Fixed in 1.3.10

In WP 4.8.1 they have done two things
1. made the text widget understand ‘legacy’ html when it was used prior to 4.8
2. created an html only widget ( for new html only code )

This, in theory, resolves all the issues from 4.8 regarding the text widget changes.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Those scripts are redundant loaded by the ‘settings framework’. I will refactor the settings so it doesn’t try to load unneeded libraries in admin.

The callum macdonald plugin seems a little overly complex with having to update the database, when there is a perfectly working plugin in the WordPress repository that reverts the visual editor and text widget back to pre 4.8 which is simple to use. Turn on and go.

Note that WordPress 4.8.1 where there will be ‘intelligent’ legacy support for the text widget ( proper backwards compatibility ), so an option is not to upgrade yet. But if you do want to upgrade now use my plugin above to get you out of trouble;e with the visual editor.

When there is a stable development 4.8.1 text widget I will test my plugin and adjust for compatibility.

Small update – my plugin mentioned above I have added disabling of the visual editor in the text widget as default, now.

Plugin I wrote doesn’t disable the visual editor – put it does re-introduce the add paragraph check box. Solves most of my issues but don’t think it covers all the code mangling ( although I’m not seeing code mangling but then maybe my tags are ok )

Thanks for pointing that out, I will check it out and resolve. Its not a critical issue, but it is related to adding the ‘donate’ link, so important to me !

Thank you for getting back, not every one would be so kind as to admit human error.

My plugin is specifically built with Fail2Ban in mind, to enable firewall lockout of non admin users looking to enumerate ( a hacker foot print ). And I have sites with Stop Spammers.

Another question I forgot to ask was what version of PHP are you on?

Can you check your error logs for any strange messages please.

I can’t vouch for all 20,000 sites but it is definitely working on the sites I can vouch for ( that doesn’t mean there isn’t an issue with a certain combination of technology )

As I haven’t heard back I will mark as resolved, please let me know if you have any further issues

I have just retested and it is working as expected on all use cases.

The most likely scenario is that you are logged in to the WordPress dashboard ( as logged in used are not restricted ) or your have a conflicting security plugin active.

e.g.
forbidden – number in author name not allowed = 1

and

{“code”:”rest_cannot_access”,”message”:”Only authenticated users can access the User endpoint REST API.”,”data”:
{“status”:401}}

Thank you for your input.

Can you advise the version of WordPress in your tests and also any other plugins you have activated at the time?

Version 1.2 is released
Book now should work

As mentioned on testing the character limit works for me. If still a problem for you will need more details as above.

This should be working now in 1.2

“When I select ‘Display Excerpt’, it does not pull the text from the ‘Excerpt’ Area, it pulls it from the main description.”

Unfortunately a limitation of the API that is is the content – not except – I will adjust the wording – https://automattic.github.io/eventbrite-api/developers.html to say content

” It also appears that the character limit does not work, as I can set it to 40 and it still displays over 200 characters.”

On my test system the character limit works . It wopuld be useful to know what version of WordPress you are on, what version of PHP you are on, and if there are any errors relating to the plugin in your error logs

“For the ‘Book Now’ I have the box checked, but there is no image or text showing up in the listing. Behavior appears to be the same for a checked or unchecked box.”

Sorry, but somehow that code got missed out of the current release – I have added the book now code to the next release and testing it now.
