Thank you again for clarifying that.

Hello, thank you for the quick response.

*I think* I follow that. So its a matter of deleting the current plug-in and reinstalling the newer version, meanwhile all the database and settings should remain.

Thank you for this. I will proceed with caution.

Hi Thomas, Thank you for that and for the response.

Unfortunately there are several of us who work on different areas of the site so deleting notifcations in the admin before the relevent person who deals with Optin Monster has seen them isn’t ideal.

– For now we just made and edit and blocked it in the css as a couple of the team found it an annoyance/distraction when working in the admin.

I think it is a Site Ground issue. I can see they have recently added a lot of new code into our site related to caching without mentioning it.

I spoke to their support today, as after flushing it once it still was not updating till we flushed again, and was advised to add

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0,no-store"
</IfModule>

To htaccess in order to disable their Dynamic Caching. More at https://www.siteground.com/kb/disable-dynamic-caching-website/

@flashjunkie Thank you for posting this, we’ve been confused as to why the homepage was not updating all of a sudden, since about Feburary. We too are hosted with SiteGround so thank you for highlighting this issue.

Not sure what we will do going forward.

We’ve been using the plugin for some time but noticed that we seem to have this issue dating back about a month. Was there some change recently?

>edit< Found it is this issue we have https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/page-cache-issue-possibly-related-to-cpt/

Curious this. Have a lot of different installations running with the same host and this only came up on one site so far. The only difference between this site and the others I can think of is that it is in a subdirectory rather than being the main website. All fixed with a permissions change but odd how they got changed to begin with.

Oops, seems I asked this a month ago when I was updating another website, sorry, have my answer here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/changelog-update-8/

This sounds very similar to https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/odd-red-box-showing-at-bottom-of-forms-before-being-submitted/

I’ve just been working on a site someone else put together. I can code out the box but would like to know why its showing up.

Thats great, thanks.

Sorry, it was my fault, I was looking for something in the plugin and it was because the site settings had not been updated correctly in Genreal Settings. I should have double checked that first.

Thanks for the quick response and all the best.

Aha, thank you for the quick response, just wanted to check before updating. Thanks again.

Was it simply a change of names?

I found this in the source log;

“Plugin ownership transfer
@2319129 3 weeks se-schwarz Plugin ownership transfer
@2319127 3 weeks se-schwarz Plugin ownership transfer
@2319122 3 weeks se-schwarz updated readme due to transfer plugin ownership “

Hi, Thank you for that.

That is good news that this will be fixed in the next update, the response I received did not mention this at all.

It is also good that you plan for updates to be 100% backward compatible in future.

Thank you again for getting back to me to update me with this information.

Hi, I received the following from your support…

The link is overlapped on the Label because we have removed the support
editor link option.

So we removed the editor link option from the Icon list block due to which it is not possible to add a link only to parts of the Label Text. You can just remove the Text to which you have added the link in the previous version.

So from that it seems the plugin has broken this part of itself and its functionally in this update.

Most plugin updates are designed to be backward compatible to how the plugin works. We can go back and change all existing instances of this to the new way of doing, which is a nuisance but will only take a couple of hours, However I worry going forward what problems future updates may bring given this lack of thought or designed backward compatibility.

I do appreciate the quick response to this to confirm this issue is a part of the plugin update, thank you.

Hello, thank you for getting in touch, I will do that now.

Copy of text from ticket in case it helps anyone in future;

I have icon lists with links like this https://imgur.com/ywvPaPM

I don’t know if this is related to the above.

All plugins are switched off, I get the same with the default wordpress twentytwenty theme.
