I have Disqus comments on this page but comments don't show up when the page have query string like when someone visit from twitter or buffer (it have query string):
?utm_source=buffer&utm_campaign=Buffer&utm_content=bufferc1465&utm_medium=twitter
I have this in js:
var disqus_shortname = 'jmicro';
and there is no window.location anywere. How can I make Disqus comments work?
Found it (disqus help respond on twitter) you need to set disqus_identifier variable, more info here.

I've migrated (Google) Blogger blog into Wordpress.com.
The blog is rather large (300+ posts) and I still get 404s multiple times a day due to URLs ending with ?m=1 query param.
e.g.
https://softwarearchiblog.com/2019/01/technical-debt.html?m=1
will yield HTTP 404, while
https://softwarearchiblog.com/2019/01/technical-debt.html
works fine
I use the Redirection Plugin, which does a fairly good job for various other issues - but I can't define a proper expression in its language.
The issue is around not being able to define the target URL as a regex:
Is there any way around it?
Is there any other plugin that will "do this work" and can live side-by-side with Redirections?
Since I work with hosted Wordpress.com - I understand I cannot modify the .htaccess file for a more generic redirect. Any other way to do it?
With the Redirection Plugin you can ignore the query parameters:
https://redirection.me/support/matching-a-url/
But I think you'll need an entry for each of your posts.
I think, it's possible to do using javascript. You might put this code in the header.php or 404.php file (it depends on your theme) or use this plugin to insert the code Insert Headers and Footers
<script type="text/javascript">
var uri = window.location.toString();
if (uri.indexOf("&m=1", "&m=1") > 0) {
var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf("&m=1"));
window.location.replace(clean_uri);
}
var uri = window.location.toString();
if (uri.indexOf("?m=1", "?m=1") > 0) {
var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf("?m=1"));
window.location.replace(clean_uri);
};
</script>
I encountered a problem while sending a link to my new Wordpress site to a friend. While the link on every other platform shows exactly the same description, as it should. Discord, on the other hand, puts author above description so that when the link is sent it sais:
[mydomain.com]
admin
[description]
It is not that much of a problem but I think that it should not take a place, especially when I often link lot of things on discord.
Adding this block of code to your wordpress functions.php (use child theme if necessary)
This is the shortest method of removing the data that discord pulls in though it will remove the data from being view from every site that wants to embed a link.
/* Disable oEmbeds author name & author url ~ Stops Showing in embeds */
add_filter( 'oembed_response_data', 'disable_embeds_filter_oembed_response_data_' );
function disable_embeds_filter_oembed_response_data_( $data ) {
unset($data['author_url']);
unset($data['author_name']);
return $data;
}
Note this was taken from another post on stackOverflow and isnt my own code : there is also a more compliacted solution on this thread as well. original post
This can also have so negative effects on SEO due to not sharing the data, and we all know google loves data.
An alternative solution is to set the author of the post to the site name rather than the admin user.
Side note you really should change your username from admin to something less generic so a potentual hacker has to work out the username as well as the password.
I'm working on a Charity site where we want to accept membership payments and donations via paypal.
I am having a problem with Contact Form 7 and redirection to PayPal with a variable payment amount. I'm really hoping that someone can assist or shed some insight on this problem for me.
I read This Post, which made it sound quite easy but, while my email is being sent, the form isn't redirecting to PayPal, in fact it's not doing anything at all, not even giving me the "thank you your form has been submitted" notice.
my form has this line: £[text* AmountPaying 6/ id:PayingThis]
And under "Additional Settings" I have inserted this:
<script>
function my_redirect() {
var price = document.getElementById("PayingThis").value;
var url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=#####¤cy_code=GBP&amount="+price+"&return=http://www.example.org/join-or-renew-your-membership-online/";
window.location = url;
}
</script>
on_sent_ok: "my_redirect();"
does anybody have any experience with this ?
Thanks for the comments !
With some help troubleshooting from a friend I have figured out how to make this happen with contactForm7 - in fact, I believe you could extend this solution, and submit a lot of dynamic information directly to PayPalmy problem.
This is what I did - and it's essentially the same as this guy does here
BUT, instead of putting that code in the "ADDITIONAL SETTINGS" Area of the CF7 Form page - I added this:
<script>
function my_redirect() {
var price = document.getElementById("PayingThis").value;
var url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=#######¤cy_code=GBP&amount="+price+"&return=http://www.example.org/join-or-renew-your-membership-online/";
window.location = url;
}
</script>
up at the top, with the rest of the Form building html and tags, just before the code for the form itself:
Your Name (required): [text* your-name]
etc.
and then in the Additional settings box.. I only called the function
on_sent_ok: "my_redirect();"
and it worked! it takes the value the user enters in the "How much do you want to give us" box, and submits it to paypal
I hope others can benefit from this
thanks again for taking the time to view and help

Contact Form 7 is a great plugin but creating a form for PayPal gets a little tricky. Gravity Forms would be a great options but you would need the developers license that cost $200.
My recommendation is to look up the PayPal form API and create the form yourself, from scratch and integrate it OR you should have a look at the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, and the PayPal Field Add-on for Advanced Custom Fields! It's all free.
It enables you to set a form on any post/page/etc with a paypal button. All you have to do is add the <?php the_field('NAME_OF_YOUR_FIELD'); ?> to your template, wherever you want to display it.

