In reply to: [hCaptcha for WP] Version 2.0.0 update lays out wrong on comment formI tried that (having seen it in another thread here) and there was no change. This is not CF7, but the standard wordpress core contact form. I am using this theme https://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/consulting/

Thanks
Tbh btw, I would recommend not to package deploy/deploy.sh with the release at all.
Yeah, so now that I applied the update, I see that it is not accidental. There is a popup inviting me to opt in to freemius notifications and telemetry.
Don’t do this to your users. It’s not right. We are not a product. I don’t want code that does this running on my site, opt in or not. It’s not a service I agreed to and it’s a potential security hazard.
You want to have a pro version, great. Don’t put income streams in the free version, otherwise its not free, it’s a bait and switch.
Folks, here’s how to clear the error state yourself. Stick this line in your theme’s functions.php, load any page on your site, then you can remove the line.
delete_option('wp_mail_smtp_debug');It’s ridiculous that this isn’t a standard control in the admin for the plugin.
In a way that would be more hazardous than a one-time manual dismissal control, because it would carry the risk of being accidentally carried to prod and permanently squelching the notices where they matter.
I need a method that clears the state, not just silences the notice. It can be a filter or global, that’s fine, but such that it can be toggled, state cleared, and removed. The request here is to reset the error state, the notice is just the outward symptom.
I can study your code and figure out how to do it myself, of course, but it would be better if you provided it.
One more thing. The plugin has over 1 million installations. It ends up on a great many internal staging servers and virtual machines. It’s far from an unusual or edge case.
I get these in test/staging environments where email transport does not work and is never going to, if I accidentally do something that generates an email. You guys should include a straightforward control to clear the error state so the warning doesn’t appear all over the dashboard in situations like this.
Never mind, I resolved this on my own by enqueuing styles the new way instead of the old @import way, and tweaking the params to wp_enqueue_style() to get the versions pulled from the parent and child just right.
Many. Plugins that add share buttons are easy to find in the plugin directory, or in use in the field just when you’re browsing the web. I played around with two but they had quite a heavy footprint. One’s domains were in my browsing privacy blacklist. Another put buttons on every page on my site including homepage and static pages with no way to disable them. I am running without share buttons for now and probably stay that way.

In reply to: [Two Factor Authentication] stopped working suddenlyThat one isn’t present in my environment but it’s a prod site with some 30 or so plugins so I’m not really at liberty to test. Besides the condition self cleared and I would like nothing more than to not reproduce it.

In reply to: [Two Factor Authentication] stopped working suddenlyI had this suddenly happen too on a site I was going in to do routine updates. Exactly as described, an OTP failure message when submitting login and pw, before ever seeing the 2FA screen.
Disabled 2FA by adding
define('TWO_FACTOR_DISABLE', true);to wp-config.php. Logged in and did my updates, which were updating a theme and five plugins. When done, reenabled 2FA by removingdefine('TWO_FACTOR_DISABLE', true);from wp-config.php. Upon trying it, 2FA login worked fine again. Not sure whether what jogged it was the process of disabling and reenabling, or one of the updates. In any case, it is working again.Forum: Themes and Templates
