Hi all

I also had this issue when working on a really long post full of embedded tweets to demonstrate live twitter coverage of a meeting (not yet published).

Anyway, I got the occasional issue with the embedded tweets vanishing and just the URL remaining. I kept restoring previous versions and got really frustrated.

It all seemed to happen (as cspowers noted) when the formatting altered: either when I did something or when inserting an images changed the alignment without me wanting it to.

I had almost finished the post last night and the issue had completely beaten me. I’d checked, unchecked and rechecked the box to enable embedding, restored almost every previous version and even copy and pasted the entire post into a new post.

Nothing. Fail.

Woke up this morning with new energy and tried pasting the entire post into a new post as plain text. YES! It worked, although I’d have to go through the entire thing and correct all the paragraph spacing, which may cause me problems again.

So, I tried simply cutting and pasting the first tweet back into the post as plain text, just to see if it would work and I could then do the rest of the tweets.

Bingo! When I previewed it, all the embedded tweets had been restored!

I’ve saved it and left it alone for now. It’s a great feature, but I think there are still some bugs to iron out.

Hopefully this will continue to work for me and may work for some of you.

Right, I’ve had a bit of a play and the problem seems to be when I use the call back scripts.

The plugin recommends that if you use Analytics, you need to set two callback scripts to fire: onAccept and onCookiesAllowed.

I’ve removed them individually and re-loaded my pages, after clearing the ”civicAllowCookies“ cookie each time.

I found that the onAccept callback seems to be the one interfering with letting someone click, “I am happy with this”. Using only the callback for onCookiesAllowed allows the cookie to be set, the icon stays green and minimised for the remainder of the time browsing around the site.

I’m presuming that this will affect my analytics data and only register a site visit from the following page load. I’ll be monitoring this closely.

This law is a total hassle for small businesses. If it affects my site too much, I may have to remove the plugin and rely on implied consent…

Right, now to write a Privacy Policy!

I have the same problem.

I’m not too clever with code, but I noticed that clicking once doesn’t actually set the allow cookie. If you click ”I am happy with this“ a second time, then check you browser’s cookies, the following cookie will now be set:

CivicAllowCookies

Bizarre. It’s as if the plugin is blocking the cookie it has to set to allow cookies until it gets clicked again?

I don’t have too much that could conflict with the plugin. I don’t allow comments, but use Google Analytics, a store and Fecebook/Twitter feeds.

Nice, simple solution. Why didn’t I think of that?

That fix will do me for now, I hope…

Thanks
