Title: Query String Disable Plugins Last modified: June 16, 2020 --- # Query String Disable Plugins * Resolved [Tim Dueck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duecktimothy/) * (@duecktimothy) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-string-disable-plugins/) * Hello, * Once again, love this plugin! I’m having an issue with URLs that contain query strings at the end. It seems that if a query string is added than all the plugins are loaded regardless of them being blocked with your plugin. Just wondering what your recommendation would be for this? * Examples of urls * `example.com/store` (Plugins are disabled – Working Properly) * `example.com/store?gclid=4534512423` (Plugins are not disabled – Not Working Properly) - This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by [Tim Dueck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duecktimothy/).

If this is a single page, I think the per-page filter will work, but if it’s an archive page or something like that, you might be able to set up a ‘URL Filter for Expert’. * Add the keyword `store` to the URL filter and filter it. * Thread Starter [Tim Dueck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duecktimothy/) * (@duecktimothy) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-string-disable-plugins/#post-12995785) * It is a custom post type taxonomy page. So if I set the url filter to `store` will it allow your plugin to run on that page? The problem is that currently I am disabling plugins to be only on specific pages, but on these taxonomies it ignores your plugin and doesn’t listen to the page rules that I’ve set. * Plugin Author [enomoto celtislab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enomoto-celtislab/) * (@enomoto-celtislab) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-string-disable-plugins/#post-12996104) * Currently the URL filter does not reflect the filter for a specific page if there is a keyword match within the request URL. * URL filter ‘store’ makes it difficult. * If it’s a taxonomy page with a custom post type, do you see a custom post type in the page type filter? * If the custom post type is displayed, I think you can filter it if you set it there, but depending on the target plugin, there may be a case where you can’t process it well. * Thread Starter [Tim Dueck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duecktimothy/) * (@duecktimothy) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-string-disable-plugins/#post-12998741) * So the URL filter is doing the exact opposite of what I need when I use the URL filter it allows the plugins to run on the taxonomy pages. I am wanting to disable certain plugins on these pages since they load way more than is necessary. * Also like I mentioned your plugin is working correctly how I want, I am able to set up your plugin nicely on my taxonomy pages. However, as soon as a question mark indicating a query string is added to the end of the URL your plugin no longer works as it’s supposed to. * `example.com/store` – This works how it should, all bloat from extra plugins is disabled * `example.com/store?123` – Your plugin does not run, meaning that all this extra bloat from certain plugins is enabled on these pages. * Another plugin that his a similar feature is the redirection plugin, here it explains how this feature works under the `Query Parameters` heading. [https://redirection.me/support/matching-a-url/](https://redirection.me/support/matching-a-url/) * Let me know if that makes sense? * Plugin Author [enomoto celtislab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enomoto-celtislab/) * (@enomoto-celtislab) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-string-disable-plugins/#post-13001669) * The problem here is that `example.com/store` will be recognized as an archive and the ‘ If you use `example.com/store?123` , it is recognized as a single page. I guess that’s what I’m saying. * `example.com/store?123` must also be recognized as an archive It’s not, but somehow it’s not. * However, this behavior is dependent on the plugin or theme. * For example, if you’re using WooCommerce, the ‘store’ page may or may not be recognized as an archive, depending on whether or not the theme supports WooCommerce. * Programmatically, it is judged by WP functions such as is_archive(), is_page(), is_single(), etc., but it may not be able to be judged correctly depending on the plugins or themes you are using. * The way to deal with the problem is to switch to a theme or plugin that doesn’t cause any problems. Or you can use the URL filter instead of using functions like is_archive(), is_page(), etc. * However, the current URL filter doesn’t seem to have enough functionality… * As for the URL filter, we’re planning to develop it as an add-on with more features, so it should be able to handle problems like this one in the future. * Thread Starter [Tim Dueck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duecktimothy/) * (@duecktimothy) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/query-string-disable-plugins/#post-13004760) * [@enomoto-celtislab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enomoto-celtislab/) Ok that makes sense, thank you for the in-depth explanation and bearing with me. Once again, love this plugin! Thank you for taking the time to help me. * Have a great day!
