 * Please ignore this support request.
 * I’m terribly sorry. I have raised this issue with the incorrect plugin author.

 * Thanks for your response. Version = 3.8.4
 * I’m fairly certain that it is the logo showcase plugin causing the issues; for
   example if you run [https://demo.essentialplugin.com/logo-slider-plugin-demo/](https://demo.essentialplugin.com/logo-slider-plugin-demo/)
   through [https://pagespeed.web.dev/](https://pagespeed.web.dev/) you’ll see the
   same accessibility issues. Furthermore [https://pagespeed.web.dev/](https://pagespeed.web.dev/)
   identifies outputs by the plugin (such as the slider) arrows as causing the issues.
 * Thanks.

   From WordPress Plugin Guidelines ([https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/)):“
   _Constant nags and overwhelming the admin dashboard with unnecessary alerts detract
   from this experience_“. Perhaps it’s worth complaining to the WordPress team 
   itself so they can assess whether this plugin is breeching the guidelines …

 * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-orientation-wrong-on-mobile-device-2/#post-11229420)
 * Unfortunately this issue (photos taken with iOS displaying with incorrect orientation)
   has been around for many years (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298619](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298619)).
   This is not just an issue with iOS however lot’s of people use iOS therefore 
   the problem is particularly noticeable with iOS photos. The problem really should
   be fixed at source i.e. Apple should adhere to best practice in how image rotation
   is stored. NextGEN Gallery Plugin could implement workarounds however perhaps
   pressure should be put on Apple to resolve the issue at source.

 * Same with me. In addition, the messages e.g. “GZIP Compression Enabled” appear
   to the right of the screen and I can’t get rid of them either.

 * Hi Ian,
    In particular, in MailChimp, all ‘Content Blocks’ are visible in a column
   to the right of the ‘page builder’. When a block is in focus then all options
   for that specific content block are available. This means that the content is
   create in one place (left of the screen) and all options are to the right of 
   the screen.
 * I battle in Gutenberg where, when the content block is in focus, some options
   are above the content block, some are in the right column and some are to the
   immediate right of the selected content block (i.e. I’d prefer that all options
   are in one place).
    Also, to add a content block in Gutenberg either a block 
   can be created from the + to the left bottom of a content block or there is the
   option to add a content block from the content block selector to the bottom right
   of the active content block.
 * I feel there are too many places to do things in Gutenberg and too many clicks
   to achieve things.

 * Perhaps the minimum 350px by 200px requirement could be made more noticeable.
   I’ve used related images for years and have only recently started to notice that
   some images don’t show in the related posts section. I have never before noticed
   the 350 x 200 minimum requirement.
    I also notice that at [https://jetpack.com/support/related-posts/](https://jetpack.com/support/related-posts/)
   the word _resize_ is used in relation to the 350px wide by 200px tall requirement
   but there is no mention that these are also the minimum dimensions. I just think
   that fewer people will have this issue if the requirement is more noticeable 
   🙂

 * Not sure about NGINX but I’ve had problems with Apache/PHP 7.x. and WP Super 
   Cache (CSS and some other resources not loading). Once I’ve gone back to Apache/
   PHP 5.6.x then I was able to use WP Super Cache again without the resource issues.

 * [@connecter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/connecter/), you mention _For
   the security i prefer using a cloud instead of a Cache plugin_ … I use WP Super
   Cache with CloudFlare on many sites and find it very effective using the combination
   of this plugin and the security/performance improvements of CloudFlare.

 * Same problem. I’m able to view the feed in a browser and the feed validates at
   [http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi](http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi)
   but Feedburner returns error 400 and Feedly isn’t able to read the feed.
    This
   is driving me nuts! I think I’ll go the same route as you @RobertHarm and use
   Yahoo Pipes.
