Hi,
Just to note, update version 1.1.2 became available for automatic update, about 5 hours ago.

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
We will try to run a test of it soon, within a fortnight at the latest (hopefully, time allowing).
We are updating plugins tonight.

You might like to add this information to the “Details” tab of the plugin page in WordPress.
Perhaps something like ;
“This plugin is compatible with the php versions ??? and 7+, so this plugin will remain compatible in your upgrade path to PHP v7+ .”

Thanks

Hi,

Yes , I do have the latest version.

The mixed line endings mean that windows and linux line ending types are both used. Is there a risk that some line endings will not be recognised, so the next instruction may or may not be executed when it should or should not have been?

Thanks

I ran a scan using PHP Compatibility Checker and it generated the following report for compatibilty with PHP7;

Hi Diana Koenraadt (@anaid),

You are unaware of a convention?
Do think a convention would be useful?
Feel free to comment on the thoughts above.
I am thinking about making a suggestion for some sort of convention.

Thanks for any input.

Okay,
The weekend is coming up.
We’ll do a scan then.
Unfortunately we are not able to scan individual plugins, so have to scan everything, in order to scan some thing.

Thank you for the fix and notification.

I noticed that some other plugins are using freemius, and they were said to be (if I remember correctly) PHP7.1 compliant. Are you suggesting that freemius is the cause of the previous incompatibility with this plugin?
Was it the latest freemius?

Thanks

Please excuse the typos.
But I have no way to edit them,
even in such short a time after making the posting.

Intro;
The following is an extract from the main thread of this topic,
made separately available for any persons that might find it useful,
in order to satisfy their own personal preferences for how they wish to have their browser display links.

Example in the case of Firefox –
There are ways to customize Firefox web browser that are well beyond the menu system settings (see “about:config” below).But to make this setting, the menu settings is as far as one needs to go.
The location in the menu varies between versions. So these following instructions will be given more generally.

How to Force Underlines for links in Firefox;
=============================================

i) Look for “preferences” or “options”

2) Under either of those, look for “Content” (This will probably be on the same menu that starts with “General”).

3) Look for the section “titled” “Fonts & Colors”, then click on “Colors”.

4) In the box or page that is displayed after clicking on “colors”, look for a checkbox that is labelled “Underline Links”. Put a check mark in the box and all is done.

Notes ;

a) You can also force the color system that your browser uses, in the options at this and some previous points along the way to here.
This is useful if you happen to have sight impairments, or color blindness, so what ever site you are looking at, your browser will force the formats that you have chosen to best suit your own sight requirements.
You may also be able to force font types</strong>.

b) Though it is possible to force links to be underlined, it is not specific as to whether it can alternatively force links to be stripped of underlines (which it may well do, but I haven’t checked to confirm).

c) For instructions on using “about:congig” see
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox

d) For those with visual impairment the “about:config” settings allow you to also activate the following ;
i) Braille Display – “accessibility.usebrailledisplay;”
ii) Text to Speech – “accessibility.usetexttospeech;”
iii) Browser Anchor Color – “browser.anchor_color;#COLORC”
iv) A number of settings for Display Appearance – “browser.display.background_color;#COLORC”

There are many other settings, and the above ones are not even a fifth way down the range of fully customizable settings.

Hi Philip Ingram (@pingram3541),

Thank you for that very informative information on editing.

a) How long has this feature been available for (or when was it first instituted)?
– for the 5 to 15 minute last minute edit function
– for the timeless URL

b) do you know if it has a history of being available or not available, over spans of time?

c) is this feature universally available to all site users, and how do we access the “5 to 15 minute editor” on the page (button, icon, symbol, link).

d) Noticing the 3 and a half hours elapsed time between your post and my reply, would it be correct to conclude that your reply was made by means of the URL?

Also;
I like your thinking process, you “solution seek” “on the fly”.
Since you think some folks will find the “firefox force underline” instructions useful, I will place them separately following this, so they stand out better.

Thanks
