Directly modifying code is never a good idea, next update and it’s all gone. If I rename the plugin to avoid updates, then the code may miss important updates.
Since I’m not a programmer, there is a good chance I would break something or compromise the security of the website.
This is why I ask the developer if there is already an option/possibility or for a feature request or have them provide a hook/filter that might do the trick.
Also the plugin editor in my WP sites has been disabled for security reasons.
If there are different modules ‘Blocks’, then it should be real easy for the developer to just create an extra footer block and add it to the plugin package, no?
Exclude admin email, this sounds like a feature that many admins would like for their sites. If not having this feature in the base plug-in (which would be very awesome), this might be something to add to the value of your ‘pro’ version or as a one-time payment add-on (exclude other emails too).
If going the paid route, I personally rather have it as a one-time payment add-on, I don’t think this would be something that would need constant updates or support.
Thank you for the quick response.
However, it sounds like the only option is to copy and modify the plugin. This is what I really wanted to avoid, even though technically I’m not modifying the original plugin, the modified version would not be updated if there were future security patches, etc.
I was hoping for a way to do this using a filter (functions.php).
Having ‘Post Tags’ in the right place would be nice to have, however not critical. I guess (to satisfy my OCD) I could always disable that field if it bothers me too much.
Thanks again for the plugin and support, hopefully, you will consider this as an option in the future.
Ver 2.X also broke my site, where can I get the previous version so I can get into my WP admin?
Hurray! It’s working again, thanks.
However I would like to know what caused the issue? Was it a problem with the update or something else (ex: Facebook changed something)?
Just bad timing, I just started a promo for one of my multi-sites that required visitors to login using the AccessPress Social Login Lite plugin, then this issue happened.
I guess that it’s my fault for not making a back up to revert to before updating the plugin (I have many sites that use your plugins and many others). However it would be nice to have a link on your site to the previous version just in case an update does not work (become broken) on some sites.

In reply to: [WPAdverts - Classifieds Plugin] Username/preregistration?I used another plugin to present the post ad and manage ad pages/content only when the user is logged in.
So this post is more of a suggestion then a support issue. Having site admin the option of choosing if a user can create an account at ad post (like it is now) or require registration/login first would be something to consider for your next plugin update.
Also creating an add-on that allows users post an ad anonymously (have a pass code to manage/edit ad with no user account needed) would be a cool too.
I use this plugin on a few sites now (even replaced other ‘classifieds’ plugins with this one) so thanks again for the great plugin.

In reply to: [WPAdverts - Classifieds Plugin] contact form snippetThat was one of the first things I tried, however I think that was before I discovered the “BBC vs BCC” error. I guess that is why it did not work then.
I commented out that line and fixed the BCC issue, however when I do that the contact form pauses for a few seconds when you press [ Send Message ] button. The form submission is normally instant? (however does work)
If I don’t comment out/remove that line the form submission is instant again? However then the AD contact doesn’t get the message.

In reply to: [WPAdverts - Classifieds Plugin] contact form snippetSorry for the barrage of questions, it was a late night and wondered how this snippet had gone unnoticed for so long this way (thought there was a reason I missed).
Anyway, the one and only question that I really need answered is:
How do I change the $mail[“to”] to send to the ad author or better yet contact email for the ad?
Thanks for the great plugin and your help.
BTW: I’m not a programmer/coder nor do I play one on TV.

In reply to: [WPAdverts - Classifieds Plugin] Where are the URL comming from?Thank you for your help, however to fix the URL issue I used ‘Theme My Login’ plugin.
I may use the above snippet to customize the outgoing email later on.
Again appreciate your response to this thread.

In reply to: [WPAdverts - Classifieds Plugin] Where are the URL comming from?How do I use this? Do I just copy it to the plugin folder and activate it as a separate plugin or do I copy it to your plugin folder and activate it as an add-on?

In reply to: [Simple Access Control] SAC breaks theme customizeStill waiting for that fix? My error logs are getting too big and I can’t be manually flushing these logs all the time.
Please create a minor update or something to stop filling up the error log and all my sites that have this plugin. At least make an option to turn it off.
Any updates on Ultimate Member using WordPress roles?
10 Months and my site is still broken, unable to register ‘paid’ membership without manual intervention. My clients want instant access to their paid membership (and they should), not wait until I get home, read the emails, then hunt down their user account and then manually update their community role to match their WordPress role. I can’t be at my computer every day.
Ultimate Member is an awesome plugin, however as awesome it is I can’t be hand holding it every time someone upgrades their membership. Using WP roles is essential and required for this type of plugin.
Woo Commerce is too complex and bloated for my needs (don’t need Jet Pack, Woo Commerce account/services, product management or all the other junk that comes with it).
Please, PLEASE role out WP roles for Ultimate Member ASAP!

In reply to: Setting WP default email senderNow we gone full circle…
Re: “Why must we have to use a plugin or add filters to the functions.php file or edit the pluggable.php file to fix this”
We should not have to do all that. Plugins add up fast and should only be used to enhance or add functionality, not fix short comings. Having to create filters or alter code can have adverse effects on the site performance/security if not outright break it due to a mistake, WordPress should not need ‘patching’ out of the box regardless what the plans are for the install.
Even if the install is not for “multiple users nor a need to email anyone but themselves” the site admin still needs to be able to receive messages from their site. Again many people that are installing a basic minimal WordPress site are likely not going to be aware about this issue and assume that all is quiet at their site when it really not. Worse their domain/IP may get marked as a spam source because they are unaware that blocked messages are being sent out from their site.
