Mark, thanks for your reply.

I’ve changed this to ‘not a support question’ because ‘resolved’ seems a bit too enthusiastic!

How about the visitors IP addresses, you don’t mention it but do you send those to your servers? That’s what actually triggered my reaction and I think that would be the worst privacy violation.

Other than that, what you say sounds good but seems to contradict your company privacy policy… So, are you going to update the privacy statement on your website to reflect your statements here?

Quote from your website (emphasis mine):

The Company monitors statistics such as how many people visit your website, the visitor’s IP address, pages visited, entry and exit points, from which domains visitors come and browser types. This data is used to provide the Services. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties …

The statement above is ambiguous at best and can clearly be interpreted such that you consider visitor IP addresses as ‘non-personally-identifiable information’ and that you are free to share that information as you please.

Until your official statement is changed to an unambiguous one with sound privacy rules I wouldn’t even think of using Wordfence.

Inspecting the source – are you serious? So I would have to audit your source (and keep track of all changes) just to keep you in check, while you should have a decent privacy policy in the first place? That’s just ridiculous. The right thing to do is to improve your privacy policy.

No, it’s a rather minimalistic site anyway with just a basic set of plugins, it’s not worth it to dump any of this basic functionality as there are other cache options which work fine. The other (heavier) cache plugins seemed over the top for this site, so a lightweight cache plugin like yours would have been nice, too bad it doesn’t work out that way.

I really appreciate your free plugin and effort but it clearly isn’t working in my case. Good luck and maybe I’ll check it out again later!

No, of course not, why would I do that? Haven’t seen that anywhere in the docs and it’s an utf-8 system and WP install anyway, without any problems in that regard.

Also, why does there appear to be an update on the WP plugin page right now – but with the same version number as I installed yesterday (1.0.8)?

Well that works beautifully!

Just in case anyone as inexperienced as me wishes to do this, here is the complete child theme functions.php:

<?php

function maryanne_child_enqueue_styles() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'maryanne-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'maryanne_child_enqueue_styles' );

function maryanne_child_setup() {
	global $content_width;
	$content_width = 870;
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'maryanne_child_setup' );

?>

Marking this as solved. Tomas, I really appreciate the way you’ve helped a newbie like me out!

Tomas, that’s great, will try it ASAP and report back here!

Hi Tomas, thank you for such a quick response!

I’m currently testing things here on a local system (LAMP, Ubuntu 14.04, Apache2 with minimal changes). It’s behind several layers of routing, it’ll be much easier show you when it moves to hosting.

It seems pegged solidly at the max 590px width though, and this is exactly what others are saying about the core video player, it limits itself strictly to the $content_width value. I’m no PHP programmer by any means but I just searched through your sources and can’t find any other assignment to content_width, so I suppose its value is 590 allright?

Thanks for the plugin tip, it doesn’t seem to support the current WP versions though.

Can this variable be changed by means of some hook, child theme or whatever? I’m a WP newbie but not afraid to add some code. Will edit your sources if necessary but that is obviously not a good approach.

Thank you!
