Plug-in breaks Geomate

[lenvanessen]

Hi There,

As soon as Blitz is enabled, Geomate stops working. Not sure if this is on your end or on Geomates, but it would be great if this can be resolved!

Ps, we're not using nginx or apache te server files, so the request is coming to Craft

[bencroker]

How are you using Geomate, with template tags or using the redirectMap config option? Since Blitz intercepts the request as early as possible, it is likely that Geomate is not performing the redirect early enough.

[lenvanessen]

@bencroker I'm using it with the redirectMap. So this is something that Geomate needs to resolve?

[bencroker]

We're looking into a workaround to make this work.

[lenvanessen]

@bencroker cool. I know that on the other thread you mentioned a fix is ready on dev. When will this be released?

[bencroker]

Likely today.

Released in 3.5.1.

Hi @bencroker ,
I have the same problem. When I enable cache in Blitz plugin settings then redirection from geomate no longer works for me. I use Blitz v3.11.1 and Geomate v1.3.1.2. Redirection setup is in geomate.php and I use redirectMap.
On urls that are excluded from caching geomate redirection works well.
Is there a solution for this problem?

[bencroker]

@tihoq if Geomate was installed after Blitz then it may not be firing early enough. The simple workaround is to uninstall and then reinstall Blitz in the plugin settings page.

@bencroker
I uninstalled and removed both plugins. After that I installed geomat first, then blitz, but that didn't help.

[bencroker]

Did you clear the Blitz cache after reinstalling them? And are you using server redirects with Blitz?

[tihoq]

@bencroker
Yes, I deleted the Blitz cache before and after the reinstallation, I also deleted the craft cache. Yes, we use server redirects with Blitz.

[bencroker]

Ok, so the server redirects will kick in before Geomate has had a chance to do its thing. Removing the server redirects should solve this for you.
