Advice on Replace URLs + CDN

[Barbell]

Hi,

So changing ID classes works fine with Replace in HTMl.

But I’d like to change the url slightly as well.

So instead of:

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’maskedname-css’ href=’http://cdn.mysite.com/ext/658a2322/css/some-plugin.css&#8217; type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

This:

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’maskedname-css’ href=’http://cdn.mysite.com/ext/658a2322/css/maskedname.css‘ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

Or:

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’maskedname-css’ href=’http://cdn.mysite.com/maskedname.css‘ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

As long as the name is masked.

The problem is that I can’t get it to work while using my CDN.

Any idea if it can work with a CDN?

What I used was:

wp-content/plugins/my-plugin/css/myplugin.css == maskedname.css

I’ve also used other combinations with the cdn path included or with the modified permalinks & URLs included in the URL but couldn’t get it to work.

This works without the cdn activated but breaks with cdn activated.

I’ll attach my HMWP settings in a private reply.

Hi, you can change the IDs in tags but it’s not recommended to change ID/class names in other tags like <div class=”xyz”>; <div id=”xyz”>; <span class=”xyz”>; etc. as doing so might break site’s styling.

The following replacement you have done is correct:
wp-content/plugins/my-plugin/css/myplugin.css ==> maskedname.css

But as you are using CDN, you’ll need to input your CDN URL in “CDN path” option under HMWP general settings tab – http://codecanyon.net/item/hide-my-wp-no-one-can-know-you-use-wordpress/4177158/faqs/17469

So I’ve just been testing.

Without using a CDN it works. The URL to the stylesheet has changed and the layout is still intact. The replaced url now looks like http://www.mysite.com/maskedname.css

But when I enter the CDN url in HMWP the replaced URL is not affected, it’s still http://www.mysite.com/maskedname.css

While all other URLs to css, js etc. are linked to cdn.

Can you please let us know your website’s wp-admin login details (as private reply) so that we can have a look at the issue further?

I know, I use W3TC. I tried the cdn option of HMWP to see if I could get replace url above working that way. But it doesn’t work either way. Only works without using a cdn.

Have you had a chance to take a look yet?

For, s-p.css path you’ll need to add following in replace in html:
http://www.mountmuscle.com/s-p.css => cdn.mountmuscle.com/s-p.css

In HMWP to make use of multiple host names, remove cdn url from “cdn path” field in HMWP and add following replacements in “replace in html”:

http://www.mountmuscle.com/dsgn => cdn.mountmuscle.com/dsgn/
http://www.mountmuscle.com/file/ => cdn2.mountmuscle.com/file/
http://www.mountmuscle.com/other/ => cdn3.mountmuscle.com/other/
http://www.mountmuscle.com/ext/ => cdn4.mountmuscle.com/ext/

Alright thanks I’ll check it out, I saw you’ve made these changes.

I’ve also activated W3TC and disabled CDN in W3TC. Since HMWP takes care if that with the above changes.

Any idea if all these changes and replaced URLs I will be adding have a negative inpact on site speed (theoretically)?

[Suman M.]

It does not impact on site speed.

[Barbell]

Thanks.

I created another entry in Replace in HTML and Replace in URL like you’ve done.

But for some reason my entry is not working when W3TC is activated, I’ve emptied all caches multiple times, also purged CDN and Cloudflare. It works fine with W3TC deactivated.

Do you happen to have a clue why my entry is not working with W3TC activated?
