Hey Wix, here's a new bug

Over the last week or two, I have noticed a new bug that has developed with dynamic page URLs.

Let’s say the url is formatted with variables like this:

www.site.com/{name}/{sequence}

where name is a text value and sequence is a number value.

Now let’s say there are two items in the dataset:

Item 1:
Name: Item
Sequence: 1

Item 2:
Name: OtherItem
Sequence: 2

The URLs would be:
/Item/1
and
/OtherItem/2

Here’s the problem:

If I change the sequence values, the URLs do not update. They remain the same.

So if I change Item 1 to:
Name: Item
Sequence: 3

the URL no longer updates, but remains:
/Item/1

The only way I’ve found to resolve it is to go into the Wix Editor and completely change the URL structure (to something like /{name}/{somethingElse}, publish the site, then change it back again.

This is a new fault and makes it incredibly tedious to make small changes to items in a dataset. It affects all of our Wix sites, so it is not site specific. They’re all built in the Classic Editor.

Please could you resolve this?

@noahlovell This problem persists. Could you perhaps raise it with the relevant team? It’s site breaking.

Hey!

The best way to report any bugs or issues is via the steps outlined here.

In the meantime, I’ve shared with the team - I know there’s some updates to CMS slugs that allow you to customize them from the collection, and I’m not sure if it’s connected.

Will keep you updated :slight_smile:

Hey @noahlovell Did you hear back about this? The problem persists.
