analyst misbehaving

  • I was having a flash of hidden content when my backend page loaded.
    I discovered it was from the Analyst component (sellcode.com) of this plugin.
    I have nothing against you/them collecting money/data, but that component is really not behaving.
    For example, this

    <div id="analyst-opt-out-modal" class="analyst-modal" style="display: none">
	<div class="analyst-modal-content" style="width: 600px">...</div>
</div>

    is present ON EVERY SINGLE BACKEND PAGE LOAD.
    I mean: why compose a message and then hide it!?

    Look, seriously:
    in the source of my dashboard the word “analyst” is present 151 times and analyst is responsible for a total of 357 non-blank lines (or 15Kb !!!) of html/js code.
    Is it sensible? Is it a punishment for not optin-in?

    I know it’s not your fault, but I strongly advocate that you put pressure on them to fix all that mess (and we’re not even seeing the php part!)
    To me the only sensible implementation would be that the “optin” button was a plain dead href anchor with no js or preloaded content.

    BTW while I was investigating this I found that also “Freemius” component has similar issues (now I’m going to quantify them).

    Thank you
    Let me know if you need more data

  • This loads on top of the Gutenberg editor.

    Subscribe forms would be fine if they were limited to the plugin’s settings page, but this nag appears in the editor.

    Furthermore, this nag does not identify which plugin it is for. It says only:

    Stay on the safe side

    Receive our plugin’s alerts in case of critical security & feature updates and allow non-sensitive diagnostic tracking.

    If this plugin is going to keep this annoying, intrusive nag around, at least have the popup identify which plugin is responsible for the nag.

    Thank you for reporting this, but we were not able to replicate this issue.
    Could you please confirm that you’re using the latest version of the plugin?

    How can that be? Install a blank wordpress, install and activate “Enhanced Text Widget”, press skip to the nag window, view source code of any backend page.

    >Could you please confirm that you’re using the latest version of the plugin?
    here says version 1.5 and since I have auto updates on I presume it’s the latest version.

    I have a page dump, where can I send it?

    Thank you

    Done!

    How did you solve this? This popup is stressing me out.

    Gee Danstano, I can’t remember what site I was working on that had to use this plugin.
    Sorry, I’ll write back if I recall what I did.
