Where are the plugin’s settings? I can’t find a page for it on the dashboard menus.

Following up on my own topic, I found that the ‘administrator’ role is hard-coded in. Since this one hasn’t been updated in many years, I don’t expect any future update to add flexibility. For my own use I cloned the plugin and modified the lib/controller.php file. Lines 5-28 were all in the form of

	add_submenu_page( MF_PLUGIN_NAME, 'Social Share', '<i class="fa fa-share"></i> Social Share', 'administrator', 'social-share', 'social_share' );

I changed each of them to:

	add_submenu_page( MF_PLUGIN_NAME, 'Social Share', '<i class="fa fa-share"></i> Social Share', 'editor', 'social-share', 'social_share' );

With that, everything for site editors worked as it should. Of course, you can change that role or privilege to whatever, but this was enough to solve my own specific problem.

Looks good, thanks!

I have two multi-user sites that are running both plugins. I disabled User Role Editor in one of them, but it didn’t make any difference. I still saw the Set New Password button.

I’m using “User Role Editor,” https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-role-editor/ , to create custom permission sets.

Sorry for the delayed response, but in answer to the question:

I reset my password in the profile page, using the recommended strong password.

When I logged out and tried to log back in with the new password, it failed; when I entered the original (Active Directory) password it succeeded. So it doesn’t appear to be bypassing directory authentication

wpDirAuthFlag is definitely set to one. I wonder if there’s another plugin stepping on this. I’ll look around and see what I have activated.

I’m running this on two multisite blogs, and I get the same problem with both of them. The simpler one has only a dozen or so network-activated plugins.

So I tried de-activating everything. First all the network-activated plugins (except for this one); then all the activated plugins on the home blog. I still see the reset-password button.

0.8.27 seems to have fixed the problem.

If you’re inclined to futz with the code, it’s in /quotes-and-tips/quotes-and-tips.php, at line 474:

Change

<i>"' . get_the_content() . '"</i>

to

<i>' . get_the_content() . '</i>

To strip out the double-quotes.

I switched over to a different plugin (Smash Balloon’s), and it started working again.

I tested it again just now:

1. De-activate Smash Balloon
2. Activate Spotlight
3. Refresh page

Error messages appear. Then:

1. De-activate Spotlight
2. Activate Smash Balloon
3. Refresh page

It all works again.

Spotlight had been working fine for months, it just all of a sudden broke earlier this week. I didn’t change any of the /Instagram Feed blocks on the page when I activated Smash Balloon, they just worked.

I was running 7.3, and upgraded to 7.4.15. Then installed the latest zero spam (5.0.1, previously using 5.0) and everything works now. I don’t know if it was the PHP version or whatever changed in 5.0.1.

I can vouch for this too. On many of my sites the plugin disabled itself, allowing spam comments to flow in. I believe they’re coming from bots because the IPs track back to the usual assortment of Russian server farms, Ukrainian ISPs, and Maltese mobile phone companies.

I’m not getting it on form submissions, just comment spam. My WP is up-to-date, and I’ve been successively installing each update to the WordPress Zero Spam plugin (3.1.1, to 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.3.3, 4.3.6, 4.3.9, 4.3.10, and 4.4.0 in the last week) as they come out.

Some of the offending IPs:
62.149.29.51
188.32.128.29
85.208.86.150
86.174.91.191
27.97.8.166
46.11.9.46
178.175.142.134

With WP updated to 5.4.1 it seems to be working again.

This wasn’t a problem when I first installed it, but now that I’m trying to renew my certs it’s not working because of this error.

I tried “The Events Calendar,” but you have to get the pro version to do recurring events. I also looked at “Events Manager.” It seems to be a fork of Events Made Easy, which I’ve been using successfully for a long time. But as Alison points out above it takes a good amount of customization of CSS and manipulation of the plug-in’s built-in placeholders and logic to get a decent result.

I also tried “My Calendar,” which had a UI that was too confusing to turn loose on the folks that use my installation.

I’ve finally settled on “Modern Events Calendar.” It looks like it will be easy for my people to set it up and work with it. All my sub-sites that were using AIOEC have been switched, and we’ll see how it goes.
