@novaumc: so we hope, because, aside from the fact that we cache lots of resources, the first load is really slow (and the server is very near…)

@novaumc: the crazy thing is we had a fight with the hosting provider, we initially didn’t suspect it could be a WF-related issue

Make sure that when you create a checkbox field, that you also include a checked value (value if checked). If this is not included, you’ll get an error message upon submission that the field was not created.

It’s a checkbox and I added an “agree” value, just like the default TOS checkbox. BUT, I found another error:

Meta Key must contain only letters, numbers, and underscores

And I haven’t noticed it for a simple reason: the left border of the error text is green, not red as the one displayed in the warnings. ??

So this works, but there’s apparently no way to add a text to the right of the checkbox.

Hi Chad, thanks for your kind reply.

It sounds like you’re saying you think you need to reinstall the plugin to update this? No, that’s not the case. Creating a custom field is as simple as clicking the “Add Field” button in the Fields tab and adding the field you need.

Yes, sorry, I misunderstood the sense of this post (one should never read only half a post ?? ): https://www.butlerblog.com/2010/09/27/adding-custom-fields-in-wp-members/ Anyway, in my case, I do create the field the way you suggest and apparently it is not working: once added, I don’t see my custom field in the list.

This plugin does not change existing settings when there are updates.

This is a separate issue I’m still investigating: I’m an old WP-members user and I found myself setting again my settings when I update (not always, but sometimes this happens. They get lost for some reason, don’t ask me how. Once I lost the captcha and I started receiving tons of fake-users spam) ??

As for the upcoming 3.2.0 version (…)

Will the update be published before May 25th?

Reply to the second message: I found you can use a shortcut to set a custom hyperlink on the TOS word (but, as I said, I would like to set a completely different message): https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/shortcodes/form/#tos

1. && 2. Ok, I’ll check this out;

3. in the Fields sections of WP-settings there’s a list of input types. If you edit the TOS one (click corresponding “Edit”), you access a page where you can set a “Field label”. This one should be “The name of the field as it will be displayed to the user”. But: once I set whatever value, nothing is displayed to “the user”, unless “the user” is administrator of the website (non the user of the form), in that case this causes the change of the label in the Fields title;

I suppose, anyway, that I should create a custom field, even if I red this is a little tedious task, because you should uninstall the plugin, install it, then set again any single setting (I must say, and I don’t know if this is a known issue, I generally loose some settings even when there are updates)

Then, what I don’t understand is why I found in the sitemap something related to content I have in the admin area: there’s a plugin generating a paginated view and I found many references to this plugin in the sitemap. Why?

@wfalaa, sorry, it was the only information I could find and I thought it was entirely related the Wordfence product.

Thank you very much! ??

@wfalaa, this is from the privacy policy I found here https://www.wordfence.com/terms-of-use-and-privacy-policy/ (the bold parts):

1. Automatic Information

When you use the Services, statistics about your website visitors are automatically collected. The Company monitors statistics such as how many people visit your website, the visitor’s IP address, pages visited, entry and exit points, from which domains visitors come and browser types. This data is used to provide the Services. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to users and visitors of the Services.

Consequently, the Company has the right to transfer information outside of your country. Therefore, you acknowledge and consent to the sharing of your information with the Company and Company-related entities worldwide.

@wfalaa, thanks for your kind reply.

I need more informations: a technical cookie that “identifies” a user is an “analytical” cookie that could be a profiling cookie. So, I need to know if this kind of analytical data is used to serve ads to my users or ONLY to the admin in the WF dashboard, or other place. I need to know if analytical data are used for other purposes too (different than adv). I need to know what data and how (anonymized?) is shared with third parties, etc.

I need to know if I can stop any data collection through some option (opt-out).

Moreover, since I have to list all the cookies, is there any list of any cookie, explaining what they do?

Thanks!

it’s pretty easy:

substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2) == 'en'(etc.)

Oh, maybe I understand something from this example:

strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], "google.com")!=false

I could do a similar thing for the language

Ok, thanks, it’s interesting and I see many options related to WP native functions (is_home, etc), but how could I decide which widget to display based on a browser language setting?

It was the second one. Ok, don’t worry, thanks ??

No, unfortunately it is a shared hosting and I have little control over it (just htaccess files)
