@dwrippe As nothing in the changes from one version to another would suddenly change the url, nor do we use jQuery to cause that to load, I have to assume the change caused one of your other plugins to render content differently.

Also of note, that version of jQuery is not supported, not included with WP core either, so something on your site is causing that to load outside of our plugin, such as the theme for example.

Hopefully Kim was still able to help you track it down, just closing this here in the mean time.

@mrfent37 Sorry your having trouble. That said we have reviewed everything, both on your initial report and latest update. To be clear, we didn’t ignore it, BUT as you may have determined, it is clearly unrelated to our official code at all. No version has ever commented that out, going back many versions, & no other user has reported such an issue. That would brick every site using that version, and given there are several 100k sites using it already the forums would be slammed.

What this likely indicates is you are currently using non-legit sources/copies of our plugin or extensions, likely from a 3rd party “GPL” site that is serving you modified copies of the plugin.

As such this your installations would not be supported by us, but rather the company you got them from.

To be clear, that code would never be commented out as it shows licensing alerts, but a GPL pirated copy would remove those for sure.

This is further evidenced by the fact that when you go to update the plugin, it shows a generic icon, not our plugins icon.

If your not using modified copies of our plugins (NULLED or cloned versions), then another plugin on your site is interfering and serving you updates from a non-verified sources.

If you are using NULLED plugins, just know they can put in whatever they like, including backdoors to your site. This is clearly verifiable given you are getting modified stuff already.

Also just know we do not provide support for them in any capacity.

Google AI says:

“Nulled” refers to software that has been cracked or pirated, meaning the licensing restrictions have been removed. While there’s no official “Popup Maker nulled” version, finding and using such a file is illegal and comes with risks. It can expose you to security threats and legal consequences. The official version of Popup Maker is available on ww.wp.xz.cn and offers a free plan, as well as paid options for advanced features. 

Here’s why using a nulled version is problematic: 

• Security Risks:Nulled software often contains malware or other malicious code that can harm your website and user data.
• Legal Issues:Using pirated software violates copyright laws and can lead to legal penalties.
• Lack of Support and Updates:You won’t receive official support, updates, or bug fixes, leaving your website vulnerable.
• Potential for Website Failure:Malfunctioning or corrupted code in a nulled plugin can destabilize your website.

Even some GPL sites admit they modify and what they serve is unsafe

However, using nulled plugins comes with risks such as security vulnerabilities, lack of updates, and no official support.

Feel free to follow up , but I’m closing this because its clearly not an install we would support typically.

@vadimm5 – Looked at the site just now, honestly this isn’t an issue we can solve on our end. If you want the overlay functionality it comes with disabling the scrollbar, or duplicate scroll bars as you saw.

The sidebar isn’t part of our plugin, and what it does when the scrollbar is removed is out of our control.

So you could either change your popup to disable the overlay, or see if the author of the theme/plugin that created that sidebar can help resolve it repositioning when the scrollbar gets hidden.

Hope that helps.

@bearstar thanks, got that on my radar now.

@peter8nss – Found it, thanks for the continued reports and patience: https://github.com/code-atlantic/content-control/blob/fd5e94b2e5f0e658554d9714abd152a6df834b38/inc/functions/rule-callbacks.php#L863

Try changing

• this: && $post_type_object->publicly_queryable;
• to this && ! $post_type_object->exclude_from_search;

Seems to resolve it for me.

@bearstar – Pushing an update shortly that should reduce heavily the memory usage in these particular functions. No idea if it resolves yours specifically but was a safe & performant change just he same.

@emmaevolving – I have this working in our Pro version for posts, need to polish it to work for all content types.

Can have this pushed in an update farily quickly thanks for the idea.

Here is what I worked out
