Thank you so much for the speedy reply. Ironically I already tried this using a Mailchimp embedded form with just the email field on each workshop page. The only difference between the form is that I have a hidden field in the form that references which workshop it is (ex: workshop a, workshop b, etc.) On the Mailchimp side I have Grouped my audience into these groups (group 1: workshop a, group 2: workshop b). I have the free version so you’re only allowed one Audience/List (although on their website they even say only one list should be used and it’s managed via groups and segments.

In my testing everything works fine until I try subscribing to multiple workshops with the same email address then I get the message “[email protected] is already subscribed to list MyList. Click here to update your profile” and the person has to manually go and update their profile. If this isn’t done then the person doesn’t get added to the additional workshops. When I do the manual profile update via the link that’s presented then I look at my contacts I can see just one contact but in their profile are the various workshops under “Groups” which makes sense.

My question is… Is there a way to set Mailchimp to not check for duplicate email addresses and to just continue with the processing? This could be code that’s added to a form or a setting in Mailchimp. I have searched and searched online but couldn’t find anything (either this can’t be done with Mailchimp or I’m using the wrong search query).

I have used Mailchimp many times but in hindsight the websites only had one newsletter subscription so the message makes sense but it seems to me when it comes to a person subscribing to multiple items then Mailchimp should just do the processing and not present that error. Obviously someone subscribing to more than one workshop, event, newsletter, ebook, offer, etc on a website. is going to provide the same email address. I know Aweber had a feature where you could toggle this on/off per form.

After I ran into this error that’s when I started looking for plugins thinking there would be a different way to manage this. Based on the workaround you gave me I would run into the same issue unless I can turn this off (meaning Mailchimp just processes the subscription).

And the default response code (if none is specified) is 302 for apache so the mystery is solved. ??

I found it. The directives are in /wp-includes/canonical.php. There are a few shorthand URLs baked into WP (since version 3.4.0) so /login goes to /wp-login.php and /admin goes to /wp-admin.

If anyone is having issues with weird redirects that aren’t attributed to plugins, the database, htaccess and all the other usual suspects then it’s possible someone edited this at some point to customize it. Or if someone doesn’t has these shorthand URLs then they might have been removed (security reasons?) or possibly there’s an issue with this file.

The response code I’m getting is a 302 and that’s not specified in this file so I’m not sure if that’s a WP default response code or whether it’s the server but that wasn’t of concern to me.

Hopefully this helps someone else in case anyone was having issues or just wanted to know. ??

I wanted to provide a little more context to my question.

In my htacess there are these line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

I understand that the first one says “if there is no file”, the second says “if there is no directory” then do the third and “got to index.php which loads the site. So in my case (as in other sites I have managed) mysite.com/login doesn’t exist as a file or folder so it’s redirecting index.php but what I’m trying to understand is how /login is getting identified with /wp-login.php. I could understand if my htacess was doing some pattern matching (ex: if /login doesn’t exist look for something with login in the filename and go to it) which would explain loading wp-login.php but that’s not the case here.

I want to re-iterate that this is not a problem. I’m fine with it doing this I just want to know where this 302 redirect is coming from in WP. Is this a wp-json thing?

Thanks.

Thanks for the speedy reply but I had already checked/tried these things. As mentioned I believe this is “normal” behaviour given other sites I have worked on have also done this. Also… the link you provided is a different situation. I believe the issue mentioned there was that the homepage was redirecting to the login page. In my situation it’s a shortened login url redirecting to the actual login page.

Thanks again.

I just wanted to give a quick update. It looks like we might have been having some system issues that caused transaction data to not flow to analtyics. I am looking into this but would still like to know if there is anything I have to do to ensure our local currency flows through? I reset GA to display in $CAD and am awaiting another transaction. It would be good to have confirmation that all that I need to do is have this plugin installed and have Woo and GA set to $CAD in order for this to track correctly.

Thanks.

Update 2: OK. I found the option. I never use Visual view when I’m looking at pages (only Text). That’s why I couldn’t find it.

It turns out some previous developers set the link to “display:none” probably because they couldn’t find this option either.

