Adds a link to the plugin author in the frontend

But the cookie bar also comes with a pretty prominently placed link to the plugin author. To make it even worst the link comes with target="_blank" and rel="follow" and I can’t find an option to disable it.

That will leave a mark as that’s explicitly forbidden in the plugin guidelines. See this item number 10.

*Installs plugin on test installation and looks*

It’s this line.

https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/adsimple-cookie-notice/trunk/adsimple-cookie-notice.php#L1021

That’s just thick. Deleting that line messes with the formatting so change line 1021 to this.

$output .= '</div><span class="powered-link"></span></div>';

And that will do it. I’ve not looked at the plugin too closely but 1100+ lines in a plugin that does that banner is a bit much. I suggest you delete that plugin just to be safe.

I’m reporting this to the plugins team.

Yep, I know the plugin guidelines pretty good actually ??

I’m super picky with plugins, so this one never touched a live install of mine. I tested it in a local environment and it’s long gone.

Reporting this is on my todo-list for tomorrow as well, but if you want to do it: go for it.

Thanks Jan ??

Our mistake – we will implement the option to include this link if the user wants to be nice and the default will be off.

We have committed a version without link – will this plugin be reinstated?

That’s what I thought, @jdembowski and @krafit – fast with putting down plugins and slow when it comes to giving second chances and revoking 1-star review.
We are competitors after all I guess.

You are certainly no competitor of mine. And do not @ people to get their attention. That’s considered abusive here.

If the reviewer wishes to update their review they will do so.

@adsimple, Don’t ping people like that. If they wanted a notification they would have subscribed to the thread. I’ve archived your reply. If you don’t use the reviews here at www.ads-software.com as part of your business model then your business won’t get hurt by them.
