In reply to: [Webmention] Mastodon “Likes” in WP New Comment NotificationsI finally got another example to share Matthias. When I get a “like” from someone in the fediverse, I’ll get a “please moderate / new comment” email notification. When I click through to approve it, there is no comment of course. I’m not seeing an error message now, it’s just a misleading notification email in which the “Comment:” text is always “… liked this!” And then the approve/trash/spam links follow.
Here’s a recent example from wpyeg.org, which is our meetup site hosted on wp.com.

In reply to: [Webmention] Mastodon “Likes” in WP New Comment NotificationsSorry, I’ve been busy and will have to repeat the steps to generate this result and investiagate the cause. That might take some time. Based on recent development activity, I think the issue may have been fixed.

In reply to: [Twenty Twenty-Four] Column creation issueHey, did my tips in Dev Edmonton Slack help? 🙂
@markussss, I have been looking over plugins like this to see how they might defend against stolen cookies, but I do not think they are likely to help except for the hard limits set on session cookies. Here’s why:
- Inactivity is difficult to assess, and doing it with client-side code makes it vulnerable to manipulation by any compromised device whose sessions are being stolen.
- Concurrency is difficult to assess because IP addresses can’t be reliably identified, and a stolen session can be used in combination with IP spoofing. Blocking concurrent sessions is a way to prevent password sharing, not session theft, and this is better done with 2FA. There are also lots of technical problems that can result from trying to lock a session to an IP. See https://www.akamai.com/blog/developers/why-you-shouldn-t-tie-ip-addresses-to-tokens, https://adam-p.ca/blog/2022/03/x-forwarded-for/, and https://snicco.io/blog/how-to-safely-get-the-ip-address-in-a-wordpress-plugin H/t: @snicco

In reply to: [Genesis Blocks] Fatal Error on New Post Creation, PHP 8.xIt looks like this error emerges only in relation to the Newsletter Block whenever the editor is opened even if this block is never used in content as long as a Mailchimp API key has been entered in the settings. Removing the key and not using the newsletter block will not surface this error.
WordPress version 6.1
Active theme: Authority Pro (version 1.3.0)
Current plugin: Genesis Blocks (version 1.5.3)

In reply to: [Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks – CoBlocks] Coblocks.com feature slidesSo it seems! At first I thought it looked like Bootstrap CSS and jQuery; I think it’s just a custom show/hide script.
That makes a lot of sense — great ideas!
Using widgets this way is ingenious — I’m surprised it wasn’t adopted earlier and more widely.
To be clear, this problem was caused by a recent Chrome update as the new Adblock feature and settings block Hubspot inside WP by default. Changing these settings resolves this problem.
I thought I had removed AdBlock in Chrome, but I hadn’t disabled all of it. The interface is confusing, so this is where you go in Chrome for anyone else who stumbled over this:
chrome://settings/content/ads
You want to set it to “ALLOWED.”

In reply to: [Cachify] Archive pages with infinite scrollI haven’t been able to replicate a problem someone else reported. Maybe they just got some slow AJAX. Cachify seems to be working fine, but to be safe I added a filter to exclude archives.
Currently it seems to be showing only related events (not posts or other content types) in the calendar, which is not such a problem, but it would be nice to be able to selectively disable that.
Yes, this is still happening — related posts are injected below the_content in other post types like events from The Event Calendar plugin.
Nope, but it may have had to do with the way the managed hosting environment works. The latest update to WC fixed the problem, whatever it was.
Same here — no emails going out from Flywheel, which uses Mandrill for this.
Is this filter still recommended as a temporary solution?

In reply to: [Byline] How do I display a name with commas in the suffix?How are you storing suffixes now? I would just add them to the the full byline name. Normally in WordPress without any modification, you’d need to add suffixes to the last name or display name.
This plugin is not actively supported so I would suggest looking at the new (unrelated) Bylines plugin that is Daniel Bachhuber’s successor to CoAuthors Plus. If you’re doing anything serious with a multi author site you want to maintain for a long time, this is probably the best way to go.
