Enabling and disabling wp-parsely

By default, the wp-parsely plugin is available on all WordPress sites on the VIP Platform via VIP MU plugins. If wp-parsely is not loading for a site as expected, set the wpvip_parsely_load_mu filter to __return_true in the application’s /client-mu-plugins/plugin-loader.php. This file will need to be created if it does not yet exist.

/client-mu-plugins/plugin-loader.php
add_filter( 'wpvip_parsely_load_mu', '__return_true' );

If after setting the wpvip_parsely_load_mu filter to __return_true wp-parsely is still not loading for a site as expected, reach out to VIP Support for assistance.

Disabling wp-parsely

Disabling the wp-parsely plugin entirely is not recommended.

Data collection over an extended period of time is necessary for the Parse.ly dashboard and wp-parse.ly plugin features to provide useful content insights and suggestions (e.g., the Parse.ly Content Helper). If wp-parsely—or the Parse.ly Javascript tracker code—is disabled for any period of time, historical data for a site will not be available if the plugin is re-enabled and a period of time for data to accumulate once more will be required.

To disable wp-parsely from loading on a WordPress single site or for a multisite network, set the wpvip_parsely_load_mu filter to __return_false in the application’s /client-mu-plugins/plugin-loader.php. This file will need to be created if it does not yet exist.

/client-mu-plugins/plugin-loader.php
add_filter( 'wpvip_parsely_load_mu', '__return_false' );
