Blocking embeds' trackers?

Anonymous User 8639124 — Tue, 05 Jan 2016 21:25:01 +0000

My site makes pretty heavy use of Scribd.com to embed PDFs. One of the ways Scribd finances itself is by including trackers (for user data collection to sell to advertisers), but those trackers turn out to be huge files. We have a decently sized readership in countries with slow connections, so sometimes I worry about this kind of stuff.

Scribd-related assets add up to ~600kb per pageload:

So granted, 1) Scribd is free so this is how they’re paying for themselves and 2) I could take a bunch of time and set up a different way to feature the PDFs, but I’m curious: are there ways to block individual trackers from the site’s (not the user’s) end? Almost like an ad-track blocker for hosts?

Scribd isn't working on WP 4.2.2

steve02a — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 17:52:18 +0000

Here’s what I’m inputting on a page on my site:

[scribd id=49670924 key=key-drkmwvf89exm352h830 mode=scroll]

When I view the page, that code shows. Not the actual PDF file in my scribd library. I searched around and saw people where having this issue, but that was back on WordPress version 2.x. I’m using the latest 4.2.2. I really don’t want to host 50-60 PDF files on my own site – would so much rather use the Scribd, since I have a nice library built out. But why isn’t it working in wordpress?

Scribd Document Reader empty

The scribd shortcode [scribd id=239928130 key=key-qH4mtuBKN8LFxOwdABYE mode=scroll] doesn’t load the scribd reader on this page https://www.hrnerr.org/hudson-river-sustainable-shorelines/shorelines-engineering/ or nay any site on a wp multisite network. It does print out “View this document on Scribd” though nothing loads in the reader.

Iframe in scheduled post disappear when publishing

Doc75 — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:50:32 +0000

Hi, I had a few post that embedded, via iframe YouTube videos or Scribd document, and i scheduled them for later publishing.

While the post were in draft, the embedded content was just fine, but when the post was published the iframe disappeared. If I re-insert it again, it then works fine again.

I was wandering what could cause the loss of the iframe when post status changed from draft to published.

Thank you,
Marco

Scribd Embed is working except "Download"

ccolotti — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:04:27 +0000

I have a document using the scribd wordpress shortcode. it all works except the “Download” link in the upper left does nothing:

https://beta.chriscolotti.us/vmware/vcloud/vcloud-on-vblock-considerations/

I had to resort to the flash version on my production site which does work. There is nothing I can find as to why everything but that works. Is it a scribd issue or WP issue?

I can use the flash but it is just more code to insert instead of the nice shortcode.

Scribd embed code does not work

gscorp — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 18:37:32 +0000

When I paste the Scribd embed code for WordPress into my blog, the Scribd reader does not appear. Only the code
https://gregorymancuso.com/2011/03/scribd-test-embed/

This is what I pasted… [scribd id=27148972 key=key-2e0vb2md1uwvxgmyotrg mode=list]

When I used the older embed code in my earlier posts, the reader appeared and worked fine.

This is old code I pasted…

Scribd code not working!

rajesh0228 — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:17:39 +0000

The special code for WP that I’d copied from Scribd.com & pasted in my Page is not working. That is, instead of displaying the document the code is being displayed.

What could be the possible reasons?

Auto-creating WordPress post when adding PDF to Scribd

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:19:18 +0000

In an older version of our site based on a really bad CMS platform we were able to auto-create a post after uploading a document to Scribd.

User uploads PDF to Scribd, and information about the document
Using the API, a thumbnail of the document produced by Scribd and the associated text about the document was posted automatically to the CMS.

Is this kind of thing possible in WordPress using elementary PHP? I’m thinking when I upload a document to Scribd, with the accompanying details, it would using the API auto-create a post in the Magazine category so users of my WordPress site could see the latest publication.

I know of the iPaper plugin but that needs manual entry, which seems a step backwards from the way we were.

Thanks!
