Pardot script commenting itself out

    Hi guys, just noticed that the pardot plugin for WordPress seems to be commenting itself out inside the <script> tag, why would this be occuring if all settings authenticate successfully? I have selected our campaign within WordPress and haven’t changed anything.

    Here’s an example of what its doing and according to our developer this is automated via the plugin, its not manually inserted or edit by them (i’ve taken out our ID’s for the sake of this topic)

    <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
piCId = '#';
piAId = '#';

(function() {
	function async_load(){
		var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript';
		s.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://pi' : 'https://cdn') + '.pardot.com/pd.js';
		var c = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; c.parentNode.insertBefore(s, c);
	}
	if(window.attachEvent) { window.attachEvent('onload', async_load); }
	else { window.addEventListener('load', async_load, false); }
})();
-->
</script><script type='text/javascript'>

    We’re also running seperate pardot tracking code inside an iframe but the pardot code is slightly different but uses the same Campaign ID, any idea what could be causing this?

    While it looks like it’s commenting itself out, this is actually a pretty old practice with Javascript tags. Your script should be working just fine. ??

    Why are you running another instance of the tracking code inside an iframe?

    Hi Cliff, thanks for the prompt response.

    We’re not currently able to view page tracking at the moment and we’re trying to fathom out why. The commenting out immediately made us think it’s not working correctly or that perhaps the iframe pardot tracking is interfering somehow.

    I’ve been asking that exact question with our developer. As far as i understand it, our contact form on our site is inside an iframe and not directly on the page so the developers were asked to insert tracking inside that section to possibly track the submission.

    I read up on Pardot that the thank you page of a form is tracked anyways so i’m not sure if the tracking code inside the iframe is of any use in the first place.

    Correct, you don’t need to add any additional code to an embedded Pardot form. It will correctly track everything automatically.

    From here, I would check with Pardot Support to help ensure campaign tracking is working properly. If you see it in the source code of your website, then the code has been put in properly and should be collecting data.
