PopUp being blocked in IE and Chrome

    I am trying to use the WordPress PopUp on a site for a company that has recently changed URLs and names. Both URLs map onto the same WordPress site. The idea was that if the visitor arrived to the site using the old URL then they would see a PopUp letting them know about the change in company name. If they come to the site using the new URL then no PopUp. This is working great in Firefox and Safari but both Chrome and IE are blocking it.

    Looking at the console output on both of these browsers they complain about the call to admin-ajax.php which is returning po_data. The error is “Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/html” and “because its MIME type (‘text/html’) is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.”

    As a test I changed the matching URL to the new URL and the PopUp works great across all browsers.

    It seems to be the combination of of the mime checking in certain browsers and the cross URL of a visitor arriving using the old URL but the call to admin-ajax.php using the new URL.

    Any ideas?

    Old URL https://www.malcolmgibb.com

    New URL https://www.purposerealestate.ca

    Thanks

    Hi James,

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

    I visited both of your sites but didn’t find the pop up on them.

    Are you displaying the pop up on any specific page?

    Could you please tell me on which IE and Chrome browser versions you are facing this issue so that we can troubleshoot it?

    Kind Regards,

    I am still seeing the PopUp on home page https://www.malcolmgibb.com in the following browsers.

    Windows: Firefox 33.1

    Mac OSX: Safari 5.1.10

    Linux:
    Firefox 31.1.
    Chromium 31.0.1650.63
    Chrome 26.0.1410.63.

    It doesn’t work on:

    Windows:
    Internet Explorer (latest Windows 7 version)
    Chrome 38.0.2125.111

    I had not tried the Linux versions. Interesting that it seems to work on that system.

    Thanks for help.

    Hi James,

    Thank you for your detailed reply.

    I could reproduce the issue on my test site therefore i have notified the plugin developer to fix it.

    It will be fixed shortly.

    Hi James,

    we’re currently working on a solution on this issue. However, it’s hard to reproduce the issue internally (one team member can reproduce it, but others cannot… Possibly it’s related to the Server-Configuration or so as )

    So until you wait for the next plugin update you can try to change the PopUp loading method to “Page Footer” (Go to PopUp > Settings). The error you are currently seeing only happens when loading the PopUp via Ajax.

    Hope this helps ??

    Philipp,

    Thanks for the work around, works great.

    Let me know if you need site access to do any debugging. The site is not hosted on our dedicated server so I can offer any server level debugging.

    Thanks

    I am experiencing the same issues.
    Not working on:
    Safari
    Chrome on Mac

    It is sporadic on Chrome on a PC though.

    Thanks

    Hi cbtnews,

    if you have the same error in the Browser console then you can try to use the Loading Method “Page Footer”. The error is related to Ajax calls and has something to do with the Server configuration and not directly with our plugin…

    This is the error I’m talking about:

    Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/html” and “because its MIME type (‘text/html’) is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled

    If the PopUp is not showing up with the Page Footer method then please give us the URL where the PopUp should be displayed, so we can check out the page and find the reason for the issue.

    Also you might want to check if you have any popup-blockers installed, as most of them are very good at what they say: Block PopUps!
    Btw: Our Pro plugin has a loading method “Anonymous Script” that we built to bypass almost any PopUp blocker!

    Thanks for your feedback and please keep us updated on your issue!
    Philipp
