All links on site are broken after 6.0.12 update

I switched the site back to 6.0.11 and the problem does not exist.

Hi there,
After updating to 6.0.12 you will need to clear your frontend cache. Once you’ve done this if you still have issues, if you could post the URL of the site with issues, that’d help

Thanks,
Chris

Yes, the cache was cleared on the server and from the browsers with no effects. The site (which is now running 6.0.11 of the plugin) is https://georgiabulletin.org

Hi there,
Can you update it back to the .12 version so we can see the issue?

Thanks,
Chris

Not at present, but if I get a chance I will create a staging copy of the site where I would be more than happy to do so for testing. At the moment I need to the site functional.

I found the same problem on another one of our sites. We have cleared the server cache and the browser cache and the problem remains. By disabling your plugin and clearing the caches again the problem goes away. I have enabled your plugin so you can test the issue on the newest version.

The two links to PDFs files are not working at the bottom
EC 2017 Exhibit Hall Floor Plan
EC 2017 Registration and Terms and Conditions

The browser (in this case Opera) shows the link, but when you click nothing happens.

I’ve noticed this same issue on a handful of sites today after updating too. When clicking a bunch of data is logged to the dev tools js console and the link isn’t followed.

clearing caches seems to resolve the issue. frustrating, but at least it works.

I’m also having this issue but with outbound links, only.

In my case, setting “Track outbound clicks and download links?” to “No” in this plugin’s settings resolves the issue.

When the setting is set to “Using Javascript (recommended)” I see the following output in the browser debug console and the click event is consumed:

__gaTracker.hasOwnProperty(loaded)
true
__gaTracker.loaded
true
Event.which: 1
El: 
<span>Order Today!</span>
Will track: true
Link: Outbound URL
Extension: 
Protocol: https:
External: true
Current domain: sparkellc.com
Link domain: www.amazon.com
Type: external
Control Key: false
Shift Key: false
Meta Key: false
Which Key: 1
Target: false

I edited the line that starts with “Link:” to avoid placing an amazon.com URL to our product in this forum.

I found the issue on another of our sites. I haven’t turned off the setting for “Track outbound clicks and download links” so the issue is still happening. I left it like this intentionally in case you need to see it in action.

If it helps, take a look at this page:
https://www.delawarelivablelawns.org/certified-businesses

The click on the link for R&L Irrigation Services, Inc. is being consumed by Javascript.

I imagine the other links on the page work because they are internal or target=_blank.

Thanks and great plugin! Let me know if you need any other debugging.

thanks @ecgifford, setting “Track outbound clicks and download links?” worked for me too on a few dozen affected sites.

Hi there,
We’ve identified the issue which is being caused by a boolean variable getting improperly set as a string in the outbound JS. We will have a release out within the next 30 minutes as version 6.0.13.

The release is out

Except the new release does nothing to fix the problem. You guys should be testing releases before publishing them. My busy site has been down for half a day because of the issue and after updating to 6.0.13 and clearing all caches, the problem remained.

What is your website url?

-Chris

Here it is: Photography Life

I figured out what’s broken. It is the “Track outbound clicks and download links” feature. The moment it is enabled, the debug mode gets turned on. Please fix ASAP, as I am sure many plugin users are utilizing this feature.
