hiding the banner does not work

Hoi @jokkie,

Did you use the MU plugin, or the native option?

If you could show me the landing page, that might be helpful.

In both cases, try to clear cache as well, and/or try incognito.

Hi Aert,

I used the option on the page settings as you can see here, it’s activated.
The first page is this one.

I already tried different browsers incognito mode, but unfortunately, the cookie banners keeps popping up at the first page.

Thanks for the support!
Kind regards,
Jonas

Hi @jokkie,

It redirects twice for me, from /landing to / to /mystika

If you want to disable on multiple pages, or post types there are other options. Disabling on your Homepage requires another solution as well, as we’re taking the string after / and using it in a filter.

Let me know the desired outcome, which page(s). I can help you out,

regards Aert

Hi Aert,

/landing is the homepage, that’s where I want to disable the cookie banner, so it doesn’t block the preloader animation (especially on mobile)

Thank you!!

Kind regards,
Jonas

Hi @jokkie,

If I understand your question correctly, you would like to hide the banner during the animation, which is actually on the root URL, correct? After the animation, there is a redirect to /mystika, for which it seems fine if the cookie banner is displayed.

Did you try just to disable the cookie banner on the root URL? If it doesn’t work, I recommend to use the MU-plugin, as my colleague and the article suggested: https://complianz.io/excluding-pages-from-the-cookie-banner/

Kind regards,
Leon

Hi Leon,

I want to disable the banner on the root indeed, the problem is, I think, I just can’t enter the page id/slug (“landing”) in the PHP code, because it’s the root.
I tried to disable it with the method in the page editor but that does not seem to work unfortunately.

Thank you!
Kind regards,
Jonas

Hi @jokkie,

Please try the mu-plugin solution. I suspect that that will work.

Kind regards,
Leon

Ok could you guide me how to use that please?

Thank you so much
Jonas

Hi @jokkie,

We have described that step by step here: https://complianz.io/excluding-pages-from-the-cookie-banner/

Hi,

I’ve added a php file in the /wp-content/mu-plugins folder but now I get a WordPress error.

<?php
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) or die( "you do not have acces to this page!" );

/**
 * Filter post types for cookiewarning
 * It's too early to use global $post or url_to_postid(), so we do a simple text comparison
 *
 * @param int $cookiewarning_required
 *
 * @return bool
 */

function cmplz_my_filter_site_needs_cookiewarning( $cookiewarning_required) {
	$url = is_ssl() ? "https" : "http";
	$url .= "://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

	//don't show cookie banner on page where the URL contains the parameter "shop"
	if ( strpos( $url, 'landing' ) !== false ) {
		$cookiewarning_required = false;

		//to disable the cookieblocker, uncomment the following
		define('CMPLZ_DO_NOT_BLOCK', true);
	}

	return $cookiewarning_required;
}

add_filter( 'cmplz_site_needs_cookiewarning', 'cmplz_my_filter_site_needs_cookiewarning' );

Hi @jokkie,

You can set the file to .txt to fix it. I tried your MU plugin without issues, so maybe it would be wise to enable debugging and see the error.

You can find the example here; https://app.instawp.io/wordpress-auto-login?site=%242y%2410%24wQfD9K.Au2.KHpPMTp5HZenSezt%2F0e7Es6sS54autJ3L0CdRKQvdq

Under File Manager you see my implementation.

Hi Aert,

I fixed the PHP error. I copied the exact code from your example and put that in the cookiebanner.php at /wpcontent/mu-plugins

However, when testing incognito, the banner still shows up at the front page.

Could it really not having to do with the fact that mystika.be/landing gets redirected automatically to the root mystika.be, so the PHP script with ‘landing’ is therefore not applied?

Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate this ??

Hi @jokkie, yes, this reverts back to my previous message:

“It redirects twice for me, from /landing to / to /mystika

If you want to disable on multiple pages, or post types there are other options. Disabling on your Homepage requires another solution as well, as we’re taking the string after / and using it in a filter.

Let me know the desired outcome, which page(s). I can help you out”

If you can let me know what you want to achieve in detail, I can see what we can.

Hi Aert,

Ok well then I need the solution for disabling on my homepage as well, that’ll do the trick I guess ??

Thank you!
Jonas
