Remove word “nonce” from error messages
-
We have received a few reports from our users complaining about the word “nonce” being used in certain error messages. In the UK, that is a very offensive slang word for pedophile as you can see here:

Please provide an update for the plug-in that removes this word from the various error messages where it’s included today. Thanks.

Hi @venturemob,
nonce is a very common word in programming and stands for “number used once”. More resources about this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_nonceI did not know that it’s an offensive word in British slang. I’ll rename the error msg with the next update. In the meantime you can rename it yourself with translations plugin such as Loco translate. If you are getting such an error msg, also check out under Troubleshooting in the documentation to see how to fix the issue.
Regards,
Blaz
