    To answer my own question, so far what I did was take the responsive styling from the plugin CSS and added to the page and single templates in my custom child theme:

    <style>
    #vsel .vsel-meta {width:100%; clear:both;}
    #vsel .vsel-image-info {width:100%; clear:both; float:left;}
    </style>

    If you have any better suggestions, please let me know!

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link. I didn’t check “not working” posts b/c I knew it was actually working, even if I didn’t like it.

    I tried the CSS code included and the header image size was consistent between home page and back pages, but the site title and description were aligned-top and not bottom.

    I have monkeyed with that for long enough and cannot figure out how to anchor that back to the bottom? Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Well, thanks then for just dismissing my concern and not helping me understand.

    “I don’t see the concern” isn’t really an adequate or even polite explanation.

    I personally do not consider an RSS feed and and API to be equivalent but I don’t feel like arguing about it either.

    The API documentation is not updated to include the fact that the API is part of the core in 4.7, and not a plugin anymore, so it’s actually more confusing than helpful.

    But, I guess I will just wait for the API documentation to hopefully be updated and you can please just close this ticket.

    Thanks for your responses.

    @anevins: The authentication article link ( http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/ ), to me seems to describe how to authenticate your app to a wordpress installation, not how to institute API authentication on your wordpress installation, in order to control who is accessing the API

    My main concern:

    The API /posts and /pages endpoints allow a download of everything in one, nice neat JSON package than can be ported anywhere for anything.

    This is very different from having to crawl through an entire website page by page to access the content. I realize that this can be done anyway, but the REST API seems to be giving greater ease of access the data in a format that is very easily portable.

    I’m not as fussed about the usernames individually, that was mainly an example, and I appreciate you clearing up that usernames are considered “public information” by WordPress. That is very illuminating.

    I am mainly concerned about whether I have any control over who is accessing the API endpoints for my website. Right now, it appears to be “everyone”.

    Hello,

    I was able to change the icon used in the embedded post by using the Site Icon in the Customizer. (Appearance > Customize > Site Identity). According to the instructions there, the image you use should be square and 512×512. I would personally recommend keeping it very simply so that it can scale down to 16×16 and still look like the object you use for your “site identity”

    There isn’t a lot of ‘how to’ on this site, yet, but you can use the following hooks to also customize the way that the embed looks:

    embed_head
    embed_footer

    New Embeds Feature in WordPress 4.4

    It looks like there are more hooks and filters in the core file that you can take advantage of in your theme or plugin:

    Hope that helps!

    Excellent! yeah, it’s one of those things we all do … glad that was helpful!! Thanks for responding so quickly. This plugin is a lifesaver!

    Hi again,

    Thanks for your quick response. It turns out that it may not be a multisite issue … I realized that the multisite installation is on a different server than the stand-alone installation I tried and that one has Imagick and the other does not.

    A little birdie told me that it really is the that the variable $imageOrientation in the Imagick section (conditional) is not defined and that if you replace the variable name with the value 1 on line 238, everything works.

    So, I tried it and it did work … if you have a chance to do a quick bug fix, it looks like the $imageOrientation variable on line 238 just needs to be defined, or replaced with “1”, whichever makes sense for your algorithm/programming.

    I hope that this helps! I really appreciate that you developed this plugin and that for the most part if works and is really useful.

    Thanks!!

    When I disabled all other plugins, the issue was still happening and I got an on-screen error message of “Error image.jpg An Error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.”

    The photo that did not need to be rotated (eg: no exif or was oriented “correctly”) uploaded fine.

    Here is what I found in my error logs:

    [15-Jul-2015 15:22:20 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9792 bytes) in /home/myaccount/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/image-rotation-fixer/image-rotation-fixer.php on line 78

    There was the same fatal error message for lines 68 & 85 as well, which are the lines that correspond to actually rotating the images in the switch

    I think I have already allocated plenty of memory to wordpress … and based on similar support posts, it seems this is an issue for more than just me, especially since some folks do not have access to change their memory allocation.

    I am wondering if this is a PHP issue where the memory needs to be allocated first before calling the image rotate function?

    Anyway, hope that helps. Would love to see this plugin working again. Thanks!

    I totally agree; I think the WordFence team perhaps just has not had to deal with their own locked out message or the general public who get confused by it. I ended up raising the number of attempts allowed just so that people wouldn’t get that page as often; which sort of defeats the whole point, but I’ve got enough customer support as it is.

    Obviously, with WordFence working hard to keep our websites and the Internet in general safe, people are going to encounter that screen and they should be encountering a version of it that makes sense for the website that they are interacting with; foreign language translation is an essential part of the WordPress community.

    If you do customize that page successfully, please consider offering your translation to the WordFence team. Translation for plugins tends to be a “community effort” since plugin developers, like most people, are not usually fluent in more than 2 or 3 languages.

    … and it will signal that successful communication with our website members is also an important security consideration.

    Just the usual reasons: when a new version of WordFence is upgraded, your changes could get overwritten, so keep a backup locally and be prepared to re-do the changes at every upgrade / WordFence release.

    Also, WordFence will tag it as a security alert that it is changed from the official version in the WP Plugin repository, but I suppose you could tell WordFence to ignore it as long as you check that it is just your changes.

    I don’t know if WordFence would have any other issues with you changing that file … if you have a sandbox or non-production / non-live site, you could try it and see how it goes … if you keep a copy of the original file, the worst you would have to do is re-upload the original file via FTP to restore everything (so, probably also backup everything, files, database, JIC)

    It seems like it really would not be that difficult to add a filter hook, and/or make it a replaceable function (as in theme functions).

    WordFence may claim that they don’t have time, but they added A LOT of other dashboard bells and whistles (that broke SSL, exposed private logins to everyone) and that aren’t as useful as a clearly defined lockout message that is specifically targeted for the audience of the website would be. IMO, anyway.

    That would be appreciated, especially because my hack above did not appear to work after all.

    If you have your own plugin or know how to use your theme’s functions.php file, this line appears to have worked for me. I used it in a custom plugin I use with WP Multisite.

    remove_action('wordfence_email_activity_report', array('wfActivityReport', 'executeCronJob'));

    This will remove all activity report email, so if WordFence fixes this issue, you may want to remove this line of code later on, if you do eventually want to receive some activity reports.

    I have not tested this on any other sites but my one sandbox and my one production site, so please use “at your own risk.”

    HTH
