I wonder if anyone could shed some light for me. I have updated wordpress and one of my plugins has stopped working, which is also up to date. I have narrowed it down to exactly what isnt working the following :-
<li class="cat-item cat-item-49">
<a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/category/industries/energy/">Energy</a>
</li>
Should look like :-
<li class="cat-item cat-item-49">
<a class="data-post-taxonomy-category" data-post-taxonomy="category" href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/category/industries/energy/">
</li>
This whole plugin works on using the class and data attribute so without these none of the JS is working either. However as it is only WP that has updated I assume something has changed in the wp_list_categories function? It is the following line of code that does changes the category links to contain the correct data :-
$args = array(
'taxonomy' => $filter,
'orderby' => 'name',
'show_count' => $this->get_option('show_count'),
'pad_counts' => 0,
'hierarchical' => 1,
'title_li' => '',
'hide_empty' => 0,
'echo' => 0
);
$content = wp_list_categories( $args );
$content = preg_replace('|<a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/200462/(.+?)">(.+?)</a>|i', '<a href="$1" data-post-taxonomy="'.$filter.'" class="data-post-taxonomy-'.$filter.'"><i class="icon-check-empty"></i> $2</a>', $content);
return $content;
Is there any reason why the preg_replace would stop working in the plugin code on a WP upgrade? Still working fine on the old version.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
