Several issues, currently non-functional

Hi @aljuk,

Can you give the console examples? And if you have a link to the issue with background / buttons that’d be really helpful as well

Thanks
Phil

same here. went back to previous version

Same. I had a giant loading animation with no option to disable, background colour and background weren’t working (empty divs) and both Yes and No buttons took the user to the “No” URL.

Tried re-saving settings, toggling Munge, purging LiteSpeed cache and a variety of other things, all with no benefit.

Gave up and rolled back to the last 2.X version. This site is being replaced soon anyway.

Thanks for all of your efforts on a (usually) excellent free plugin. The admin notices about big changes in 3.0 are a nice courtesy if you only apply updates manually.

In the age of auto-updates, a massive code refactor needs to be backwards compatible and extensively tested. Otherwise, it gets tested on live sites whether we like it or not.

Hi @bncpeter,

Just wanted to run down some of your points:

The yes/no buttons seem to have affected a small number of users on very specific versions of Safari. This was patched in 3.0.2, but then an even smaller number of browsers still didn’t work. This has been refactored in 3.0.4.

Giant loading animation sounds like the CSS is missing, as do the empty divs. This would be set to enqueue by default unless you have opted not to have it in the previous version (v3 appearance -> layout, v2 appearance -> ) which leads onto;

It is backwards compatible. All your previous settings should have been moved over to the new version, and the old settings remain ‘just in case’. I have tested this and at no time has it wiped out any of my settings. Which is almost worse as if it has done that for others, it’s hard to diagnose.
You could reset the settings in the tools section which would effectively re-run the migrate scripts if they are unexpected.

IMO, auto-updates are bad, and certainly shouldn’t be updating major versions (minors and patches, sure), but that’s a topic for elsewhere I think.

Hope the new site goes well!

Thanks
Phil

Still broken.

Background image is full size (not cover), and positioned top left (not centre centre, which is how it’s actually set).

The buttons are positioned off-screen and can’t be accessed.

Hi @aljuk,

Without being able to see this it’s going to be difficult to work out the issue as it sounds mainly a CSS issue, can you post a link to the page?

Thanks,
Phil
