OK, that’s interesting. I have a new version of Essential Grid, which is in use so I can’t deactivate it forever, but I just a quick test and deactivated it, went and pasted youtube short url and the video showed up.

However, when I switch between visual editor and text tabs and back again the video has gone and only the code shows. Definitely something not right, but there is obviously a conflict of some sort.

Thanks for your suggestion Metin. I installed it and retried – videos still not embedding.

Funnily enough, this site did have Enable JQuery migrate installed on it, but I took it off as I didn’t think I needed it anymore. It’s not meant to be a permanent solution.

Either way, yesterday before updating to 5.6 I could add videos without any problem and without jquery migrate. So in reality it doesn’t make sense that jquery migrate would fix it.

It’s an irritating issue, I’m starting to think something corrupted during the update – it did seem to take an unusual amount of time to perform the update. This site is on a server not chosen by me.

I have to say, I don’t normally complain about things, but after spending several days getting this plugin set up, to discover there’s no option to have pretty urls for categories is really disappointing.

Url structure is really important for SEO, surely it means this plugin loses it’s usefulness if the SEO side of things is not up to scratch.

Having bought this plugin I could do with a patch or fix for this fairly quickly as I’m just coming to the end of a project that is relying heavily on this plugin.

Please help

Hi,

I have also spotted this issue. I have been testing my site for load speed on Pingdom.

It appears that one of the reasons for the site loading being slowed down is because it is looking for the “https://www.mydomain.com/wp-json/>; rel=“https://api.w.org/“ resource and because it can’t find it it is returning a 404 error, which is being shown as “/none” in Pingdom. The trouble is it’s taking 10 seconds or more to decide it can’t find the resource.

Nevertheless, I did some searching and found that if you add the following function to the function.php file it would stop your page looking for the resource:

function remove_api () {
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rest_output_link_wp_head', 10 );
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_oembed_add_discovery_links', 10 );
remove_action( 'template_redirect', 'rest_output_link_header', 11, 0 );
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, 'remove_api' );

So I added the code and it does indeed remove it from the header, and I alos found that Pingdom no longer shows the link itself in the “/none” element, but it is still returning a 404 error, which subsequently is still slowing down the speed of the page loading.

To illustrate this I’ve created a graphic – I can’t see a way to share images here so I’ve posted an image on my website to illustrate what I’m seeing in the Pingdom speed tester.
Here’s the link to the post:

My problem is I’m not a coder, so if anybody could enlighten us on how to fix this issue that would be really, really great.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your help on this everybody.

I’ve been trying to work out where my problem is.

I opened up Firebug and got the following error message:

“ReferenceError: _gaq is not defined
_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘Contact Form’, ‘Submit’]);”

I’m not a coder so I don’t really understand, but I’m guessing I’ve set something up incorrectly – do I need to set something up in Google Analytics? Which I don’t have access to at the moment, but can get it.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Takayuki,

Just wanted to say I finally found the route of my problem – the ID field in my posts table wasn’t set to be the “PRIMARY key” and subsequently wasn’t set to “AUTO_INCREMENT” – I think this had been caused by a transfer of the database from one host to another.

It finally got resolved today and all seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for your help.

Ok I will give it a go, but won’t get a chance to try for a couple of days. I’ll be back in contact when done.

Thanks

Hi Takayuki,

I’m using version 1.3.

Presumably this probably comes down to Contact form not “talking to” Flamingo correctly.

The site did undergo a change of host recently, which didn’t go very smoothly to be honest.

Do you think it would be worth me uninstalling Contact form and Flamingo and reinstalling both of them?

If I do uninstall Contact Form will the current forms get deleted?

Any advice on this appreciated.

Thanks once again for your help.

Duncan

Hi Takayuki,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Do you mean frontend or backend?

Frontend is here: https://www.morleyhayes.com

There are forms on these pages:
https://www.morleyhayes.com/privilege-card-special-offers/
https://www.morleyhayes.com/contact/
https://www.morleyhayes.com/wedding-enquiry-form/
https://www.morleyhayes.com/functions-room-enquiry-form/

if you need to mean backend should I need a secure way to send you details.

Thanks

Duncan

Hi Takayuki,

I thought if I send you how one of my forms is set up you might be able to see an issue.

Here is the form syntax:
————————-
<p>Your Name (required)
[text* your-name] </p>

<p>Telephone Number (required)
[tel tel-786 placeholder “Telephone no”] </p>

<p>Mobile Number (required)
[tel tel-308 placeholder “Mobile number”]</p>

<p>Your Email (required)
[email* your-email] </p>

<p>Address Line 1 (required)
[text* text-564 placeholder “Address line 1”]</p>
<p>Address Line 2
[text text-854 placeholder "Address line 2"]</p>
<p>Town/City (required)
[text* text-552 placeholder “Town/City”]</p>
<p>County
[text text-694 placeholder "County"]</p>
<p>Post Code (required)
[text* text-694 placeholder “Post Code”]</p>
<p>Country (required)
[text* text-40 placeholder “Country”]</p>

[checkbox checkbox-451 “Tick here if you would like to receive text alerts for golf news and special offers:”]

<p>[submit “Send”]</p>
————————-
I have also added these lines of code to additional settings:
————————-
flamingo_email: “[your-email]”
flamingo_name: “[your-name]”
————————-

Can you see any issues, or should I try something like uninstalling Contact form and Flamingo and reinstall?

Thanks

Duncan

Yes. No entries have been recorded and the lines that are appearing in inbound messages are empty.

OK, I think I’ve just answered my own question – its the same.
