By default, the plugin might be filtering the user list somehow. Under the list of users (even if it’s empty), do you see something that says ‘Filitered. Clear.’??

You can click on the ‘Clear’ link to clear out any filters that are being applied to the user list and causing the list not to show any users. This might be what’s causing the issue.

Here’s a screenshot to help show you what I’m talking about.

When you activate the plugin, it should add a new top level menu item in the left hand admin menu. The new menu item is labeled ‘AAM’.

If the ‘AAM’ menu item isn’t showing, try switching to a default theme and/or deactivating your other plugins and see if it shows up. If it does suddenly show up, then you probably have something that is modifying your capabilities. A lot of themes and some ‘Security’ plugins will automatically remove some of the admin user’s capabilities in an attempt to help you avoid messing with the code of a plugin or theme.

I completely disagree with this review! Even when this review was posted a few months back, the documentation was great and explained everything that you needed — I can’t believe that some people can complain so much when they are GIVEN something for free.

How many hours do you think the author has spent developing this? And this is how you repay him for allowing you to piggy back on his work?

If you’re having this much trouble following the documentation, I hesitate to put you in the category of ‘the average developer’.

Yes, it’s relatively complex but it’s also straight forward and simple to use as long as you know what you’re doing. Instead of complaining that you’re having a hard time understanding it, you should be thanking this plugin author for not only giving you an excellent starting point for development, but also a wonderful example of solid coding practices — use this as a learning experience. If this is tough for you to understand, then take it upon yourself to learn a bit more about OOP instead of complaining.

If using this is beyond your skill level, it’s not the author’s fault — it’s yours my friend.

My Security Evaluation

I have scanned the images with a number of programs and have found no threats. Here are the links to the results of my scans.

Scan 1

Scan 2

I have also perused the code and see no security threats. There is no use of base64, all http connections are appropriate and all https connections are made directly to Google.

If you’re not comfortable entering your GA login creds – you don’t have to. The plugin will still work without that information. However, if you want to use the GA dashboard widget that displays GA stats in your WordPress admin, then you WILL need to enter you GA creds.

I have used this plugin for over a year (with the dashboard widget enabled) and I have had no issues. The problem that socialgrower had was very likely a coincidence.

@cowok, I’m not sure if you were replying to me or not. I guess I’m in the minority, but when I use the method above, it only calls JQuery through the plugin on one page. I am able to use JQuery on all other pages without a problem.

I guess this would not be a good fix for someone that uses CCF on their sidebar or on every page of their site, though.

Richard, I use YOAST as well. It’s a great way to make sure that my on-page SEO is on track. Thank you for the suggestion.

But, what I was trying to say with this post is that the plugin called ‘SEO Rank Reporter’ is a great way to keep track of where my posts are in Google for the keywords that I’m targeting. They do two different things, but both are equally important.

Yes, the JQUERY problem is quite frustrating. However, you can restrict the problem to just the page where a form is located.

1. 1. In the ‘General Settings’ of CCF, make sure that ‘Front End JQuery’ is set to ‘Enabled’
2. 2. Find the option labeled ‘Restrict Frontend JS and CSS to Form Pages Only’ and set it to ‘Yes’ – this will cause JS to load only on pages that have a form, provided that you follow the last steps.
3. 3. In the CCF Admin, go to the form that you use and click on ‘More Options’ and find the option labeled ‘Form Pages:’.
4. 4. In the box next to ‘Form Pages:’ enter the page id of the page where the form is located aka the page id of the page where you pasted the form’s shortcode.

Now, your plugins will all work on every page except the page where the form is located. Not perfect, but it’s the best solution that I could find and it worked for my needs.

Hope that helps someone, because this JQuery issue seems to be causing a lot of problems.
