    Thank you very much, Takao. That’s fixed it. It’s looking just right now 🙂

    Okay, well, if you’re able to advise, I’d appreciate it.

    Cheers,

    Okay, well, I’ve cleared the browser cache multiple times on various browsers and it’s still not working here. Are you sure it’s not your server cache that needs clearing? (If I change any of the other social follow links, meanwhile, the changes are immediate, so long as I clear my WordPress cache.)

    Meanwhile, when I ‘Inspect Element’ for the RSS icon on my home page, it shows that the icon is linked to my home page, which, although that’s what it’s bringing up, I’ve never linked it to. However, when I ‘View Page Source’, it appears that my Feedlitz RSS feed is linked to the RSS icon. I simply don’t know enough about coding and all to fully understand the problem myself. But I do know for sure, nothing has changed yet this end.

    Why did you say I’d have to wait a couple of days to see the change unless I cleared my browser chache?

    Cause, although my knowledge is rather limited, it seems likely to me that, given I’ve cleared my cache numerous times on various browsers and it’s still the same, it’s not changed because either your server cache is still serving the old script or the new one is still not working. What say you?

    Ah, I see, the scripts and images are hosted off-site. I don’t have the local cache option enabled but do have a cache plugin. I have tried deactivating it to see if the RSS link works then but it doesn’t.

    Hello Micropat,

    My thanks for getting back. However, having cleared my browser cache, it’s still not working. And, this left me wondering: how can a fix have been deployed without first updating the plugin, as the other follow icons take me straight to the linked page and appear not to go via the AddToAny URL?

    With thanks,

    Stuart

    So, in other words and reading between the lines, so to speak, you don’t really know the answer to my questions then?

    I feel like you’re avoiding my questions and what I’m saying here.

    First, you say copy the index.php and htaccess files to root after setting up the website and configuring the plugin settings. And then you say perhaps you gave me the wrong information.

    Perhaps?

    It sounds like you don’t really know, one way or the other, which, I guess, would be okay if you’re not the plugin’s author or developer and were honest about not knowing.

    What’s more, could you not recall having set up WordPress with this plugin in a subdirectory, but served from root, when I first asked and before you checked your client’s website? If you’ve done this set up before, and for a client, then as a plugin contributer, and service provider, shouldn’t you know the answers to my questions and whether or not this set up is likely to interfere with any of its functionality? It really is a question about whether or not this plugin’s security functions will all work properly for this setup, which has security implications for your client’s website too!

    What’s more, and should be needless to say, I’m aware that the issue about hotlinking only applies to one part of the plugin’s configeration. However, also I asked if it applied to others. Meanwhile, it says in the previous threads I cited that the developers would look into this as far back as up to, or at least, a year ago. Meanwhile, you’re still saying the same a year a later.

    Whilst as far as I can tell, this is a great plugin, these responses, I’m sad to say, sound pretty fishy to me.

    Do you mean complete the AIOWPS settings, and configure the website, and then copy the .htaccess and index.php files to root, rather than copying them over before the .htaccess has been modified? If that’s so, would you please explain why you suggest doing that rather than copying the files before completing the settings?

    (Personally, I don’t see why it should be necessary to copy the .htaccess to root (just the index.php.) for this set up. But frankly, I just don’t know enough about it and am struggling to understand the role the .htaccess plays in the root in this set up when there is a .htaccess file in the subdirectory and one in each of any other directories in root. In such a set up, I’d have thought the .htaccess in root would override all those in the subdirectories if the root’s one has the more restrictive settings.)

    And, if that’s the case, it also begs one of the other questions I asked:’should the content of the two .htaccess files remain the same thereafter?’ For example, if, after copying the index.php and .htaccess files to root, I go on to modify the plugin’s settings again and it deletes some of the .htaccess rules, will this plugin update both .htaccess files so they’re the same?

    Also, would you clarify whether or not, or to what extent, this subdirectory install set up is likely to interfere with the plugin’s functionality. Yes, I guess I can eventually figure it out by testing it all for myself, but, being rather short of time and having seen this issue raised before and the promises to investigate it further (in the links above), I’d hoped you might have some findings to share. Two of the support posts refer to what appears to be an issue with the hotlinking. Is this, indeed, an issue? And, are you aware of any others?
