WordPress Press This Not Working

Tweet

The bookmarklet for wordpress called “press this” is an amazing tool for bloggers.  For the past couple years, I’ve battled with some sites where it works, and some sites of mine where I will get a 404 page not found error.  This is very frustrating.

Today was a good day because I finally found a fix that works.  I would like to share this fix with you below.  I started by finding this site, which led me to this solution.

Here’s how you fix the “Press This” WordPress bookmarklet:

1. “Right-Click” on the bookmark button in your browser and click properties.
2. In “Location:”, replace this:

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

There ya go!  You fixed it.  Hopefully.
