Won't work with HTML parameters

  • Hi,

    first I want to say thanks for that plugin, it is probably the most simple but most effective plugin I am using. WordPress is great and makes a lot of things easier, but some things are more complicated to accomplish such as a delayed redirect.

    Anyway, I tested your plugin and found that there are issues when you use parameter. I am using a plugin that allows me to read Google’s UTM Parameters and also incorporate them in links on pages. So I tried to do a redirect using UTM parameters, but it didn’t work. Here are the paramters:

    ?utm_campaign=[utm_campaign]&utm_source=[utm_source]&utm_medium=[utm_medium]&utm_content=[utm_content]

    […] will be replaced with the value of the corresponding UTM paramter.

    Since this plugin is using [] to specify the UTM parameter, your plugin thinks that anything after the first ] is not part of your plugin anymore.

    If I may suggest, and I’m not sure if that is possible or not, but can you ignore [ or ] within the “” marks inside your plugin code?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for your review and appreciation charlievie.
    Your concern is due to inability of using another shortcodes in our shortcode, which was being intentionally implemented.

    But as per your suggestion, we are implementing use of shortcodes within our shortcode as well.

    Also, may we please have the name of the UTM plugin you are using so that we can personally test it for you as well.

    Thanks

    Good Morning charlievie

    Use of shortcode within attributes has been restricted by the wordpress.
    We have implemented the use of shortcode within content(i.e for pop up) which will be live by today evening. Also as per your suggestion of url shortcodes, we’ll be making a work around and it’ll be updated tomorrow.

    Thanks

    Hello charlievie

    We hope you’re doing well.
    As per your request, we have made a work around since wordpress do not support use of shortcodes within attributes.
    So to achieve this you can update the plugin to version 2.0 and replace square brackets with braces in url parameters. You can use any shortcode with in the url parameter like this way only.

    eg: instead of using this
    ?utm_campaign=[utm_campaign]&utm_source=[utm_source]&utm_medium=[utm_medium]&utm_content=[utm_content]
    replace it with
    ?utm_campaign={utm_campaign}&utm_source={utm_source}&utm_medium={utm_medium}&utm_content={utm_content}

    i hope this will solve your problem and you can make it to 5 star again ??

    Thanks
