Hello,
After banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to embed dynamic content on an external Wordpress site, the wall finally broke before my head did.
I have been trying to find information about this but documentation has been rather sparse, or outdated so i tought i’d make a little writeup of my findings in hopes it might be useful to someone;
Im running Mautic 4.0.1
The Wordpress site is sitting on a different domain
I am running the WP Mautic plugin in Woocommerce, i guess it is a requirement but i have not tried without it so i can’t be sure.
I created dynamic content using both the methods mentioned here, Dynamic Web Content (DWC) | Mautic , both filter-based and campaign-based, but i could not get them to show up on the Wordpress site.
Forms generated by Mautic did show up, though, which i found strange.
Always test in another browser, i do the admining in Chrome but i use Edge as a “user-test-platform”, reason being you cant be logged in to Mautic at the same time, it won’t work
After sifting through the whole of Google, i saw mentioning of CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing).
I inspected the page and behold, CORS-errors that clearly stated that no access-control-allow-origin was present, my wordpress site was not whitelisted to request resources if i understand correctly what was going on.
So i entered this into the .htacess file on my Mautic installation;
Enable CORS
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin “https://pureest.se”
Which did not work, because i left out a www;
Added www, and then got new exciting errors;
Added this line to the htacess;
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true
and got new errors;
Finally added this line to htaccess;
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers: “X-Requested-With”
And was greeted by this;
Htacess additions i did not need to use, but found during my travels, i don’t know what these do but someone else might?
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods": “GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,POST,PUT”,
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers: “Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization”
Final shot of htaccess, green bits are commented out and not used;
I had never heard of a CORS and did not know whether it was a cheese or something you smoked before i ran into this, but I’m so glad i got it working! Hope this helps someone!
Cheers Carl
