Boilerplate Extension - "ERROR: Empty post id"

Hello,

I’ve discovered an issue where boilerplate posts fail to publish and present “ERROR: Empty post id”.

This seems to happen if the post on the child site is deleted, then the boilerplate post is republished to that site.

After the post is deleted on the child site, the MainWP Boilerplate Extension still shows that post as being published to the child. Perhaps some kind of synchronization error?

Can you please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard for review? The report is located in your Dashboard under Status → Server, on the top right of the page.

Have you tried the MainWP 4.1 beta versions to see if solves the problem?

Not yet… this is for a large production website so it’s time critical.

Would you be able to send me temporary WP Admin access to your dashboard and one child site (via Private message) so I can take a look?

Unfortunately, I can’t provide guest access, but here are the steps to reproduce:

  1. from MainWP dashboard, create a new Boilerplate Post and publish to a child site
  2. from the child site’s WP Admin, put the boilerplate post in the Trash
  3. from the child site’s WP Admin, Permanently Delete the boilerplate post
  4. go back to MainWP dashboard and re-sync all child sites
  5. inspect the boilerplate post created in Step 1 via Boilerplate Extension
  6. notice that it still shows the post as being published on the child site
  7. re-publish the boilerplate post to the child site via Boilerplate Extension
  8. message is displayed: “Delete the post?”
  9. error is also displayed “ERROR: Empty post id”
