I am trying to:
I have a select group setup to display an image and a link. In the field I have:

Set to display as raw.

Since the upgrade on front end I get:
hidden link
The image and link are broken. Link turns to this:
hidden link

I then took out the " in the field and it works, like this:

frontend here:
hidden link

Problem is, if I fix these I then am forced to go back in each individual post and reselect the proper label from the dropdown. It basically resets.

I need help to get the old way to just work or I need to go back to my last backup and not upgrade.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Would you mind providing me with a duplicator package to the website so that we can check on this issue for you ?

To provide the duplicator package please take a look at the link below.

Hi Chris,

Would you mind if I get admin access to create a copy with the All in One plugin ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Were you able to download a copy of the site? I may want to go back to my backup prior to the upgrade. We want to launch in the next 2 weeks and if this upgrade is an issue we may need to sort it out on staging site in the future. Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I have to remake the backup, its 6gb so i'm creating a new one without all the media files so I will just have a copy of the site itself.

Hi Chris,

Still didn't get it to work locally.

However could you point me to the custom field on one of the posts on the backup so I can debug since this is a staging site ?

Thanks,
Shane

It is in Field Group for Artists - Label(select)

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I see what the problem is. The quotes in the link are being converted to their ASCII equivalent so you're not getting a true url as you would expect.

The most I can do is to escalate this and see what our team says this could've been an exploit that was fixed .

Thanks,
Shane

Okay, please escalate to see if I can get this upgrade to work, otherwise I will need to go back.
Thanks

[chrisC-25]

I am going to revert to my backup. Please look into this, so I can update in the future.
Thanks

Hi Chris,

No problem as this is replicable on a fresh install.

Our 2nd tier supporter is currently looking at it.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

Our team has escalated this to our developers but would it be possible to rethink the values that you are using instead of just adding the entire link ?

Perhaps just add the slug to the select field instead ? then just build the link on the frontend?

Example

<a href='mywebsitelink.com/[types field="my-field"][/types]'>Some Link</a>

Please let me know

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I am not sure I understand?

This is current code in the layout:

<p>[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-record-label) gt '' )"]Label: [types field='record-label' output='raw'][/types][/wpv-conditional][wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-labels) gt '' )"][types field='labels' output='raw'][/types][/wpv-conditional]</p>

Here is one of the label fields:

Can you show me how you would change to your suggestion?

The other issue is that whenever I change these fields it does not automatically update the post. It actually dumps it and I have to go in each one and make selection again.....
