Thanks for the comment. Yes, I know the plugin is old.

However, the first time i found the scrollbars frozen, the plugin had been DELETED. Plugins don’t delete themselves, as far as I know. They are deleted by humans. I now have proof it’s not the plugins. I moved to a new host on 10 March 2024. I changed all admin passwords at least twice. Nobody but me has access; and the host, who can get in through cpanel.

Tonight, on a different site of mine I spent 3 hours writing a post and putting it up with a video embedded and some images and commentary. I then backed up the site and downloaded. I don’t yet know if I was quick enough… someone immediately destroyed the whole post, removed it from the top menu, deleted the pics from the media folder, went into cpanel and deleted the swl back for THIS date that was done around 1;30 am. This is not ordinary vandalism it’s gangstalking. You want to know who the host is, let me know, I’ll tell you privately by email. Vicious deliberate vandalism

Back on the English site, with Dewdrop still deactivated, the pages are still frozen and won’t scroll, no default scrollbars showing.

So, I just installed a DIFFERENT plugin, Scrollbar, from the WP repository. The design shows up, but the PAGES still won’t scroll.

So, does that suggest that whatever is stopping the vertical scrolling action from happening on the whole site is not related to the Dewdrop plugin, or to the new Scrollbar plugin. Again, is it hacking?

AND AGAIN, I ASK – NO ANSWER YET – WHERE DO SCROLLBARS COME FROM? If somebody wanted to disable the default scrollbars as shown on the VIEWED site, where would they do it? How would they do it?

OK, this time, I edited. i added two footnote numbers, 13 and 14, because I missed putting them into the English. I saved. I then hit VIEW the page, and there are NO DEFAULT scrollbars again on the outside of the site. So, please, someone tell me, WHERE ARE MY SCROLLBARS? Because right now, DewDrop is deactivated and so is Lightspeed cache. Thank you.

Wait again. In order to get at the footnotes I need, I hit EDIT on page 3-29.

I was instantly taken inside the WP editing window, and the default scrollbars popped up! They work in editing, they do not work in viewing online at this moment.

Wait! It’s happening again. You think I’m crazy.

It’s happening NOW to the English version of the site.

I just went over there to consult a couple of footnotes, and the PAGE would not scroll down, it was frozen, the whole site was frozen, nothing would scroll, but THIS time, the DewDrop designed scrollbars were visible. Hit page-down all you like, nothing moved.

I then went into plugins and deactivated DewDrop. I also deactivated Lightspeed cache.

Came back out, hit page down, nothing doing. No default scrollbars anywhere. But I had already accessed the English site an hour ago to check something, and it was not frozen. I did not touch the design or the plugins, I just verified some text of mine. And now, an hour later, the whole site is frozen, and has no default scrollbars. This has to be hacking.

Ok, let me try to straighten this mess out.

When I logged in on 29 March, I found no scrollbars on the site, and Dewdrop had been deleted from the “installed plugins” page.  I was worried it might be hacking, that’s why I asked, ‘where do scrollbars come from?’

I spent 5-6 hours trying to figure out how Dewdrop could have been deleted, and whether code had been injected somewhere to shut the scrollbars off.

Then, suddenly, after a lot of reuploads of the site and other backups, the defaukt scrollbars reappeared.  By then, I had reinstalled Dewdrop, so I now activated it, and the default scrollbars seemed to disappear again.

I just had another look. It seems that Dewdrop defaulted to a style with a tiny scrollbar that was hidden behind the web site header was invisible in the margin, and it looked like the scrollbars were gone, but in fact they had been restyled to the point they disappeared.

I have just now restyled the scrollbars back to the way they were before I found Dewdrop deleted, so they match the English site, and they are showing up again.

Conclusion:  how did Dewdrop get deleted in the first place, I didn’t do it.  I had no reason to do it, I wasn’t working on the site design at the time, I’d been working on the translation.  So, we’re back to my worry that it’s a hacker.  I changed the admin pass when I migrated the site to this host.  Nobody had the password but me.  Nobody could get into the site but me… and the host.  So now I’m worried that the host deleted the DewDrop plugin.  I’ve had a previous host delete a wp-avatar plugin in another site which eliminated the profile pic (I don’t use gravatar).  So, now, do I have another invader and do I have to move my sites again?

Answering @mdshak from https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/where-do-scrollbars-come-from/

I’ve reactivated Dewdrop plugin and the site scrollbars have disappeared again. I presume the plugin has to be active to be debugged. Thanks very much.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I just left a long forum question over at Support for Dewdrop Scrollbar plugin.

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/dewdrop-plugin-deletes-itself-and-scrollbars-gone-from-site/

After 4-5 hours of testing of all kinds, the default scrollbars suddenly reappeared, but only as long as Dewdrop is deactivated. It’s deactivated right now. But when I first found the problem, the scrollbars were gone, and the plugin was gone, as if it had deleted itself!

UPDATE:

I have just discovered that by deactivating BuddyBoss Platform free plugin (obtained from the BuddyBoss web site), Advanced File Manager starts to work again. I’m using BuddyBoss Version 2.5.40. I would really hate to lose my File Manager. Is there a work-around for this? Thanks in advance.

Yes, Montserrat does have regular, italics, bold, etc.? I knew that from a theme I tested out which has Montserrat as an option with all available modes of text decoration.? I didn’t keep that theme, but the font looks good in other themes; so I installed your web font loader in order to have it elsewhere.

As mentioned in my original support post, however, your web fonts loader eliminates the text decoration.? Here’s Montserrat at google fonts with all the variations:

What’s the point of the “Pro” version? I don’t need “guidance”, I need Montserrat as provided by google.

Alrighty. I installed one, now I’m afraid to activate because it says smart crop. I don’t want to crop my images. Will it auto-crop everything the minute I turn it on? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for your reply. But I don’t want my images replaced with WebP/AVIF.

Hi. 

Thanks for your quick reply.

I’ve just installed it in my Peepso site (in development) and it occurs to me that it may alter all my headers, which have to be wide to conform to my theme.  This is my second site where I’ve installed it; so now I hope I haven’t shrunk all my headers in my first site. 

I would strongly suggest adding two options to this plugin, to be safe:

1.  Reset back to original image sizes

2.? Exclude specified images (headers in particular that must be very wide, and backgrounds for another ).

Thanks for your time.

You know, I just realized that something weird is going on with my website. I have others with lots of images, the attachment pages don’t show up in a search on these other sites, nor do the images themselves.

Perhaps the fact they’re showing up (unwanted) in this one site is due to another plugin or an earlier version of wordpress. I seem to have a headache ahead of me to try to test and solve this problem.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
