Just took your update on Google Analytics by MonsterInsights. All the issues have been nicely addressed – thank you. Just noticed that I had another Update and when I checked I apparently have New Translations available. I’ve never seen that before. My reading suggests that Translations are automatically updated. Strange. Is that a side effect of the earlier update?
I only use GA by Yoast on one site. What a shock! What were you thinking inserting an advertisement into the admin menu? Didn’t you think how people would react to having an unexpected item suddenly appear in their admin menu?
As for me, it sent me into a frenzy of checking if the site had been hacked or if one of my admin team had decided to install a new plugin without discussing/notifying me. Now I’m faced with letting them all know that it was just unexpected spam and that we have no way to stop it. From what I read, even deleting the plugin wont get rid of it. Shame on the WP team for permitting this intrusive type of advertising.
I don’t think we’ll be using GA by Yoast much longer. I know at least one plugin out there that achieves at least as much and they don’t spew unwanted and unexpected items in my menu. Good luck with your clumsy ad campaign.

In reply to: [Calendar] Current month not being selected on defaultYour new release 1.3.7 has fixed the default month/year problem in the full calendar display. Thank you.
No new issues detected.
I must confess I always tweak your code a little to suit my preferences. I have a short “wish list” if you are amenable. Let me know. I realise you do this for free which is much appreciated so no pressure. I’m happy to keep tweaking.
Perfect! Problem is solved by turning off that option of the theme.

In reply to: [Redirection] I've discovered why some redirects won't workYep. I just tried and it did not redirect. I’m no expert on this plugin but I can suggest two things:
1- Check for spurious invisible characters being added to the end of your URLs (which was what both @aand and I experienced using Copy/Paste. You may need a Notepad or similar low level editor to Copy/Paste into first and then take it from there instead of your browser’s address bar. In my case I actually typed the URL manually to make sure there wasn’t anything hidden at the end.
2- Remove the domain completely in the FROM field. Start from the last “slash”. That’s what I did and it worked. Of course you will need the full URL on the TO field.
No doubt you’ve already made sure that you’ve picked the correct option on the “Match” and “Action” field. Your example is pretty straightforward so I can’t see how it isn’t working. Good luck.
PS. You may want to start a new post to get the attention of the plugin author or any of his/her “watchers”.
I’ve updated to 1.3.1 and tested again. All working perfectly. How good is that! Thanks again.
Solution #3 worked perfectly too. No errors. Updated perfectly. Tested perfectly. Back to you now.
Solution #2 worked perfectly too. No errors. Updated perfectly. Tested perfectly. Will try #3 now.
Solution #1 worked perfectly. No errors. Updated perfectly. Tested perfectly. Will try the other two solutions now.
Weird. I just checked that the code that I used was correct. When I compared the code I got from the email to the code in your post, they were different! I had used the one from the email so I decided to copy and paste the code from the post and try it again. Failed again but different error this time:
Fatal error: Class name must be a valid object or a string in /home/content/06/7129406/html/wp-content/plugins/popup-maker/includes/class-popmake-fields.php on line 23Weird.
Made the change to get_called_class () in misc-functions.php as you suggested/provided then tried updating one popup. Got a fatal error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting ']' in /home/content/06/7129406/html/wp-content/plugins/popup-maker/includes/misc-functions.php on line 21This disabled my access to admin page completely so reverted to original code and all ok now. Of course it now generates the 4 errors I mentioned earlier.
I must confess changing PHP in situ is not my strong suit so perhaps I fouled things up. Happy to take advice and try it again if that’s useful to you.

In reply to: [Really Simple CAPTCHA] Not protecting against bot abuseThanks for the suggestions. I got a reply from the author of Contact 7 plugin on how to use akismet on some of the fields on the form. Here’s the documentation:

It worked perfectly and blocked the bad bot. Thanks for the tip on the other 2 plugins. I’ll check them out.
