In reply to: [WP-PostRatings] GDPR ComplianceAlso, if I set “Do Not Log” and not logged anything, then any user can rate as many times as they want. Then I will have another complaint on that.
I won’t complain, I promise 🙂 It is just an option. I always set this option on and almost nobody notice you can vote twice.
The reason I still logged the hashed data so that if user changes their mind, it will not affect the ratings.
I don’t get this. I periodically delete with a SQL query all these fields;
rating_ip
rating_host
rating_username
pollip_ip
pollip_host
pollip_userRatings and votes won’t change.
My suggestion is to add an option to not log/store anything on the database and zero cookies. You can’t go more GDPR compliant than that, once for good.

In reply to: [WP-PostRatings] GDPR ComplianceBut I don’t think I can do anything on my plugin end for that though.
Your polls plugin has a no logging option (yet it still stores IPs on the database).
Maybe you could add a working no logging option to both of them. GDPR compliance basically is “do not store any kind of user data, do not left any cookie”.

In reply to: [WP-PostRatings] GDPR ComplianceI have pushed a small fixed to GitHub and hopefully, this will solve the GDPR issue.
This plugin stores your IP address and Hostname when you vote. So what this fix does is just masked the last bit of IP address before storing to the database. Example: 127.0.0.1 will become 127.0.0.xxx. And a Hostname of 127-0-0-1.isp.com.sg will become just isp.com.sg.
You’re storing partial user data. Not sure that is enough to comply.
Cookies just store the value u rated, it doesn’t track the user.
This law force you to have user consent before you left a cookie and after that, they force you to declare what the cookie is for.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP-PostRatings] GDPR ComplianceI am still thinking of a better fix. Does anyone know if hashing an IP and storing it violates GDPR?
What about an option to disable IP/Hosting storing. Just blank this field.
I just emptied rating_ip, rating_host and rating_username from my database.
The most offending piece of code right now are cookies.
In the future, a new law will force them to go, all of them.

In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] search form and sub-categories not working?Well, I put my minimu installation online and the searcher came back to live! 🙂
For my sub-categories issue I used a work around. I don’t know if 0.6.4 updated was related to this.
No, I haven’t looked at xml sitemaps at all with this plugin. I’ve added this to the todo list though.
I actually have an idea to solve this 🙂 There is a way to generate a sitemap pasting some code like this one in your theme’s functions.php;
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]
I didn’t try it yet but it could be useful to create a particular “eg_create_sitemap” function for each category that is assigned a new domain.
Regarding the searcher, I could send to you my website’s addresses so you can check yourself if you want. I have a list of two or three things that aren’t working ok.
Hi Shelkie;
Did you manage to generate a minimu sitemap.xml in any other way?
BTW, I successfully installed my minimu sites online. Your plugin rock ass 🙂
I still didn’t manage to have some functions working though. I’m working on the searcher, it always report a “not found” message.

In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] search form and sub-categories not working?My htaccess are the default rules that WP generates whenever you do a fresh install;
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /parentweb/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /parentweb/index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressDo you need to change anything so MiniMu works?
An update on the subcategories issue;
This;
http://2ndDomain.com/category/2ndDomain/subcategory-for-2nddomain
…still doesn’t work
But it works whenever you substitute “2ndDomain” or you just remove it. This works;
http://2ndDomain.com/category/subcategory-for-2nddomain
…and this works too;
http://2ndDomain.com/category/sdfsdfsdfsdf/subcategory-for-2nddomain
It is like if your plugin put subcategories at the same hierarchical level than categories. If this is the case, I don’t dislike it at all, it is a nice feature.

