One of the main purposes of finally using this domain is to create a place where I can quickly add links, bookmarks, snippets and other tidbits of information that spark ideas.

This is a textbook purpose for the “Press This” Bookmarklet

The “Press This” bookmarklet is something I have never had reason to use before and have zero experience with it.

At this time, on a brand new WordPress install fully updated, with the default theme, the Press This bookmarklet does NOT work in Chrome unless I actually am trying to “Press This” or “Add Link” while visiting this actual domain. Any relevant use from an external domain returns a 404 error.

Seems like an easy problem to solve. I’m not looking forward to digging into the press-this.php file as I already lost an hour or two yesterday figuring out how to fix Facebook Like plugins across dozens of domains.

“Solutions” for this error are easily found, with entries stemming back 4 or 5 years

u='+e(l.href)+'

Find this in the properties settings of the bookmark and

replace with:

u='+e(l.href.replace(/\//g,'\\/'))+'

The only problem with this solution is that it doesn’t work, in fact the intial search string doesnt even exactly exist.
