Title: Bug report: Console errors on admin dashboard Last modified: January 28, 2022 --- # Bug report: Console errors on admin dashboard * Resolved [doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/) * (@doffine) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/) * Hello [@shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/), * at first thanks for your plugin. We found some console errors showing up on the admin dashboard. * To reproduce it is enough to take a complete, fresh installation of WordPress and just install+activate your plugin. Instantly the console errors are there. * It is one “unhandled_error” and one “Uncaught Error: Component closed” error. Both of the seem to have something to do with JavaScript loaded from paypal.com by your plugin. * First we think you will want to fix these console errors. * Second we ask ourselves, why our dashboard has to contact paypal.com at all, just because of your YouTube WordPress plugin. We don’t have anything to do with PayPal in this moment. So why are these connections made? * Additionally to the errors above we ask ourselves why your plugin makes so many connections to external services on the dashboard. We see connections to gumroad. com, facebook.net, newrelic.com, stripe.com, cloudflareinsights.com, google-analytics. com, google.com, googletagmanager.com, gstatic.com and at least again paypal. com. * We never consented to all of these many connections and just want to have a YouTube plugin – and nothing more. We don’t want to get tracked in our admin backends or anything similar. * Greetings, -doffine Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/) * (@shehabulislam) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15306926) * Hi [@doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/), * first, we are sorry for this. * above you mention the plugin name ‘YouTube WordPress plugin’ but this plugin name is ‘Html5 Video Player’ * are you sure, you are talking about this plugin? in the free version of this plugin, no youtube feature is available. * and last our plugin does not create a connection with ‘facebook.net, newrelic. com, stripe.com, cloudflareinsights.com, google-analytics.com, google.com, googletagmanager. com, gstatic.com and at least again paypal.com.’ * this plugin only creates a connection with gumroad.com * Thank you * Plugin Author [shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/) * (@shehabulislam) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15345192) * Hi, * maybe you are talking about another plugin. * I am closing this topic for now. * Thank you * Thread Starter [doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/) * (@doffine) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15346926) * Hello [@shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/), * two times sorry: 1) I didn’t get an email to your first response, so I couldn’t react in time. 2) It was my fault to write about a “YouTube WordPress plugin”. I’m just the technician here, not the one using this plugin. But, indeed, I meant your plugin – no other. * So I have to substantiate that your plugin causes some problems. That is completely reproducible. * If you don’t believe, please just go to wpsandbox.net, get you a fresh WP installation and just install + activate your plugin – nothing else. * (At least) in the admin dashboard… * 1) …you will find several JavaScript console errors having something to do with paypal.com – I think it has got something to do with your dashboard widget. * 2) …you will find many external connections. Also take a look with Firefox in the external connections (F12 > Debugger > Sources), not only with Chrome. * 3) As long as your plugin is active installing a theme manually from a ZIP file doesn’t work, since in “Appearance” > “Add new” the “Upload Theme” button on the top doesn’t work / is no more clickable. As soon as we deactivate your plugin this button works again. * So I revoked the mark as “resolved” of this thread for now. * Please try the above on your own. * Greetings, -doffine * Plugin Author [shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/) * (@shehabulislam) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15348964) * Hi [@doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/) * I am sorry but still, I am confused. would you please give me the plugin exact name or the plugin slug? * Thank you * Thread Starter [doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/) * (@doffine) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15352279) * Hello [@shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/), * no problem. * The exact name of the plugin I install is “Html5 Video Player – mp4 player, Video Player for WordPress”. I guess the slug is “html5-video-player” – at least that’s the plugin’s folder name. * It is really not difficult to reproduce the bugs I stated above. It costs only a few clicks. * 1. Surf to wpsandbox.net 2. Click on “Create test site”. 3. Wait some seconds and log in there. 4. Then you install and activate nothing but your plugin. 5. Activate your browser’s JS console. 6. Get back to admin dashboard and, to be safe, reload it one time. 7. You’ll see the JS errors related to paypal.com addresses. * If you want to see more… Also on the dashboard: Take then a look with Firefox and Chrome in the external sources where connections are made to. There are a lot. As soon as you deactivate your plugin they are all gone. * And if you want to see even a clear bug… Go to “Appearance” > “Add new” and you will see that the “Upload Theme” button doesn’t work as long as your plugin is activated. * Greetings, -doffine * Plugin Author [shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/) * (@shehabulislam) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15357642) * Hello [@doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/), * Thanks for your time. it was from gumroad. we removed and also fixed the theme upload issue. * Thread Starter [doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/) * (@doffine) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15363852) * Hello [@shehabulislam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shehabulislam/), * well done – after the current update all problems are gone. Just the current changelog is missing in the ZIP and here on wordpress.org. * Thank you for your work and the nice plugin, -doffine Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Bug report: Console errors on admin dashboard’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/html5-video-player/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=3475122) * [HTML5 Video Player – Embed and Play Videos in Custom Player](https://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-video-player/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-video-player/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/html5-video-player/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/html5-video-player/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/html5-video-player/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/html5-video-player/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [doffine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doffine/) * Last activity: [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-console-errors-on-admin-dashboard/#post-15363852) * Status: resolved
