I recently posted a question about combining URLs in Google Analytics. It can be found here.
The answer I accepted as correct worked fine. However it's a bit more complicated than I thought. I managed to get GA to change "article/4567/edit" to "article/edit" and so on. The complicated part is that I also would like to get rid of all the article IDs and bundle them all into "article/"
How would I go about doing this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Have you used Content grouping before? It helped me solve a similar problem:

I'm looking to help a friend who needs a website for his project. I know wordpress a little, but there might be better options.
The needs are:
- have a splash screen prompting for region (like this site)
- have some pages available only for a given region.
- allow the non-it guy to update the contents.
Wordpress is the only one I know as web design isn't my specialty. I'd have gone for a template like Avada, but again, better leads are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance for your inputs!
Ok, the downvote really helped me and certainly will help other users as there's no comment whatsoever explaining why this post is bad. Don't give leads or guidance by the way.
So, whatever. I found a solution to this. The following plugin works like a charm:

A simple purchase gives total control and removes the watermark. The best part regarding my need was the capability to write custom callback code as explained in this article.

I Hope you can understand my difficulty in finding a really good tutorial video for WordPress. Not sure why, but I'm having a hard time finding some basic stuff in WordPress; like how to create a custom template using CSS. I know CSS, and Html just fine. But instead of just googling every little thing I come across ( i would not follow the trend of asking for help for every little detail) I am looking for a complete and quality video tutorial in WordPress, not just for myself, but for my people.
Since beginning training in Java I've learned it's best to learn broader rather than getting hung up on details, which I can research later, and go back to with references. If I understand the whole concept then when I want to do something specific, I at least know where to start looking on my own. With WordPress I don't have a broad view, and that's what I'm aiming for. Please don't just Google search 'Good WordPress Tutorial Video' and post the first decent looking link. I am looking for recommendations through experience. If you know of a good Tutorial Video Series on WordPress please then consider replying. :) Thank you!
WordPress.org not in video but excellent documentation available!
Let me start of by saying I am a total noob when it comes to PHP and all the lovely stuff you need to make a real good theme. I got pretty far - mostly thanks to posts here -, but now I am a bit stuck. So here it comes:
I have a index page with multiple loops. Naturally I want to give the user the option to choose which category displays in which loop.
I have found some code already but nothing really that I understand or was able to get to work.
I'd much appreciate a link to a tutorial or a solution here. I am looking of a solution that is code based, in other words i don’t want to use plugins.
thanks!
Okay, after many more hours of just trying and searching the god of google let me to find this page:

it help me and just about all works now!
I installed Contact form 7 in my wordpress blog and there are several spam messages coming through it. Then I added really simple captcha/ recaptcha for the form. But still the spam messages are getting submitted.
How can I block this? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
There are a lot of papers and works related to spam blocking. For example, you can ask easy questions, like 2+7 instead of captcha but i dont know how powerful is that now, because spammers are also improving themselves.
You can also block by looking at their behaviour, for example, spambot enters to your website, and after one-two second it sends its spam to your website, this is not human behaviour, so dont allow that post.
You can search on google about that and I'm sure you can find a lot of stuff related to it
As I said, there is a lot of research going on in this issue, you can use google scholars too
Also this question looks similar to your question.
You can try to use the honeypot plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-honeypot/ (Note: I haven't tested it, but I use a similar functionality in Gravity Forms, and it works great!).
Make sure to activate the Akismet plugin. It will help capture a good deal of the spam that gets through your forms.
I would also advice to use at least a combination of Captcha and Akismet like Bill already mentioned. You can find a very good tutorial on this topic at http://cool-tricks.net/contact-form-7-configuration/
I have asked several questions on the buddypress forum but I never get any sort of response or help. I seem to always get a valid well thought out answer on the stackoverflow community, so I am posting my question here too. Here is my original post to the buddypress forum that no one has answered. Seems like a good question that some dev could answer easily. maybe someone here has some experience or guidance and can point me in the right direction.
Hey, i was wondering I found this webpage http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/ on editing the activity stream loop with some information on filtering the main activity wall but I am really still confused because It doesn’t seem like all the available options are listed here. For example right under it it says if ( bp_has_activities( ‘type=status’) ) :
Well ‘type=status’ is no where listed on this page and I know there are several other options available that are also not listed. So my question is what and where can I find all the available options for filtering. I am setting up some custom options for my site and I would love some help. I am familiar with php so if there is a file i can look at then I would love to know about it too.
Please Advise Thanks,
All the filters and accepted parameters are on the page you referenced (just scroll down it a little bit). For some reason in the example they use type=status when it should be object=status as that is the correct way to filter for status updates only.
You can always take a look at the actual function itself to see accepted parameters. Buddypress is much better documented in the code than on their website.
