 * Another generic response that doesn’t actually answer the question at all.
 * “You must allow us to change your billing information, and delete your entire
   account, but we promise we won’t” is a massive security hole, worse than most
   which result in plugins being banned from wordpress.org.
 * If you must do this, please create an article in your documentation which explains
   this – nowhere on the page you linked to mentions the fact people who simply 
   click accept are giving full control over billing to your company.

 * My client has experienced exactly the same thing – I had to deactivate the ‘Display
   relevant page stats in the Admin bar’ checkbox in order to prevent styles from
   breaking in posts while they were logged in (e.g. all image galleries broken).
 * Given this one has been marked as resolved without a solution, should I open 
   a second thread?

 * I can’t do that as the plugin has been deleted 🙂
 * As mentioned, the problem is not that there may be a workaround to solve it, 
   but that any properly written plugin should NEVER result in this behavior – it
   should have error checking to prevent this.

 * This isn’t just breaking the classic editor, but also the buttons when replying
   to comments in the admin.
 * I see a fix is meant to be released sometime soon, but I think I’ll be downgrading
   as it doesn’t look like the plugin has been well tested at all – very concerning
   when major issues are introduced by new ownership.

 * Actually, nevermind. Something is disabling the standard Screen Options tab on
   this and many other sites; I need to narrow down which plugin is doing that.

 * There is no extra tracking snippet. You can replicate this on a default WP installation–
   add Analytics and fill both the manual tracking fields.
 * Debugging the results in Analytics will show two page views events going to the
   GA4 code.

   already, looks like this one needed a bit more testing!

 * So I’ve read the information + watched the video about what that option provides.
 * Both specifically *recommend* having this option off, because it may cause issues
   with themes / plugins, but don’t give examples.
 * In cases like this, *not* enabling this option causes issues with one of the 
   most popular plugins available in WordPress (3+ million installs). You give another
   example in your documentation about it breaking iThemes Security if left off.
 * Perhaps you could give some examples of what problems may occur when it is *on*,
   given these seem less likely / important? I understand having it off by default
   but it seems the recommendation should be to turn it on wherever possible (to
   be compatible with other plugins like this), as oppose to keeping it off wherever
   possible.
