Query string causes URL targeting to fail. #14

Closed jaredatch closed 6 years ago

jaredatch commented 9 years ago

I have a site with this page: acme-corp.com/campaigns/

This page contains various links, which filter the content of the page in this format: acme-corp.com/campaigns/?cc=automotive

Targeting by URL seems to work correctly for the first URL (this is a normal WordPress page), however when any query string is in the URL the widget will not show.

So acme-corm.com/campaigns/?foobar will not show the widget either.

I am using wildcards, so I'm not sure why this isn't working. I've tried all of the following:

campaigns/
campaigns/*
campaigns/?cc=*

This has to be a bug I'm assuming. Any insight would be appreciated.

This bug also makes URL targeting useless on mutlilingual site using WPML, as language by default is chosen by GET parameter, e.g. "http://example.com/page/?lang=es"

I'm having a problem with this too. Any news about it?

Is this issue resolved in version 1.1.0, as I am still seeing this behaviour when handling urls with ?utm query strings

kasparsd commented 6 years ago

@jkeasley I just confirmed that it isn't working also on this demo page where there should be a Meta widget in the footer of the sidebar.

Re-opening.

@jkeasley Actually, the settings were missing the wildcard entry to capture all query variables. I added widget-context/hello-world?* to the list of URLs and now it works as expected.

Here is the full contents of the Target by URL field:

widget-context/hello-world
widget-context/hello-world?*
