issue if URLs are added to exception list

Resolved

(@harmr)

Hi,

I am the developer of Leaflet Maps Marker and Maps Marker Pro. Your plugin does not work out of the box with mine, so I added it to the compatibility check. If your plugin is active, the users sees an admin notice which asks him to add the following values to your exception list:

mapsmarker.com
leafletjs.com
mapicons.mapsmarker.com
visualead.com
openstreetmap.org
mapquest.com
data.wien.gv.at
stamen.com
creativecommons.org
mapbox.com
thunderforest.com

Anyway sometimes there seem to be an issue (cant offer steps to reproduce it) – anyway after having saved your exclusion list and working on my site again, after some time it seems your list is reset and the following error is displayed in the PHP error log

unserialize(): Error at offset 426 of 460 bytes

 wp-content/plugins/wp-external-links/wp-external-links.php:73
wpel_init()
 wp-content/plugins/wp-external-links/wp-external-links.php:76

Afterwards the exclusion list is empty and has to be added again.
Not sure if this is a general issue of your plugin or caused by my server configuration – just wanted you to know!
best,

Hello Robert,

Very nice that the plugin shows the compatibility notice.

I haven’t seen that PHP error before. Also I installed the Leaflet Maps Marker, but it doesn’t break, even when I haven’t applied the exclude list it does seem to work on my install.

Hi,

there will be an update with the next releases of my plugins for the compatibility check, as you changed the way your exclude list is saved with v2.0 – so currently the admin notice will not disappear.

Anyway the issue I reported was likely to be a temporary server issue – I logged in again on my dev site today and the exception list is still available.

best regards,

Robert

Hello Robert,

Indeed the options have been changed. Thank you for making our plugins compatible!

Robert,

You could also add the attribute data-wpel-link="ignore" to your links (when detecting the WP External Links plugin is installed). Those links will be completely ignored by the plugin.
That way the users don’t have to take any action.

Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,
thanks for the info – I will not change my plugins accordingly, as that would be much more complex than adding a warning with a tutorial on how to fix this.
best,
Robert

OK. I cannot see any conflicts anyway.
WPEL is now ignoring everything in <script> tags, which was probably the solution.
