I wondered if perhaps a mixture of hashes and nonces wouldn’t work. I’ve tried it again today and now it works!! I must have made a mistake somewhere in my pasting. * So relieved :-).

The only place wp-*.php appears is in the speculation rules script that loads since WP 6.8. * Excluding those paths in robots would be a request to not crawl any of those locations. In other words, “don’t crawl my site”. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[iQ Block Country] PHP Deprecated V1.2.26](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-deprecated-v1-2-26/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-deprecated-v1-2-26/#post-18610876) * Any chance of an update please? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[iQ Block Country] PHP Deprecated V1.2.26](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-deprecated-v1-2-26/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [11 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-deprecated-v1-2-26/#post-18592650) * Yes it’s 157.15.90.216.

I think that when the post status is private, the post is considered non-existent for a logged out user and logically you can’t fetch the post type for a non-existent post. * Working with private posts in wordpress is cumbersome! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Question about template_redirect hook](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-template_redirect-hook/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-template_redirect-hook/#post-18400650) * [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) Thanks for your suggestions. Am using paths, private browser produced same result and is_user_logged_in() returns correct status on 404 page. * Have been trying out a few more things and managed to solve it by updating my template_redirect hook to redirect if is_404(), user not logged in and the requested post exists. Narrowing it down any further (to specific custom post types, for example) returns the unwanted 404 again. * This is as close as I can get to what I was trying to achieve so am closing thread. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Weather Atlas Widget] Undefined Variable Error (Version 3.0)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-variable-error-version-3-0/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-variable-error-version-3-0/#post-17735896) * [@quantum-leap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quantum-leap/) This isn’t the first time the developer/s have released a version containing basic coding errors and I doubt it will be the last. I got fed up of waiting for them to acknowledge the issue when I reported it let alone put it right and have now removed the plugin from my site. But thanks to you for sharing the solution. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Weather Atlas Widget] Latest Release (V2.0.1)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/#post-17244215) * That’s good news * I’m closing this ticket now; if anyone else continues to have any issues, please open a fresh ticket. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Weather Atlas Widget] Latest Release (V2.0.1)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/#post-17242111) * So, I’ve checked the content of the options field and mine looks like this:- * `a:1:{s:12:"_multiwidget";i:1;}` * I’m not displaying mine as a widget, I’ve just put the shortcode in the editor in WP Admin. * It occurred to me that there might be an incomplete div tag somewhere so I had a look at your PHP files. One thing struck me: on most of them your HTML is preceded by a closing PHP tag and then you PHP echo values within your HTML. For example, like this:- * `` * In the file weather-atlas.php, however, you echo your HTML within your PHP. For example, like this:- * ` echo "
"; echo do_shortcode( '[shortcode- weather-atlas selected_widget_id=' . $widget_id . ']' ); echo "
"; * Personally, I like a consistent approach but it’s not my plugin and it shouldn’t affect the output. What is probably more of a problem though is that the opening PHP tag on Line 49 is incomplete; it reads `” is missing somewhere too. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Weather Atlas Widget] Latest Release (V2.0.1)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/#post-17237471) * Thanks for altering the SQL queries. My settings page is still OK now since I de-activated and re-activated other plugins & theme. Don’t know why that would make a difference. I’ve not had a problem with the shortcode output not showing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Weather Atlas Widget] Latest Release (V2.0.1)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/#post-17231419) * This piece of code which appears in at least 3 of the plugin’s files (eg: line 52 in weather-atlas/admin/weather-atlas.php) doesn’t use a WP wordpress function:- ` $widget_options = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->options} WHERE option_name LIKE 'weather_atlas_widget_%'" );` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Weather Atlas Widget] Latest Release (V2.0.1)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-release-v2-0-1/#post-17230437) * So, I took a backup, deactivated all plugins (except yours) & my theme, installed& activated default 2023 theme; no change in Settings. When I re-installed my backup, however, the Settings page is now fine! * What I would like clarification on though please is why you’re not using $wpdb- >prepare for the SQL query that fetches the content for the Settings page. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Easy WP SMTP – WordPress SMTP and Email Logs: Gmail SMTP, Office 365, Outlook, Custom SMTP, and more] Bad update :(](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-54/) * [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-54/#post-16472202) * totally agree – got a few other issues too (see separate ticket) * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Authenticate Filter](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authenticate-filter-2/) * Thread Starter [farnely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farnely/) * (@farnely) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authenticate-filter-2/#post-16377842) * OK thank you; I’ll reconsider my approach.
