Spam plugin

  • WARNING: Spam plugin.

    I found this plugin installed on my site without my permission.

    I use Gutenberg a fair amount and had never even heard of this plugin until I saw it that popped up in my editor.

    I couldn’t figure out how it got there and only eventually got a message under the settings for Redux that said

    “Did I install this?”

    “Maybe not! These items are using Redux. If you want to keep using them, Redux will need to remain installed and activated.”

    So basically, I had the WP Mail Logging plugin installed and it installed this plugin on my site without my permission.

    Surely this type of behaviour cannot be allowed.

    This plugin shows 1 million active installs – I wonder how many of those are without consent.

    WP should ban plugins that engage in this type of behaviour.

    The issue was with WP Mail Logging’s implementation of Redux. They were doing it incorrectly. I personally fixed it for them. It will no longer be an issue. I don’t see the reason to give us one star, however. It’s not our fault.