In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] search form and sub-categories not working?Ok, another finding;
http://smashlab.com
http://2ndDomain.com
http://3rdDomain.comThis;
http://2ndDomain.com/category/2ndDomain/subcategory-for-2nddomain
…doesn’t work. But if I change 2ndDomain for 3rdDomain after /category/;
http://2ndDomain.com/category/3RDDOMAIN/subcategory-for-2nddomain
…it works like charms.
And I tried the same for 3rdDomain. This
http://3rdDomain.com/category/3rdDomain/subcategory-for-3rddomain
…doesn’t work. But this;
http://3ndDomain.com/category/2NDDOMAIN/subcategory-for-3nddomain
…works ok.
I didn’t sort the searcher problem out yet.

In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] search form and sub-categories not working?Hi;
Perhaps the problem is that you are working with subdomains;
http://minimu.smashlab.com
http://blog1.smashlab.com
http://blog2.smashlab.comAnd I’m working with 3 different full domains;
http://smashlab.com
http://2ndDomain.com
http://3rdDomain.comForum: Plugins
In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] search form and sub-categories not working?Ok, let’s say that parent web is http://minimu.smashlab.com and you create two categories for two new domains, blog1, blog2.
http://minimu.smashlab.com
-> category blog1 -> http://blog1.com
-> category blog2 -> http://blog2.comOn my installation the equivalent to this;
http://minimu.smashlab.com/category/miscellaneous-category/
…works ok. Tags like this;
http://minimu.smashlab.com/tag/misc-1/
…are working ok.
If I create a sub category for http://minimu.smashlab.com “miscellaneous-category”;
http://minimu.smashlab.com/category/miscellaneous-category/miscellaneous-category-for-smashlab
…works ok.
However, If I create a sub-category for blog1 or blog2;
http://blog1.com/category/blog1/miscellaneous-category-for-blog1
or
http://blog2.com/category/blog2/miscellaneous-category-for-blog2
…then the web starts to do weird things. The template is not working ok and the wp navigation “older posts – newer post” points to http://minimu.smashlab.com instead of pointing to http://blog1.com or http://blog2.com
Finally, the searcher works ok on http://minimu.smashlab.com but whenever you try a search on http://blog1.com or http://blog2.com, you get a “Nothing Found”. This was using Twenty Eleven theme.

In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] Listing all posts in the parent domainFor SEO, I think redirecting would be perfect. While searching for a solution I came across this line for the htaccess file;
RedirectMatch 301 ^/category/category1/?(.*)$ http://2ndDomain.com/category/category1/$1
It should redirect categories from the parent domain to the second domain
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] Listing all posts in the parent domainThanks for your answer Shelkie;
The problem whenever you assign the same post to two or more domains is that it is not good for SEO. Google will penalize both domains for duplicate content.
When I do so with MiniMu, permalinks of posts that are listed in the parent web and belongs to category 1 or category 2, still point to parent web domain;
MainWeb .com/my-post
For avoiding SEO problems, permalinks of posts listed on the parent web, MainWeb .com, must point to the 2nd or 3rd Domain;
MainWeb .com
2ndDomain .com/my-postBTW, since I’m going to be working with your plugin for a while, I can comment all issues I find. So far, I have noticed something weird with sub-categories.
When I splitted my web like this;
MainWeb .com
2ndDomain .com ->(category 1)
3rdDomain .com ->(category 2)…I sub-divided each category in sub-categories;
MainWeb .com
2ndDomain .com ->(category 1)
– sub-category 1
– sub-category 2
3rdDomain .com ->(category 2)
– sub-category 1
– sub-category 2Well, links to each sub-category end up being like this;
2ndDomain .com/category/category 1/sub-category 1
This looks weird. Since categories are working as independent domains, sub-categories would look better like this;
2ndDomain .com/category/sub-category 1
or even better with a no category base;
2ndDomain .com/sub-category 1

In reply to: [MiniMU] [Plugin: MiniMU] Nesting error in Minimu pluginOk, I have it working now. I did a fresh install of everything; wamp latest version, wp latest version, minimu latest version, no other plugins, default theme, new database. I got rid of the nesting error and I successfully configured several domains.
I still haven’t caught what was causing this problem. I guess somekind of backwards compatibility with anything I had installed.
