Exclude from dynamic pages?

    Hi Alin,

    I’m wondering if it’s possible to disable tracking of dynamically-generated pages. Specifically, I’m thinking of MailPoet’s Subscription Confirmation, Managament, and Unsubscribe pages, as well as Subscribe to Comments Reloaded’s Management page. I tried the following, but it didn’t work:

    add_action('init', 'n_gadwp_remove_trackingcode');

function n_gadwp_remove_trackingcode(){
	if (class_exists('GADWP_Manager')){
		$gadwp = GADWP();
		if (isset($gadwp->tracking)){
			remove_action('wp_head', array($gadwp->tracking,'tracking_code'), 99);

			if ( ! is_page( array( 15949, 15933, 15946, 15937 ) ) ) {
				add_action('wp_footer', array($gadwp->tracking,'tracking_code'));
			}
		}
	}
}

    The tracking code still shows up on all these pages, presumably because the url changes with each user.

    Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!

    Can you give some examples with URLs of those dynamic pages?

    Sure 🙂 For example, the Subscriptions Management page generated for each user is http://niackery.com/subscriptions/manage/?wysija-page=1&controller=confirm&wysija-key=##########&action=subscriptions&page=manage.

    NB: I changed part of the URL to remove identifying information (wysija-key=##########), so the above doesn’t actually work.

    Let me know if there’s any other info you need. Thanks!

    You can use a filter in your Google Analytics account and exclude all traffic to subdirectories starting with /subscriptions/manage, for example. You can customize it further if for example you do want to track http://niackery.com/subscriptions/manage/ but not http://niackery.com/subscriptions/manage/?wysija-page= using a custom filter.

    Hi Alin,

    I just wanted to let you know that I found a better solution, in case anyone else ever asks about this…

    After implementing the Google Analytics filters, I realized that the data would still be sent to Google, but it would just be filtered out of the data I can see. But because these are pages that potentially contain personally identifiable user information, the point is to prevent Google from getting any data at all.

    I was inspired by this post to do the following, which I tested and can confirm that it does prevent the tracking code from loading on the dynamically-generated pages:

    /* Move the Google Analytics Dashboard for WP Tracking Code to Footer & Exclude from MailPoet Subscription Pages */
add_action('init', 'n_gadwp_move_trackingcode');

function n_gadwp_move_trackingcode(){
	if (class_exists('GADWP_Manager')){
		$gadwp = GADWP();
		if (isset($gadwp->tracking)){
			remove_action('wp_head', array($gadwp->tracking,'tracking_code'), 99);

			$uri = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
			$uri_array = split("/",$uri);
			$uri_first = $uri_array[1];
			$uri_second = $uri_array[2];

			if ( ( $uri_second == 'manage' ) || ( $uri_second == 'confirmation' ) || ( $uri_second == 'unsubscribe' ) || ( ( $uri_first == 'subscriptions' ) && ( $uri_second == 'comments' ) ) ) {
				echo ' ';
			} else {
				add_action('wp_footer', array($gadwp->tracking,'tracking_code'), 0);
			}
		}
	}
}
