This could be related to https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/wp_is_json_request/

Try adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file

function wp_is_json_request() {
    if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'] ) && false !== strpos( $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'application/json' ) ) {
        return true;
    }
    if ( isset( $_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'] ) && 'application/json' === $_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'] ) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Hi @nextscripts
I would be grateful for an update on when we might get a fix for this.
Thank you. ??

Hi Pratik,

Yes, it’s a strange one but I suspect it’s just an issue with test payments.

1. EDD version 2.9.16
2. Easy Digital Downloads – Purchase Limit version 1.2.19, Easy Digital Downloads – Downloads As Services version 1.06
3. https://www.ads-software.com/themes/ashe/

I think it may be because I am making many test orders as I configure EDD in a short space of time using different valid email addresses from the same pc and browser.

For example, if I go to Dashboard > All Downloads and click on the Sales column for any download the test purchases are listed but the Customer Name is the same for all of them. In payment history, the customer names for a particular download are all the same even though the different email addresses are correct.

Could possibly be a cache/cookie issue. I’m ready to purge the payment history and test small live payments now so will let you know how that goes.

Thanks,

Pádraig

Hi carcar8,

I’m wondering if you solved this and if it just relates to test purchases.

I am experiencing the same issue while making test purchases before going live. I have tried with three different emails.

Thank you.

What type of block is it? I’ve just discovered that floated blocks cannot be moved and that this is intentional, which I find very difficult to understand for a new editor. It may be resolved in the future. Check out the following threads and see if it could be the cause of your problem.

https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10085
and
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/10300

So, if your block is floated/aligned you will not be able to drag and drop it.

Thanks and apologies for my misunderstanding. The editor portion is the part I am interested in. That part will not be updated in the plugin, only in core? I don’t give a hoot about Phase 2 at the moment but want to make sure I’m following the editor updates.

Hi @joyously,

Can you please confirm that the Gutenberg plugin is not being updated? Otto in a WP Tavern comment states the following.

The Gutenberg plugin will continue to be updated with new features, it’ll become the “development” version of the block editor, so people who want to use the latest stuff can just update and activate the plugin again.

Thanks,

Pádraig

Thanks @jnashhawkins for your reply. I appreciate it. I am aware of the Classic plugin and the Disable Gutenberg plugin but I was hoping to stay on 4.9.x versions so that it may be easier to migrate if I ever decide to move to ClassicPress which I will look at in the next 6-8 months. I know that I could upgrade to WordPress 5 as there is a ClassicPress tool for migrating from that version also but I just want to stay with 4.9.x for now and keep Gutenberg completely out of my core installs.

Thanks also @joyously for your help.
1. It’s a pity the Gutenberg plugin won’t receive further updates. I feel it would have been useful so that users could continue testing until they feel comfortable upgrading to 5. Instead, following your reply, I have set up a local wamp install for version 5 and will continue to test each Gutenberg/version 5 update there.

2. I had WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE set to false in wp-config and when I removed it I was prompted in Admin > Updates to update to 5.0.1 instead of 4.9.9. I updated to 4.9.9 manually and will wait to see how things develop with the new editor over the coming months.

I think it’s a pity the new editor has moved from a multi-paragraph text model. I know it was a design decision but, in my opinion, it makes text manipulation more difficult than the classic editor. For example, I highlighted two sentences in Gutenberg and because they were wrapped in two separate blocks I couldn’t format them. That’s a simple example but I just feel it was a lot easier to manipulate text in the Classice editor when paragraphs/lines weren’t trapped in blocks. Also, if I align an image right or left of text it’s locked in place. I can’t move it up or down afterwards. In the Classic editor if I aligned an image and wanted to move it’s position afterwards I could drag and drop it anywhere. I tested this with the default WordPress theme with the same results.

In any case it will be interesting to see how things develop in 2019. Thanks again both for your replies and advice.

Thanks very much for your prompt replies and support. ??

Hi Alexander,

The site hosts online transactions and customer details so I would rather not give ftp details. The checkout plugin folder is called wp-checkout. Users have to be logged in to make a transaction. Is there any way I can exclude this folder from the firewall? I just want CleanTalk to monitor WordPress comments and nothing else. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Pádraig

UPDATE: Tried adding the following exclusions in wp-config, as found in the documentation, but didn’t make any difference.

$cleantalk_url_exclusions = array(‘product’, ‘shop’);

It may have been a cache thing earlier but now, when I set Comments (WordPress, JetPack, WooCommerce) to NO, it works. The only thing I want protected is my Comments section so , given what I’ve posted above, is there any way to exclude the shopping cart from being included in the Spam Firewall? We use the cart for logged in users only.

You can use the Classic Editor plugin
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/classic-editor/
or the Disable Gutenberg plugin
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disable-gutenberg/

Yes, the star rating seems an obvious mistake.
@alimay666 you can log in and edit it at the bottom if this page if you want:

I agree with you completely @herbie888
I have nothing to do with the Disable Gutenberg plugin but it may be a temporary solution, especially for anyone managing a large number of sites, until this ‘bug’ is resolved. If it’s not considered a bug by the developer then at least there’s an alternative option which might be best for some. ??
