Help with Applause? about support HOT 6 CLOSED

Be sure to test liking it from a completely different device/browser/IP. For example, try using your phone while NOT connected to WiFi.

Hey you're right! Thank you so much!

Oh whoops I must've done something wrong! All of them switched to 2 at the same time. Can we clap different things independently on a same page?

from support.

Ah, so the applause count is based on the page's URL, and unless you explicitly set them to something different, they'll automatically just use whatever's shown in your browser bar.

If you want to set different counts for different parts of the same page, you can use anchors/hashtags, like so:

[applause url="https://example.com/#cats"]

[applause url="https://example.com/#dogs"]

👋🏼 @bhadaway thanks for the awesome plugin!

I noticed that #fragments are not submitted (inspecting the dev-tools when clicking the applause)!

I wonder if it is an issue at the WP plugin level or at the underlying https://applause-button.com/ level 🤔

We ended up removing the # even though the URL doesn't point to any page:

- [applause url="https://example.com/#cats"]
+ [applause url="https://example.com/cats"]

Yes, I'm guessing that the Applause dev overlooks # to avoid duplicates/mismatches. And yes, your solution works fine, as long as the URL doesn't actually exist in order to avoid collision. So, best to use really unique identifiers:

[applause url="https://example.com/page-section-1"]
[applause url="https://example.com/page-section-2"]
