WordPress Recipe-Press plugin, ingredient page link select not displaying saved result

Posted by dan on Apr 10, 2011 in Web Development, Wordpress | 0 comments

When implementing the Recipe-Press WordPress plugin for a client we came across an issue that the ingredient page link select did not display the saved result, and just defaulted to none.

Maybe this image will help

Hence even though the proper page link gets saved, it doesn’t show that selection on the form

The Solution:

1. Open YOUR-PLUGIN-DIRECTORY/recipe-press/includes/form_tags.php

2. Go to line 303 and find the following piece of code in function recipe_dropdown_pages :

foreach ( $post_type as $type ) {
$r = array(
'post_type' => $type,
'numberposts' => -1,
'selected' => null,
);
$results[$type] = get_posts($r);
}

3. Replace the above code with:

foreach ( $post_type as $type ) {
$r = array(
'post_type' => $type,
'numberposts' => -1,
'selected' => $selected,
);
$results[$type] = get_posts($r);
}
