Hi there,
I found a problem with the live-editor (which btw. is genius).
The thing is… I built a custom widget, which outputs the contents of some posts of a custom post type. These custom posts are filled using the pagebuilder too.
I output the contents within a secondary loop using the_content(). This works perfectly fine on normal view, but creates an infinite loop on live preview as you run a filter on ‘get_post_meta’ which replaces the custom post meta with the contents from $_POST without checking if the request is the actual currently displayed page/post.
So the error is in the file:
/siteorigin-panels/inc/live-editor.php
I came up with a hotfix which isn’t beautiful but works:
function siteorigin_panels_live_editor($value, $post_id, $meta_key){
$queriedPost = get_queried_object();
if($meta_key == 'panels_data' && current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) && !empty( $_POST['live_editor_panels_data'] ) && is_a($queriedPost, 'WP_Post') && $post_id == $queriedPost->ID ) {
As you can see all I do is compare the given $post_id with the queried-object’s ID if and only if the queried object is of type ‘WP_Post’.
So it would be great if you either add my solution to the plugin or fix this issue in another way.
This would be really awesome!
Thx a lot,
David
Hi David
Sorry for the late reply here.
Awesome to hear you’re enjoying the Live Editor. There’s a lot I’d still like to add to that interface to make it a little more front-end-editorish, but it’s definitely a powerful tool.
This is the kind of fix I’d like to implement. Is there anywhere I could get a copy of your widget to test things out? I’ll log this on Github once I get that from you.
