WordPress and Site URL CORS problem

Resolved draiken

Hello!

We’ve been unable to even open the admin page of Disqus so far

I have a blog setup that has different Site URL and WordPress URL and I believe that’s the problem. Checking the console logs there are CORS errors because it tries to call wordpress urls on the configured site url.

I imagine if you just use the correct url for the API calls, everything will work

Thanks!

Do you have an example of a request which fails, and the URL of the page you’re accessing from?

We don’t seem to have any code which explicitly requests the configured site URL, but perhaps the APIs we’re using for the admin and REST URLs do. I’ll have to see if there’s any way to handle this, but I can at least point to what you need to update in the plugin to get it working for now.

Yeah ofc, here are the ones showing on my console when we try to open the admin page (wp-admin/admin.php?page=disqus)

https://www.replaypoker.com/blog/wp-json/disqus/v1/sync/status
https://www.replaypoker.com/blog/wp-json/disqus/v1/settings

Both fail with the message: Request header field X-WP-Nonce is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

Our WordPress URL is not http://www.replaypoker.com, so these requests would never work.

We found a decent way to handle this, which should appear in the next update: https://github.com/disqus/disqus-wordpress-plugin/commit/062d737a3dfab660a826a4ebef214457ff8bb313

You can always patch your current plugin by editing it with these additions, if you’d like to use it now.

TYVM!

Had I known this was on github I might’ve taken a stab at it… I saw only SVN repo here on WP

Once again, thanks for the quick response and fix.
