Hi, I have a related question. I am an affiliate only on Amazon US and Amazon India and I want every non-India user to be sent to Amazon US and users from India to Amazon India links. Is this possible with this plugin?

I see. But I really want automatic updates for google analytics. This cron issue.. is this server-specific? My blog is hosted at Synthesis by Copyblogger, who are supposed to be a good managed WordPress host. So I am not sure if this is my server or if this is something that needs to be improved upon by you. Must be some way where updates can happen without slowing down either the WP Admin or the posts?

Great! Quick question though: Do I need to set the update range to no posts if I use Google Analytics only? I mean does the plugin use WP Cron for updating GA stats too? I thought it only uses that for social networks.

@ben Cole: Is there a way to disable social metrics and just use the Google Analytics feature? That way it won’t require to use WP Cron, right?

I had to disable this plugin because the server couldn’t handle the cron load. I see that you have now added the post footer update method but I am pretty sure it will slow down the post loading. I really only need the GA stats, not the social stats.

This is the best plugin I have come across that can help me look into date-wise traffic of posts published in a certain period. So don’t want to lose that functionality.

Resolved.

Okay, so I am trying to set it up and used the name ‘WordPress’ and urls of site starting with https:// in both URLs and Redirect URI section. But when I go to Step 2 – Login to Slack, it gives errors. Configured URL not specified or No Allowed URI etc. The URL will be the link to my site, right? like https://www.xyz.com, correct?

Also, can this plugin sent notifications when a post is submitted for review (as pending) in WordPress? And can we customize what alerts are sent to the Slack channel?

@robnalexpress – well, my images are in a folder called “assets.” Now, what I have done is that I have added assets/* in the custom files section of w3totalcache, and when I check the images on the site, it does have the url beginning from cdn.xyz.com/assets/images….

So, what do you suggest now? Should I just leave that import thing or go ahead with that?

I can’t find the second div tag of the footer in my theme code. I can see that it is called twice on that page you shared. But, I am checking the custom_functions.php and the custom.css ( thesis theme ) and I don’t see a second call for the footer. Any ideas?

Btw, Clear all cache files when a post or page is published in advanced isn’t checked. Could that be the reason?

I am not sure if I would be able to understand the debug emails. I have zero coding knowledge. Would you recommend selecting “Check front page every 5 minutes” option? or anything else may be?

Ohk, cool…I’ll leave the current setting as it is then. Thanks. ??

Well, I am not sure if it created another robots.txt file because when I went to blogs.dir->sub-directory->files… I couldn’t see any robots.txt. But when I point my browser to main-site/sub-site/robots.txt, it does show it up (it’s actually the same one as it’s for the main site)

Here’s the plugin link – Link 1 and Link 2

Ok, I actually found a way to customize it. Made a few changes to the upprev_layout.css file. This is what the code looks like now.

#upprev_box {
    position:fixed;
    z-index:1000;
    bottom:0px;
    right:-400px;
    width: 360px;
    padding: 10px 20px 10px 10px;
    border-top: 2px solid #000;
    border-left: 1px solid #f0f0f0;
    background-color: #fff;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 4px 10px #666;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 4px 10px #666;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 10px #666;
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Color=#cccccc, direction=270, strength=7)";
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Color=#cccccc, direction=270, strength=7);
    _position: absolute;
    _top: 0;
    color: #004276;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande",
    Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}
#upprev_box h6 {
    margin:0 0 5px 0;
    color: #004276;
    padding:0;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    font: bold 10px arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
}
#upprev_box .num {
    color:#888;
    font-weight:normal;
}
#upprev_box button {
    border: none;
    padding: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 5px;
    right: 5px;
    width: 13px;
    height: 13px;
    background: #fff url('close_window.gif') no-repeat 0 0;
    text-indent: -999em;
    overflow: hidden;
    cursor: pointer;
}

I don’t know much about CSS so obviously, the above code needs more, because the box is still not the way I’d like it to be. I mean the main link isn’t dark blue. Also, I wanna align the text towards the left of the box.

Okay. I’ll activate multi-site, install the plugin and add a new channel to my blog this week. Then, I’ll be back asking you to check out my sitemaps, and if everything works fine. ??

You said, “This is needed because my plugin will only feed a sitemap with links to the main site posts and pages in https://www.guidingtech.com/sitemap.xml … Crawlers need to be told to look at each sitemap like https://www.guidingtech.com/abc/sitemap.xml to get all those links too.”

If your plugin only feeds a sitemap for the main site, how will the sitemaps for the sub-directory sites get generated? I mean, I can definitely add sitemaps for new sites in robots.txt too, but the sitemap need to be there right for the crawlers to access it? Crawlers won’t create sitemaps on their own, correct?