Thanks 5tratus. Works.
An old support thread (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-7-paypal-integration-1) was getting as far as redirecting to PayPal, but then PayPal was giving an "Page Not Found" "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal" message.
I didn't need price or any extra variables, so I cleaned it up to just redirect to the product page. Here's what I used and it works:
<script>
function my_redirect() {
var url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=[PUT YOUR BUTTON ID HERE]";
window.location = url;
}</script>
As 5tratus says, put the above code in at the bottom of the form code itself, then put
on_sent_ok: "my_redirect();"
in the "additional settings" part.

As far as I am aware in Tumblr there is no {block:Pages} block, so anything we add to normal posts is added to pages as well, things like sharing and worst of all, comment systems.
Does anyone know of a hack, or any way to remove/hide elements from pages? It's difficult because pages are using the {block:Permalink} {block:Text} blocks, so I'm pretty stumped.
I recently just discovered how to modify CSS with post tags using just HTML over here: Tumblr: How to control CSS with post tagging (UPDATE: Working Method without JQuery!)
I thought maybe we can use this, the idea would be something like this:
{block:Text}
<div class="post {block:HasTags}pagefix {block:Tags}{Tag}{/...}">
...
{/block:Text}
The way it works is by default we hide any element we don't want to be shown on pages (example: Disqus), adding the class .pagefix between {block:HasTags} in the div wrapper we can tell it to show elements on posts with tags, that way elements will only be shown on posts and not pages, because pages don't have tags.
Two problems with this, 1) all posts MUST be tagged in order to show any hidden items and 2) the Disqus comment script would have to be inserted into every post type, rather than just once before the {/block:Posts} end block.
I may be just placing Disqus in the wrong place, or some other error, let me know what you think, I can't find anything at all about this on the net anywhere. It's so dumb not to have a unique page block...
Simply wrap your Disqus code in the date block.
{block:Date}
<!-- Disqus code -->
{/block:Date}
Since only posts have dates, the Disqus code will never get rendered on a page. This also solves the problem above where having only one post breaks the method.
The trick is to wrap your Disqus code in {block:PermalinkPagination} tags as follows:
{block:PermalinkPagination}
...disqus code...
{/block:PermalinkPagination}
Your question is a partial duplication of this one on webapps.stackexhange.com, a full explanation can be found here.
There is also a problem with disqus code whereby if you want to have the comment count show on the front page but not a comment box (but have the comment box and comments as well as the comment count show on the Permalink page) you must do the following:
Append #disqus_thread to the direct page link e.g.
Do NOT wrap the disqus code in {block:PermalinkPagination}{/block:PermalinkPagination} as this will hide comments from the front page. Remove that block if it exists, and wrap the top part of the disqus script only in {block:Permalinkpage}{/block:Permalinkpage} - exact disqus code for Tumblr reproduced below;
{block:IfDisqusShortname}
{block:Permalinkpage}
<script type="text/javascript">var disqus_url = "{Permalink}"; var disqus_title ="{block:PostTitle}{PostTitle}{/block:PostTitle}";</script>
<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
dsq.src = 'http://{text:Disqus Shortname}.disqus.com/embed.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
})();
</script>
<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.</noscript>
{/block:Permalinkpage}
<!--{Title}'s comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span>-->
<script type="text/javascript">
var disqus_shortname = '{text:Disqus Shortname}';
(function () {
var s = document.createElement('script'); s.async = true;
s.src = 'http://{text:Disqus Shortname}.disqus.com/count.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('HEAD')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('BODY')[0]).appendChild(s);
}());
</script>
{/block:IfDisqusShortname}
</div>
Basically like cragslist. once you select city on craigslist, nexttime when you go to the site, it redirects you to the city you selected.
What I want to achieve: When a person comes to the site and selects a particular category, the next time they come to the site (returning user) - the page will open up on that category section.
I would think this would be fairly easy to do via setting a cookie when the visitor clicks on the category link (or when the category page loads). When they return the following time, the cookie is read and then the page redirects accordingly.
Unfortunately my knowledge of PHP and cookies is limited, (hence my search for answers) so I need to ask if anyone can help me out!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
markratledge has a good link, but WordPress has a built in function to redirect users and pass an http status code as well as it's own preferred method of settings cookies.
wp_redirect() Function
Reference
Setting Cookies in WordPress via MTSTS
Give this a shot. I'm not too sure if it works, because I can't test it out right now, but it should point you in the right direction.
function user_cat()
{
//Check to see if our cookie is set
if(isset($_COOKIE['visitorhome']))
{
//Redirect to the link defined in the cookie
wp_redirect($_COOKIE['visitorhome'], 302);
}
else
{
//If it's a category page than get the current URL set the cookie with it.
if(is_category())
{
$user_cat = get_permalink();
setcookie("visitorhome", $user_cat, time()+86400, "/", str_replace('http://www','',get_bloginfo('url')) );
}
}
}
add_action('init', 'user_cat');
Read this article on how to set and get cookies with PHP: http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_cookies.asp
Then read this page on PHP header redirecting: http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
Put the two together, and you can direct users anywhere!
Good luck.
