Thanks – that’s great to hear – Very Best Wishes!!

Hi – Great!

Thanks very much, I’ll try it out. Very Best Wishes

Hello again,

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I create not-for-profit UK healthcare websites, so I encounter a lot of categorisation(!) At the moment I’m using the block actually inserted and configured on each page, but I would really like to put it in a global sidebar using the [wpp] shortcode. We are using legacy widgets, and I have used your plugin with great success before – replacing your deprecated widget, with the shortcode instead.

I’d be happy to test your snippets if you’d like.

Best Wishes

Hi

Spoke to our host and you were right, something on security was blocking it in some way, so they have released whatever it was and it’s working fine now. (I found it was strange that the old widget was still working though)

Anyway – many thanks for your help.

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply – I have overwritten wpp.min.js as advised on the post you referenced but it doesn’t seem to have made any difference.

Shown on this URL, in righthand sidebar, near the bottom is Popular Posts (displaying through shortcode) followed by a duplicate, (showing through the widget)

Thank you for your prompt action!

Same for me too – critical error

Hi

Just a follow up on this one.

This issue has been bothering me for a while. We use this plugin on our not-for-profit multisite, and the “passworded” message and the plugin not running/checking has been on-going for a while now. I have kept the plugin installed on 1.3.20, as it seemed to be the last one that worked fine.

I finally got around to asking our hosting dev if he could check it out.

After his intervention the plugin is now running/checking fine with no messages. I thought I would share his findings.


“Basically the plugin is doing http requests on it’s own rather than using the native WP api, and when doing so it’s overriding the request options, which in turn overrides our defaults options which include our proxy settings.”

He added the following at line 201 in accessibility-checker/includes/validate.php




$default_context_opts = array(
// See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/context.http.php.
‘http’ => array(
‘user_agent’ => ‘PHP Accessibility Checker’,
‘follow_location’ => false,
‘proxy’ => ‘tcp://proxy.**********.net:****’,
‘request_fulluri’ => true,
‘verify_peer’ => false,
‘verify_peer_name’ => false,
‘header’ => [“Proxy-Authorization: Basic “.base64_en
code(“****************************.net:”)]
),
“ssl” => array(
“verify_peer” => false,
“verify_peer_name” => false
)
);




Obviously, on plugin updates these changes will be lost and I’ll need to add them back in again, but I thought you may be interested in the code.

Kind Regards

A follow up on this one. Discovered that the Accessibility Checker wasn’t running unless the panel in the Editor was first after the content in the Editor. We had another pane that was coming first (WPCode Lite) that seemed to be preventing A-C running. When these were re-ordered on the page, it ran fine.

The Message about being Passworded remained, but after A-C ran for the first time, the message disappeared, so it’s working now!

Yes, that line of code sorts things!

Aha! Yes, I have got my own version of template-tags, okay I’ll sort that out

Thanks for the info – much appreciated!

Okay:

WP 6.1.1
Tested with all plugins disabled

1) Twenty Twenty-One theme activated
2) Understrap base theme activated (child theme not active theme)

This image shows the results: https://eyecare.org.uk/missing-featured.png

Top half shows with 2021
Bottom half with Understrap 1.2
Righthand dev tools examining sidebar with Understrap 1.2

I can confirm this also – “Featured Image” panel in righthand sidebar (normally in between “Categories” and “Excerpt”) is not present.

Ok, thanks for replying. Kind Regards

Wonderful support! Keep up the good work and thanks!
