When a media is not found via it’s post_name directly, another image is displayed, which has a *similar* post_name. At first sight this might seem helpful, however it can be very disconcerting for a user to click one image and to get one from another user instead.
MariaDB [mynaktiv]> select id, post_author, post_name from wp_posts where post_type = 'attachment' and post_name like 'december_17__2016%'; +--------+-------------+---------------------+ | id | post_author | post_name | +--------+-------------+---------------------+ | 92150 | 12246 | december_17__2016 | | 94454 | 12247 | december_17__2016 | | 94452 | 9991 | december_17__2016-2 | | 100555 | 9991 | december_17__2016-3 | | 100556 | 9991 | december_17__2016-4 | +--------+-------------+---------------------+
In this case, if user 9991 clicks a link to
/members/profile-9991/mp/wall-9991/december_17__2016/
, what is actually loaded is the image for user 12246, so:/members/profile-12246/mp/wall-12246/december_17__2016/
Helpful, but not really helpful 🙂

Hi Richard,
I am sorry for the inconvenience.This is strange and should never happen.
Here is the check we are using
$post = $wpdb->get_row( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_name = %s and post_type = %s ", $slug, mpp_get_media_post_type() ) );
We are not using like, in the above test so I am not sure how this happened for you.
Can you please point me to the code(It might be related to something else).
Regards
BrajeshIt’s not clear to me exactly how it’s happening, all I know at this stage is that this is the result of that URL call. One thing I notice though. The post_name is clearly not unique, and I seem to recall you saying this was required at some point…?

Hi Richard,
May I know how the two attachment post_name are same? Should not they be unique?ha ha, we both reached the same conclusion at (almost) the same time 🙂 Ok, I’ll fix my data, and close the ticket.
Thanks Brajesh, sorry for the bother.
