I am still receiving the very, very lengthy GDPR-cookie-compliance release update emails, despite having no/zero/nada subscriptions listed in my profile at: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/users/phonyroyal/subscriptions/

Today “[WordPress Plugin][3548570] gdpr-cookie-compliance: Version 5.0.13 released” was received and I cannot figure out why.

How do I stop these? Where else can I check for subscriptions?

Thanks

Thanks, but there’s no language line in wp-config.phpd despite the comment at the top that says:

This file contains the following configurations: Localized language

Shouldn’t the EN-ZA database entries rather be deleted than renamed? Aren’t these orphaned entries?

Is there any manual process to fully delete a language? I’m sure there used to be a Delete option in the General drop-down language list some years back.

Thanks Peter. That is both bizarre and fascinating that a random string can make its way into a translation from English (US or International?) to English (South Africa). For what it’s worth, the English spoken and written in South Africa is identical to English (UK), with few deviations and variations therefrom. South African English has colourful colloquialisms and local slang, but spelling follows UK English for words like aluminium, colour, optimisation (anything ending in “…sation” not “…zation”). “Z” is pronounced “Zed” not “Zee”. The front of a car has a “bonnet” not a “hood” and the rear has a “boot” not a “trunk”, people travel vertically in a “lift” not an “elevator”. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, all untranslated English terms can safely follow that of English that originated in and is spoken in England (get it Americans? English / England…)

Thanks, but that doesn’t help as I was looking for a way to get the blocked usernames into a text list or spreadsheet. Copying and pasting lust create a very long string of the usernames concatenated with an “x” between them, which couldn’t reliably be used to separate them.

Thanks Peter. That was enough to point me in the right diagnostic direction, and I have identified the cause as the “Check & Log Email” Plugin.

Someone else reported it on the plugin support page and the forum thread was closed, but the issue remains: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/causes-html-emails-to-be-sent-as-plain-text/

It is easy to reproduce by installing the “Check & Log Email” Plugin, then on the plugin’s General tab select “Check this box if you would like override wordpress default from email and name” and send a Test Activity Report from WordFence.

It has been reported here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/html-emails-sent-as-plain-text-2/

The solution was simply to change the layout of the maintenance template to “Elementor Canvas”. The background logos and text are no longer displayed.

Thanks Peter. I changed the theme to Twenty Twenty-Three and disabled every single plugin except Wordfence.

But still when “Show Advanced Filters” is checked on the WordFence Live Traffic screen, the “ADD: FILTER HOOK FOR ENABLE WP-SIGNUP (@SUMOBI)” buttons is displayed.

The button creates another filter row above it when clicked, after all the above changes.

How does this button get into the WordFence Live Traffic page?? WordFence Scan doesn’t show anything out of the ordinary (mystery files).

Is there anything that I can send that may help figure this out?

Thanks

None of those Peter. Thanks for looking at this.

The following plugins are installed:

• Check & Log Emil by WPChill (I disabled this and refreshed but “ADD: FILTER HOOK FOR ENABLE WP-SIGNUP (@SUMOBI)” still shows)
• Cloudflare
• Duplicator
• Elementor (& Pro)
• Really Simple SSL
• Sydney Toolbox by aThemes (and Sydney theme)
• Wordfence
