WordPress 4.2 breaks term querys

Anonymous

#15761

My Search & Filter form UI’s have started returning 0 results after updating to 4.2. So basically just empty dropdowns (or whatever ui element you choose)

eg

SELECT t.*, tt.*
FROM wp_terms AS t
INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt
ON t.term_id = tt.term_id
WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘regions’)
AND t.name = ‘_sft_regions’
ORDER BY t.name ASC

is returning 0 rows.

I have a feeling this might be related to the cores restructure of how terms ids are now stored in the db.

Thanks Ross,

The terms are now appearing correctly 😉

Out of interest.. Was my guess on what was causing the issue close?

Hey all

I just wanted to test it first 😉

I’ve just pushed the update officially so you can see it either via the WordPress plugins page (wait a few moments/page refreshes) or you can download the latest zip from you account!

Thanks

Hey Mark! to follow up

I don’t there were any problematic queries, returning 0 results etc – it was mostly due to I think an unmentioned update to the way wp_list_categories worked – which S&F hooked into to create the various inputs for tags, categories & taxonomies…

I still need to check through their update notes though there might be something here.

Also left a note: https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/wordpress-4-2/

Thanks
