Hi Ari,
That’s great to know, and thank you for the very prompt answer. I figured you were ahead on this. Go figure on the report. Your explanation makes perfect sense, too bad the reporter didn’t look closely enough to see it. I won’t worry about the alert then, as it’s basically a false positive.
Keep up the good work.

In reply to: [Redirection] Export JSON (and others) fail security checkHmm, that’s annoying but good to know I guess. FWIW the page with the security failure message has the address
https://[my site]/wp-admin/tools.php?page=redirection.php&sub=io&export=all&exporter=json&_wpnonce=[some characters]
I will see what WP has to say about it but in the meantime, if I use the ‘View’ button to display the contents (that works as expected), and copy/paste it into a textfile and change the extension from TXT to JSON, that would be equivalent to downloading the JSON file, wouldn’t it?

In reply to: [Broken Link Notifier] AwesomeI’ll paste my comment into a new post, no problem (didn’t realise it mattered, glad to help).

In reply to: [Broken Link Notifier] AwesomeFound this plugin after being serially unhappy with some others in the past, including one with a paid subscription. Yours is great, easy to figure out and does just what I want, when I want it to. And free! Thank you so much for your work and time. Do you have a donation page somewhere? I didn’t see one here or on GitHub.

In reply to: [Tooltip CK] Update prompt keeps reappearingFurther update – for whatever reason, over the last couple of days the problem has not recurred, 2.2.14 realizes it’s current and doesn’t want to update anymore. I hope I don’t jinx it by saying this. π
I don’t know what changed, if anything. I’ll see what happens whenever your next version comes up.
Thanks again for what remains my favorite plugin, which gives me a feature I’d wanted since I first started my WP site.

In reply to: [Tooltip CK] Update prompt keeps reappearingHi CEd,
I should have mentioned that I did that before writing here, but anyway I did it again – logged out of my WP acct, cleared entire browser cache (I use Firefox), and cleared cookies for wordpress.com (site host) and my site domain. No help, the update reminder comes back every time I reload the admin page, even immediately after doing the update and having it confirm that the update is done. Uploading the plugin files manually to the server made no difference either.
I don’t do my work in Chrome but I tried the same thing there also to experiment, and the results are identical.
It’s a low-priority annoyance rather than the tooltips not functioning properly, but this is the only plugin I use that misbehaves like this, and it would be nice to figure it out.
Hi Natalia,
I added the snippet to my child theme’s functions.php file (I included one additional source on a third line, pbs.twimg.com), no problem there, thank you for letting me know where it needed to go. It seemed to help for the like buttons but I noticed that there was also an issue affecting the graphic elements in the sidebar widget displaying my Twitter feed, thus the third line added. Any lazy loading at all makes the widget graphics not display until a second page-load, even after also adding the iframe_exclude_pattern filter to functions.php along with the exclude_src filter.
I presume this is an issue with the widget plugin so I may write to them and see what’s up there, but I’m going to have to take a harder look at the pros and cons of lazy loading in general. It just does things to my UX that I don’t prefer.
I still may also look at WP Rocket, so that’s another option to consider. Thank you folks for all your help on this – I always learn something even if I don’t manage to do what I was trying to do.
Hi again. Re the placeholders/autoplay, I get why it matters for mobile data usage, it just messes up the way people are accustomed to interacting with videos. I’d have to add a caption saying “if you’re on mobile, click twice to run the video” and that is a big UI and UX negative for me. I’ll have to think more about this.
As for the Like buttons, I have them disabled at the moment so there’s nothing to see, but I looked at the information in the link you provided on Disabling LazyLoad by image source. I think that would be what I wantedβ in my case the Like buttons come from widgets.wp.com and the gravatars come from gravatar.com.
I downloaded the file wp-rocket-lazyload-disable-src.php and if I have this correct (again, I am only a pretend coder!), I would want to edit in these lines:
$excluded_src[] = 'widgets.wp.com'; // <img src="widgets.wp.com"> $excluded_src[] = 'gravatar.com'; // <img src="gravatar.com">But if this is correct, do I upload that entire file (with the edits) to the rocket-lazy-load plugin folder, which already contains main.php and rocket-lazy-load.php, or do I have to put the contents of the edited file *into* one of the existing php files, or in some other location? I am not clear about where to put the edited code to make it work. If you could let me know if this is the right approach, and where to put the code, I might be able to turn my Likes back on again. π€
Thanks so much for your help. I’ve been very pleased with the support I get with Imagify, and it’s nice to see that you follow up here as well.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Does WP count link checker ‘visits’ in site stats?Hi again,
I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear – it’s not a plug-in, it’s the basic default display of traffic “Stats and Insights” that WP provides in the My Site area of tools and all that comes along with my account plan. It’s nothing external that I can point you to.
I’ll see what I can find out from the WP folks, although I’m in the middle of some work with a deadline at the moment, this isn’t top-of-the-urgent-pile. Maybe the most efficient answer would be to install one of the stats plug-ins you mention and ignore the WP info, although I try not to get carried away with the number of plug-ins I use.
If you want to mark this thread resolved I won’t mind, you may not want to leave it hanging until I can respond further. If I learn anything from WP when I have more time to go into it with them, I can start a new thread.
Thanks for your time & effort. Again, the plug-in is incredibly useful, even if it’s inflating my hit count. π

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Does WP count link checker ‘visits’ in site stats?Hi Prathamesh,
I don’t think I can see the referrers. WP.com hosts my site, and while I have FTP access into my server space and Google Analytics doing its thing for me, I don’t know of any way to tell exactly who/where those visits are coming from (which is why I asked the question in the first place, because I couldn’t tell). Unless there’s something I’m unaware of, which is of course possible, I’m not an actual IT person. π The ‘stats plugin’ I’m using is just the Stats & Insights page in my WP admin area, which doesn’t offer much by way of detail. Sorry I’m not more helpful. If there’s somewhere you could point me to directly to look at, I’ll be glad to do that.
Ah, this one is my own fault. I confess that I am not as fluent in CSS as I should be, or I’d have figured the background-colour highlighting for myself, since I was already editing the text colour in that class. Mea culpa. I learn things as I go along, usually. Already made the change, looks great.
Seconding the idea to make highlighted search terms display on the linked page. Some pages with high relevancy don’t have the queried word/s in the excerpt. Highlighting on the linked page would at least make them easier to see once you got there.
Also wish-list – highlighting by changing the background colour behind the text (like a highlight marker) rather than changing the colour of the text. Inputting a hex value in the settings for the desired contrasting background in both the search results and on the linked page would put a lot of visual emphasis on what the reader was looking for. And/or bolding the queried words would be a help (user option perhaps), especially if the background-colour change idea isn’t feasible.
Cheers β