Is there a master setting to to turn this off? The site in question has about a hundred galleries. This will take forever. If there is no master setting I hope you will consider my suggestions from my first reply (to make this more SEO friendly) which means a master setting for this won’t be needed OR add a master setting to disable this if you don’t plan to implement my suggestions.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Update: I found the reason why the slideshow link isn’t showing on each page that a gallery has been inserted. It has been set to “display:none” in the css. I can only assume it was because the person managing the site didn’t know there was an option to disable this so did this.

Having said that I can’t find this option either. Please explain exactly where to find this. As per my previous reply… I don’t understand your response “For each inserted display you can change its options to not display the slideshow link”. Where is this and does the option you mention do “display:none”? If so this is still crawlable and indexable by the search engines (display none only hides it from view… not the search engines) so this will not resolve my issue of duplicate content if this is what the option does. In fact… you get dinged by the search engines for doing stuff like this.

Please advise… I have to find a resolution to this or possibly find another plugin. I hope you will consider my suggestion in my previous reply on how to resolve this problem.

Thanks.

Hi back Cais,

OK, I just went into the NextGen plugin and I don’t understand what you mean by “For each inserted display you can change its options to not display the slideshow link”. Where do I do this? Is this under “Manage Galleries” or is this done in the shortcode of each page a gallery has been inserted? I don’t see this option in either location and there is no slideshow link on any of the pages that have the gallery shortcode. The only thing on the page is some content and the static images for the gallery. As a matter of fact I didn’t even know these pages existed (because there is no link to the slideshow version) until I did a crawl of the site to get all of the URLs appearing.

Please advise. This is affecting a lot of pages.

IMHO… if this plugin is to be SEO friendly then I think there should be the option for each gallery to select whether you want to display a static view or a slideshow view that way you’re not disabling the option for slideshows (as it seems to be with the directions you gave me) and you don’t get duplicate content issues. It should be selectable as one or the other for each gallery (static or slideshow) and not the current method of it automatically creating the slideshow page. Having it selectable allows the owner to decide which view to use and on which page. (Just my two cents).

Thanks so much for the speedy reply!! I didn’t see any of these options when going through the settings and various galleries so appreciate the exact method to control this. Having said that I might have seen them but didn’t correlate it to stopping these duplicate content issues so probably scrolled right by them. I appreciate you explaining how this functions which makes more sense regarding the settings you mentioned.

If I have issues I will follow-up via this post or will reply saying all is fine.

Thanks again!!

Zoee. Thanks for the reply. I checked and I don’t appear to have any redirect loops happening.

Adam: I tried increasing the php max_input_vars and it didn’t help. What’s interesting is that I tried the uploader on another site. I had to upload about 250 redirects. This uploaded fine with no errors but when I checked the redirect list they weren’t added so I broke the list down into 50 redirects per file. This worked up to 150 redirects (so uploading three separate files). On the next 50 it seemed to work (no errors reported) but they weren’t added to the redirect list. The site didn’t break this time like the other website I tried this with). I tried adding a redirect manually and that worked so it’s not like the whole plugin has failed. It just won’t add the next 50 through the bulk uploader. I increased the max_input_vars but still no love.

Is the plugin developer looking at these? Is there a log I can look at to see if there are errors even though nothing is showing on screen?

Hey Adam. Thanks for this. I will check to see if this resolves my problem (fingers crossed). I will report back after I have tried it.

This issue has been resolved for us. The site in question had just been migrated and was not put in the root (it was in a sub-directory of the root (as in root_dir/wp/all_files&directories instead of root_dir/all_files&directories. Almost everything worked fine with this configuration except the search engine visibility option (although I’m sure other things weren’t working properly as well). Once the files were moved to where they should have been this setting worked as expected.

I hope this helps others.

Any word on this? I’m having the same issue. WordPress 4.4.2. I uncheck Search Engine Visibility (to my site will get crawled) and hit “save” but it’s still check when I refresh the page.

I got this working by installing a FB specific open graph plugin but I’m trying to understand how to share pages to FB. I can email to FB but that’s not what I want. I thought this was a share plugin.

Also, the FB like. It works but where does this display on my FB wall? I thought when you FB liked something it showed up on your wall as liking a page.

So my two questions are:
– how do I share via FB?
– Shouldn’t the FB like option appear on my FB wall as well? If it doesn’t appear on my wall then I don’t understand the purpose of it.
