I see. Thanks for the reply.

@wfpeter I just realized that WordPress.com supports two-factor authentication with WebAuthn. Passkeys are gaining traction, and I would love to see Wordfence filling the gap for www.ads-software.com users (like your main competitor already does). https://wordpress.com/support/security/two-step-authentication/security-key-authentication/

Thanks, @2winfactor.

Before we decided to leave Spectra, I wrote this small proof-of-concept snippet to add our custom icons. We haven’t used it in production, but feel free to take inspiration from it.

/**
 * PoC Add Custom Icons to UAGB (Spectra)
 * 
 * Adds additional icons and icon categories to UAGB (Spectra). Hooks into 
 * the undocumented uagb_icons_chunks filter. The categories seem to be in
 * the last item of the array (!?) among the icons. See spectra-icons-v6-3.php.
 * 
 * @todo Re-sort categories by title, move code to Spectra tweaker class, and 
 * move icons to resource file.  
 * 
 * @param mixed $icon_chunks Probably an array with icons and categories. 
 * @return mixed Probably an array with icons and categories.

        return $icon_chunks;
    }

Looking into the settings for the HLS library (hls.js), there is at least a setting for limiting the quality by resolution.

capLevelToPlayerSize (default: false) if set to true, the adaptive algorithm with limit levels usable in auto-quality by the HTML video element dimensions (width and height). If dimensions between multiple levels are equal, the cap is chosen as the level with the greatest bandwidth. In some devices, the video element dimensions will be multiplied by the device pixel ratio. Use ignoreDevicePixelRatio for a strict level limitation based on the size of the video element.

For bypassing readers, Spectra marketed social login as an existing feature in the announcement post for Spectra Pro back in August 2023.

Thanks for the reply, @bsfherman.

I mainly asked because your colleague (over in the Spectra Facebook Group) said it was a temporary workaround that should be fixed. Is it the same case with Astra?

Regarding the auto-loaded database options, they are temporarily necessary to prevent site issues while old code support still exists in Spectra. We are maintaining these options to ensure your website runs smoothly during the transition. After a few more releases, we will notify you in advance and then clean up all the auto-loaded options and old UAGB code support.

Hi @djuric.

Wow! That’s amazing. Thank you so much for your valuable contribution to the WordPress community!

Thanks for the detailed post, @jehnlemole.

We’re in the middle of migrating away from Spectra as well, but mainly for stability reasons. We’re going with GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks instead of Kadance due to GenerateBlocks’ amazing Global Styles feature.

I just wanted to add a link to the Find My Blocks plugin. It is very helpful when trying to find the last pages with Spectra blocks.

While waiting for a response, see the answer we got over on this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/autoload-off/ (incorrectly marked as resolved).

In my original post, I wrote “deactivation hook” where I should’ve written “uninstall hook”.

@jehnlemole, Spectra was unfortunately not written with uninstallation in mind. The developers has yet to implement the clean-up that should be triggered by the uninstall hook.

You must clean up the remainders manually. See Clean-up after uninstalling Spectra.

@mohsinbsf, thanks for the answer.

I can confirm that Spectra also added an autoloading row with hundreds of kilobytes to the options table on our site.
