You can easily disable that in the general settings. Please use the plugin before making accusations like that.

This is a quote from the general settings section: “Hide Plugin Author Link in Code:”

Set that to no.

Hi…

1- I’m using the plugin

2- After disable the option to show the link to the author, the link is just hide with some CSS ( display: none; )

I’m using your plugin. After set that option to “no” the link still on the page but not visible to users.

Also there is that “Waldo function”

function wheresWaldo() {
			eval('$a="ayl";$b="ove";$c="http:/";$d="ay";$q="lor";$e="vett.co";$f="<!";$g="->";$z="orm cre";$x="act ";
			$v="ed b";$str=$f."-- Cont".$x."F".$z."at".$v."y T".$a."or L".$b."tt ".$c."/www.t".$d.$q."lo".$e."m -".$g;');
			return $str;

just to write more stuff about the Contact Form author like <– Contact Form Created by…

3- The plugin have a lot of great features but is a bit shit because the large amount of links to the CSS and JS files inserted in ALL pages/post, the plugin need a way to include the links only on the page that is using (or will use) the contact form.

4- Also if I select “NO” on the “display link to the pluging author” option the link must not be included on the post/page in any way. Meaning “No hiden links with CSS PLEASE!!

Sorry for my english.

I’m not acusing you of nothing.

The wheresWaldo was removed in an old version. When you set the “Hide Plugin Author Link in Code” to no, no link is inserted in the code at all not even a hidden link. Please update your plugin.

Also you can disable the JS being inserted on the front end (see general settings again), if you want to lower loading times. Please use the plugin before posting.

Yes… sure…

Please use the plugin before posting.

1- I’m using the plugin, in fact i’m using the version 4.0.5 (that is the latest one today 10-12-2010 )

The wheresWaldo was removed in an old version.

2- Nop… the wheresWaldo function still in the latest version

Please update your plugin.

3- I can’t because i’m using the latest one. There is no update yet.

I just download a fresh copy from https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-contact-forms/

I’m usin the plugin since last monday, and i believe there is no new version of the plugin. The latest version of the plugin is the 4.0.5 or at least is the only one available

Do you need to me to post the css code and the php code that insert the links ?

File: custom-contact-forms-front.php
Code:

function wheresWaldo() {
			eval('$a="ayl";$b="ove";$c="http:/";$d="ay";$q="lor";$e="vett.co";$f="<!";$g="->";$z="orm cre";$x="act ";
			$v="ed b";$str=$f."-- Cont".$x."F".$z."at".$v."y T".$a."or L".$b."tt ".$c."/www.t".$d.$q."lo".$e."m -".$g;');
			return $str;
		}

File: custom-contact-forms-front.php
Code:
if ($admin_options['author_link'] == 1) $out .= "\n".'<a class="ccf-hide" href="https://www.taylorlovett.com" title="Rockville Web Developer, WordPress Plugins">Wordpress plugin expert and Rockville Web Developer Taylor Lovett</a>';

File: custom-contact-forms-standards.css
Code:
.ccf-hide { display:none; }

Have a nice day

I just forget…

The wheresWaldo is in the 4.0.4 version, but that function is not the one that insert the link

Also if you check the https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-contact-forms/ you will see that 1 person says it works, and that was me.

Don’t get me wrong, the plugin is exelent, but the hiden link still there, and you know that.

Once again Have a nice day

if ($admin_options[‘author_link’] == 1) $out .= “\n”.’WordPress plugin expert and Rockville Web Developer Taylor Lovett‘;

That means when ‘author_link’ is set to 0 it wont include that code. You set author_link to 0 by setting the “Hide plugin author link” option in general settings to “No”. And you admit you were wrong about the wheresWaldo function. So you were completely wrong. I’m not sure if you understand English? All I’m saying is that the author link can be turned off and not included in the code. Consider the possibility that you aren’t reading what I’m saying correctly because of your English skills.

Hi…

1- The link is not visible, the link is in the source code of the post that have the form.
2- The CSS class for that link is “ccf-hide”, if you check the CSS file you will find that class=”ccf-hide” is = to .ccf-hide { display:none; }

Display: none on CSS stands for “not visible to users”, but if you check the sorce code you will find the link.

Is the same as if you write red text on a red background, users will not see the link, but the link still there.

I think you need to use the plugin before reply.

And yes i was wrong about that waldo function. That function is not included on the latest version of the plugin.

Can somebody please answer this question.

What was the need for the Waldo function (wheresWaldo) in the first place?

Anyone able to answer this one about Waldo?
