[📖] Integration guide for Wordpress

Suggestion

Hey all,

I've been trying to set partytown up for a wordpress website and realised there's no documentation on how that should work. I've been coming across a bunch of issues as a result. Would be really nice if there was a WP section so I could know I'm on the right path - so I thought I'd drop a suggestion.

Thanks!

Hi, I have no experience with WP, I'm sorry. You can drop your questions here.
If you find a way to use it, feel free to drop a PR.

Hey there,

Happy New Year and thanks for the reply. I'll type out what I've done so far and the questions I'm having.

So I went with the basic html-type integration. Essentially I added the code to the header.php file of my custom theme. Here's what that currently looks like:

<script>
	partytown = {
		forward: ["dataLayer.push"],
		debug: true,
		logCalls: true,  // This probably isn't right
	};
</script>

<script>/* Partytown 0.11.0 - MIT QwikDev */
	**Pasted entire contents of partytown.js** 
</script>

Then did <script type="text/partytown"> to all the relevant 3rd party scripts, in this case being analytics.js, gtm and a cookie manager script.

The partytown files are located in the root directory of my website as below:

I'm currently getting a successful call to partytown-sw.js and the thread worker seems registered and active:

But as you can see I'm also getting a 404 for the .html file. Another issue is I'm not getting verbose logging in my console tab at all. I am not sure exactly how to enable the logging to begin with - I couldn't find a clear explanation in the docs for this.

I am not certain whether I'm loading the partytown script correctly either. I've tried pasting the partytown-snippet.js code instead, same end result.

If anyone can offer any help or point out any mistakes I'm making I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for the update.
From this issue #629 I can see that @westonruter is trying to do a similar thing. 👀

I think the issue in that thread is a bit more advanced than what I'm trying to do here. I'm trying to set up a basic integration, #629 is dealing with the woocommerce plugin. That said I think @westonruter has successfully dealt with the basic integration before moving onto connecting it with WooCommerce so perhaps he could help me out

I've put together a basic integration in the Web Worker Offloading plugin. Using that plugin, you can easily opt-in a script to be offloaded to Partytown via this PHP code:

wp_script_add_data( $script_handle, 'worker', true );

The plugin also has built-in integrations with a few popular plugins for offloading gtag to Partytown.
