API timed out to https://easy-modal.com slowed site to a crawl

  • My client’s site slowed to a crawl today because https://easy-modal.com is unresponsive yet the API request allows for 15 seconds for the site to resolve.

    For anyone with this issue here is a simple patch until they fix https://easy-modal.com.

    Goto file: /wp-content/plugins/easy-modal/classes/license.php
    on line 33 edit:
    $response = wp_remote_get( add_query_arg( $api_params, EMCORE_API_URL ), array( 'timeout' => 15, 'sslverify' => false ) );

    to
    $response = wp_remote_get( add_query_arg( $api_params, EMCORE_API_URL ), array( 'timeout' => 1, 'sslverify' => false ) );

    Hope that helps!

    @contemplate – First sorry to hear that, and for the delay. I was helping to organize last weekends WordCamp Jacksonville.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will see about getting a patch in place as our licensing API is no longer active anyways. We have officially migrated everyone left to Popup Maker. In the near future we may look at deprecating this plugin entirely and migrating current users via an update. It does everything and 10x more than Easy Modal.

    Thread Starter contemplate

    Yes an upgrade/migration to Popup Maker would be great as I have clients with both the Free and Commercial version of this plugin who heavily rely on it and we would not want to have to recreate everything.

    Thanks

    @contemplate – There is already a built in migration path, or there was, but we will need to update it now that our data is formatted in a different way than when we first created Popup Maker.

    I will say that we have no active licenses for Easy Modal and ported all active licenses to Popup Maker a year ago when we made the change. That said commercial products would not be converted to popup maker products without a renewal / repurchase, but that would be the same if we still had Easy Modal active and a license had expired.
