[Resolved] Adding custom field to a post redirecting home page.

Hi,

I am adding custom field to an existing post on my site.

But after adding it; the post is redirecting to homepage. However, if I don't update the post with custom field then it opens correctly. This problem only occurs while I update old post with custom field (with same permalink). Even if I delete that post and use the same permalink then it redirects to homepage.

For new posts with new permalinks, the post opens normally.

Can you please help me figure out this issue?

UPDATE:

I just tried to create a new post with custom field and it is redirecting to homepage. Earlier I thought it was only the problem with old (existing) posts, but this problem is present for all posts with custom field.

Current WordPress Version: 5.0

Hello,

Perhaps i'm not understanding the issue fully but i've added a new custom field and added a value to it and the post was not redirected to the homepage.
hidden link

Could you perhaps record a video showing the issue so that I can better understand?

Thanks,

Hi Thank you for your reply.

Yes this is working fine with page, but redirecting problem is with post.

You can check this URL:-

hidden link

This is a post with custom fields and its redirecting to homepage.

Please check with post and "Gift Items" custom fields.

Hello,

Could you try deactivating the non-toolset plugins and try again ?

Also I would recommend deleting the Post and try again.

Thanks,

I tried with deactivating all not-toolset plugin and found that Custom Permalink plugin is conflicting with toolset.

After deactivating custom permalink plugin post is working normally.

But its not a problem of custom permalink plugin, because custom permalink is working normally in the post that not updated with custom fields.

Could you please found the problem why toolset custom fields are conflicting with custom permalink plugin.

Custom fields in post type post have repeatable field group, and repeatable field group is created as a custom post type. That custom post type take link (custom fields) link on main post, that's why its conflicting with custom permalink.

Please provide me a solution for this.

Hi Himanshu,

I would like to install the duplicator plugin to your site so that I can create a copy to run some tests here locally.

Hopefully I will be able to assist with this issue.

However from what it seems the Custom Permalink plugin is interfering with the normal operation of the RFG fields.

Also could you let me know when did this issue first became noticeable?

Thanks,
Shane
