Privacy policy page select is not up-to-date if the options is setted in another than using the select in wp-admin/privacy.php

[f2cmb]

When registering a privacy policy page or custom post, via 'update_options()' or directly in database via putting a post ID in the 'wp_page_for_privacy_policy' in 'wp_options', the given post is effectively registered as the privacy policy page (for example the link is in the action confirmation mail sent to user), but if i open wp-admin/privacy.php page, the select field is displayed empty.

Hello there !

After updating the post ID, via an update_option(), or directly in the wp_options field, the select stays empty. Here is the way i do it in my plugin (assuming the post with this slug exist) :

<?php
//set the regular policy page in wp-admin privacy.php

function register_policy_post() {
    $post = get_page_by_path('politique-de-confidentialite', OBJECT, 'page-systeme');
    if ( $post ) {
        update_option( 'wp_page_for_privacy_policy', $post->ID );
    }
}

Only the choice made in wp-admin/privacy.php is displayed, even if the post selected is a regular page. I guess a patch would be not to loop for populating the dropdown through all existing posts, but at least display the one registered in the option field in database.

Best regards.

Hi @f2cmb after testing the issue on trunk I'm not seeing a problem, at least with the latest build. Updating wp_page_for_privacy_policy in the database and reloading the Privacy settings I see the updated page set. Also going from no option and adding it went from an unset select to the specified page. As such I'm going to close as invalid. If you can reproduce please feel free to re-open. It may be you're experiencing a caching issue, do you have the wp-admin cached?

Hi @garrett-eclipse i'll take a look as soon as i can. I can already answer you that i made the test without any cache.
