#16477 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

"View post" link should not change when sample permalink changes

Reported by: solarissmoke's profile solarissmoke Owned by: johnbillion's profile johnbillion
Milestone: 3.9 Priority: normal
Severity: normal Version: 3.0
Component: Editor Keywords: has-patch
Focuses: Cc:

Description

To reproduce:

  • Go to edit a post
  • Change the permalink
  • Click on "View post" and you get a 404 because the href has been changed to the new sample permalink but the post hasn't been updated yet

The "View post" link should always point to the permalink of the currently saved post.

I think there may be some usability improvements that could be made here - see #6925.

For example custom fields are updated via AJAX without having to save the whole post. But permalinks aren't. Maybe we ought to be more consistent.

  • Version changed from 3.1 to 3.0

I imagine this isn't a regression, so moving off the 3.1 version.

Agreed that a) View Post should go to current saved, and b) we should do an inventory of ajax vs on-save stuff and try to get things more consistent.

Actually, I need to update this patch to allow the 'View Post' button to open in same window when it's been published.

#6 @aubreypwd

After coding an update, I still think the View Post button should open a new window when the editor is present, even if published. I don't think we should loose the editor when we want to view the post.

The 'View Post' link shouldn't open a new window. If you've made changes to the content, you'll be prompted before leaving the page anyway.

Also of note is that this 'View Post' button sends the user to a 404 on draft posts. aubreypwd's patch also fixes that issue. Couldn't find an existing ticket for that.

Correct the "View Post" button link when changing a post slug. Fixes #16477. Props aubreypwd.

I discovered this bug happening for me in WordPress 4.2.2. It was fixed in March 2014? Seems to be an issue again. Can we reopen please?
