RefTagger Not Working Until Page Refresh...

Mitch Fuqua

I'm having an issue with getting RefTagger to work properly.  First of all, it is a FANTASTIC plugin.  I am using it on my Wordpress.org site.  My issue is that when I load the page for the first time, RefTagger doesn't seem to load.  Once I refresh the page, then RefTagger loads and works as it should.  I've tried it on different browsers with the same result.  Any idea of what is causing the plug-in not to load initially?

Link to page:  http://redemptionbible.com/beliefs/

To get it to simulate the problem, go to the link above, navigate away from the page, and then back to the "Beliefs" page.  When you just paste the link above into the browser, it works.  Odd...

Thanks!

You appear to be using a plugin that customizes the behavior associated with clicking links: rather than the browser requesting an entirely new page, it only requests the article content and swaps this out. (using a technique called AJAX)

Because you're not going through the full page request cycle, the RefTagger script is not run on subsequent pages in your site.

To fix this, the easiest thing to do would be to disable whatever plugin is providing custom navigation.

Alternatively, you could switch to the non-plugin version of RefTagger, configure it to not run automatically, and edit the javascript for your site so that RefTagger is triggered when navigation completes. This solution would require knowledge of Javascript and is not something for which we could provide support.

Awesome!  Thanks for the AJAX tip.  I was able to disable the AJAX and it works great now.  Thanks!

@David Mitchell what is the "non-plugin version of RefTagger" and how do I get it?  I'm trying to find the script for refTagger that I can download and include with my site so that I can customize the tagging upon ajax requests exactly as you're describing here.  Thanks!

By "non-plugin", I mean the version that is described on https://reftagger.com/ and https://reftagger.com/customize/, rather than the WordPress plugin described on https://reftagger.com/wordpress-tutorial/
