Javascript requests causing theme to change

We’ve been working on this for several days now.

The jonradio plugin can only filter precise URLs.

Partial URLs, wildcards, do not work. No iteration of any of the below URLS are ever accepted or can be filtered. Neither is the precise URL.

http://mydomain.com/#!portfolio-item/post-2
http://mydomain.com/#!portfolio-item/

We have tried about 50 different permutations of the above URL in every conceivable setting.

How do I tell the plugin to do nothing if the URL like above is clicked? Because right now, it reverts back to the wrong theme.

I’m the original author of this plugin, and I’m no longer in a position to provide Support (David has adopted this plugin and supports it now), but I did want to comment on one thing in the hopes that it might help you immediately.

The URLs you show in your post above all include the “#”. The PHP functions used by the plugin would see the “#” as the beginning of the name of a section of a page.

Whether right or wrong, I know that I never tested any situation like this.

I agree with Jon. The standard for URL formatting is that the # symbol looks for an anchor tag on the page. So in the case of foo.com/page#anchor everything after the # is the anchor tag. If you have nothing before the #, it will look on the home/default page of the site.

P.S. Marking as resolved because odd URL formatting that the plugin can’t resolve.

Thanks, this is what we assumed. Although we came close to getting it to work with some hooks, but in the end, we put the secondary theme in a different installation and linked it to the main site.

Some diagnostic messages in place of missing divs and blank pages might be good, but as a WP dev, server admin and sometimes plugin-developer, I know of course the origins of the errors are not so easy.

As I change code, I’ll be adding more diagnostics. So far, I’ve been avoiding too much code changing because what Jon built is virtually indistinguishable from magic.
