Hi Dave,

Did you customize your block list at all? This should only occur if you have your own domain in the block list.

Can I please ask for the domain of your site and I can review lists to see if I can provide a quick fix for you today?

I’m disappointed to hear of your frustrations as it’s my goal to provide quality plugins which I thoroughly test before updating.

Do you have FTP access to your site? I’d be happy to assist with resolution.

Mentalist,

I’m going to mark this resolved for now since it’s a conflict outside of my control. If you need any further help with a workaround, please let me know.

Can you please disable or uninstall “WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plug-in”. It is causing a conflict. Other plugins are similarly affected.

The issue appears to be that some plugins use character encoding which is not being properly handled properly by the automatic upgrade plugin. This plugin uses some UTF-8 characters for currency symbols.

I do not recommend using the automatic upgrade plugin because it has features which can potentially lead to damage or compromise of your database and WP install. My suggestion is to uninstall it. Most (not all) of the features it provides can be done using the wp-config.php file. Here’s some relevant documentation: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do on my end to prevent this conflict as it’s caused by a bug within an unrelated plugin. My recommendation is to uninstall the 3rd party plugin and use the documentation above to customize your update behavior.

Are you using “WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plug-in” by any chance?

Here is an example where it was a known issue: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/cant-activate-plugin-2?replies=6

The error message itself is unrelated to my plugin but it would seem that some additional setup is conflicting. Can you please let me know if you have that other plugin?

Hi Mental,

I’m looking in to this now but that line number does not exist in my code. Can you please provide a full error message – does it provide a filename where the error occurs?

@killerdog,

Sorry for lack of recent updates.

Shortcode support has been added using “[btc_widget]”. Per request, inline styling has been removed.

I would appreciate your feedback!

Hi Killerdog,

I think this can be accommodated pretty easily in my next release. I’ve added it to the roadmap.

One concern I would have is that when it’s using the widgets api, the function output is getting wrapped and styled appropriately based on the theme. This will be more difficult and inconsistent when using a shortcode.

Are you comfortable with having to add a bit of css/html to make sure it’s styled correctly for your site’s specific theme?

Marking Resolved

News from blockchain.info is that they will be fully back online and operational within the next 48-72 hours.

I am seeing that their API is already back online and operational which means that users of this plugin should now have their issues resolved. However, I would expect some brief outages over the next couple of days as they recover from the outage.

Please post here if you’re experiencing an error retrieving widget data – I’m more than happy to help.

I did notice – You even used the same class name I did ??

Ratings coming your way…

Sorry it took me this long to review the updates, I finally got a few free moments and ran some quick tests. Everything appears to be working as expected.

Thanks once again!

Thanks for the update! I should have time to review the changes later this week.

Glad to help! Thanks for your attention.

Yes, that looks about right – I don’t think it needs to be abstracted exactly the same as the example you provided but that function does invoke the correct functions to achieve this.
