but I do love the admin bar, didn’t like it in the beginning, but now that I’ve gotten used to it I love it. When you have a bad plugin and have to find broken posts and fix them… it makes it easy to hop back and forth too.

As I feared, even with you exact settings, I cannot duplicate that behaviour…  I get the link fine and just one topic…

So probably need to turn over to Andy since he knows the blog linking better than I…  he should return from vacation early next week…

Is this on a live server (ie web accessible)?  such that we might be able to get access to it if needed to see what is going on?

Also, did you say this was fresh install?  no other plugins?

No, it’s not on a live install, although I can go ahead and try that as well. I did originally have it on a live server, then pulled it. Yes it was a fresh install, no other plugins, default theme.
