Password strength indicator disappeared!

Hi,

Go to Profile Builder -> General Settings -> Minimum Password Strength. If it is set to Disabled it will not show a strength indicator. Set it up and then save changes.

Let me know if this fixed your issue.

Best regards,

I checked Minimum Password Strength. It’s already set to ‘Strong’, and Minimum Password Length is set to ‘8’. Still there is no “password strength indicator” showing!

Hi,

I looked into your registration form and the password strength indicator is there but hidden. Some plugin/theme changed its .css to display none.

To fix it download this file autoptimize_02e3d8fb2c44809ae2d63af554a1d0c8.css from https://www.tsalawchamber.org/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/css/autoptimize_02e3d8fb2c44809ae2d63af554a1d0c8.css and delete from #pass-strength-result {} this line display: none;. Save it and then re-upload it. This should fix your issue.

If this is done by a caching plugin there is a chance it will happen again.

Best regards,

hi there guys;
I’m autoptimize’s developer and yes, it is a caching plugin so changing the AO-file would not work (for long).

Teodor; the CSS-selector you’re referring to orginates from wp-content/plugins/profile-builder/assets/css/style-front-end.css which has the display:none. Where/ how does your plugin set this to display:visible? Once we know that, we can configure AO to make sure that works.

kind regards (and have a blast waving out 2015),

I am using the cache plugin: Zen Cache. What if this is causing the problem?

Hi Teodor,

I followed your advice, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I downloaded the ‘autoptimize….css’ file, deleted the ‘display: none;’ from #pass-strength-result {}, and then uploaded the edited file back to its original place in the server. But very strangely, once the edited version of the file is uploaded replacing the one existing there, the ‘display: none;’ line comes back to the edited file again automatically. After uploading the edited file, when I check it with my browser online, I see the ‘display: none;’ is back there! I repeated this ‘download-edit-upload’ several times in various ways – but everytime the result is same – just can’t get rid of the ‘display: none;’! It keeps coming back like a ghost out of thin air everytime! I can’t understand what’s happening here. Please advise.

Kind regards.

Hello Frank,

The password strength indicator is displayed by a script from wp_footer –

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wppb_password_strength_check', 102 );)

jQuery('#pass-strength-result').show().

For some reason the script is not working in the autoptimize.js file.

Best regards,

weird, don’t see any JS error on the console, do you?

anyways; in that case adding jquery.js, pass-strength-result to the JS optimization exclusion list might do the trick.

Hello Frank,

There was no JS error in the console and this is strange. I think your solution should fix this issue but Monovabona has to test it out.

Please let me know the results.

Best regards,

Hi Frank,

1. Adding pass-strength-result and jquery.js to the ‘Exclude scripts from Autoptimize’ field did not work. Password strength indicator remained invisible.

2. If I disable / untick the ‘Optimize CSS Code’ option in AO, the password strength indicator of PB re-appears, but if I disable the ‘Optimize JavaScript Code’ – nothing happens and the password strength indicator remains invisible.

Plz advise.

ok, can you try excluding style-front-end.css from css optimization?

@frank

Yes! It worked. Thanks. But, what does it mean though? How much is sacrificed here?

well, that’s one CSS file not aggregated, so you will probably have a (very) small performance impact. if you want to have a more specific idea, you could do tests (https://webpagetest.org and/or https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/) with and without that exclusion?
