 * actually – not 100% sure that the solution is working. with your “Multisite Signup
   form” option ticked I’m now getting a higher than normal rate of sent emails 
   for verifying signups, all with dubious looking email addresses.
 *  I’ve reinstated my “hack”. I’ll see if that reduces it back to zero. if so, 
   I’ll update you

 * THANK YOU SO MUCH. I had totally missed that setting in the “Network” dashboard
   settings. Apologies for bothering you! But also thanks EVER so much – that has
   saved me worrying about upgrading. (I once upgraded and was inundated with sent
   emails from bogus addresses trying to register clogging up my sent items)

 * Hi – thanks for the message. I am running on 7.5.0 which I think is the latest
   version, but no catcha appeared on wp-signup.php until I made my customary amendments.
   Is there a configuration option I missed?

 * the line “Page Caching using disk: enhanced (Requested URI is rejected)” shows
   that the page is not cached. (Note that for logged in users we’re not caching
   any of these poll pages, but the issue still affects all users regardless of 
   site login status)
 * some object caching is happening, and I can’t turn that off selectively (I believe),
   let me know if I’m mistaken there, or if that will make a difference.
 * Cleared the caches, but it’s still happening.
 * this is specifically iOS safari, so I won’t try on another browser/device, sorry,
   but I checked in “private mode” and the problem is there too.
 * Thanks for any help with this – we do like the plugin!

 * There are multiple polls on these pages on our site
    - [https://peoples-pop.com/active-polls/](https://peoples-pop.com/active-polls/)
    - [https://peoples-pop.com/](https://peoples-pop.com/)
 * Type of poll is “choosing” as you can see.
 * PHP 8.1.17
 * I believe the issue appears regardless of logged in or not. The polls don’t require
   users to be logged in . (Yet!)
 * I will try to get screenshots from my phone and post later (doing it on desktop
   safari “emulating” iPhone doesn’t work.)
 * You can see the issue on latest iOS safari simply by scrolling down the page,
   or sometimes by scrolling back up. the browser will stop painting the page, even
   areas previously painted when you scroll back up
 * (Edit update: Image uploading is blocked here??)

 * Your theme has a default widget will only appear if no other widgets appear. 
   So add a new widget, just a plain text one, and leave it empty

 * Thanks for the heads up on this, but I don’t know. The fix is really specific
   because that theme seems to do something radical with sidebar_admin_setup and
   sidebar_admin_page actions and the sidebars_widgets filter.
 * Plus that theme is paid for, and i’m just doing this for kicks, really. (And 
   the hope of the odd charity donation)
 * If they’re prepared to share the code with me, I might find a more targeted way–
   such as a few lines of functions.php that can be used with their theme when it
   detects widget logic, rather than my plugin detecting this theme
 * Sorry, that’s a roundabout way of saying no. I do usually try if there is a new
   challenge and there’s no barrier to trying.

 * It’s not possible to do “responsive” layout widget logic, because logic is executed
   server-side, so it can’t respond to client-side layout/screen-size changes dynamically.
 * You could do the above by putting “is_front_page()” in your widget logic (to 
   put the widget in your front_page) then in your CSS you can hide it when the 
   width is 479px or less. Which would look something like…
 *     ```
       @media screen and (max-width: 479px)
       {
           #sidebar #get-recent-comments-or-whatever {display:none}
       }
       ```

 * It might be that is_user_logged_in() can only be invoked late in the wordpress
   page loading process.
 * see if the errors go when you change the “Load logic” setting under the options
   to one of the ‘late load’ options instead of the default

 * a way to debug is to use the “Export options”, so save your setup, and then do
   something like blank each widget logic in turn until the error goes. That should
   direct your attention to which widget was the source of the problem
 * You can then re-import the original options and correct the problem you found.

 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content)
 * passing that through str_word_count()
 * [http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-word-count.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-word-count.php)
 * so `str_word_count(the_content())>1000`. May have missed something there.
