|
|
Hi,
When I rename a category, it will be assigned with a new ID for its url address... but the articles within that category don't get updated...and will still use the category's original url and display its original category name on its page...
I've found a way to update the article's category data..that is to go in to each article's editing page and delete the origianal category while adding the newly renamed category....it will be a big problem when there are more and more articles within a category which is to be renamed...
Could this be fixed? |

Yes, we're seeing some sporadic problems with the server not updating articles properly and expect to have this solved today or tomorrow. |

Hi John,
I tried to rename a category today and noticed the new name is still not flowing into archtived articles.
What's the latest on this issue? _________________ Thanks!

According to my notes, this was supposed to have been fixed. Can you provide an example URL? |

Oh wait, let me modify what I said.
If you rename a category, then the URL does change (I just experimented by changing the category "Academia" to "Academia issues").
However, I got confused because when I opened up the article in the BlogHarbor editor and looked at the category under "article options" it still showed as "Academia," leading me to think there was a problem. Note, "Academia issues" showed up in the drop down list but the category selection showed as "Academia."
Is it possible for the name in under the "Article Options" to change too?
I left the category as is for the moment so you could see what I'm talking about. _________________ Thanks!

OK, I see what you are talking about. The "Current categories" list does not seem to get updated in the Edit Article page. This appears to be purely cosmetic, it does not appear to affect the blog operation, but the bug has been noted and will be examined by the developers. Thanks for pointing it out. |
