Stupid argument that people less knowledgable keep bringing up. No solutions because there is no problem. The whole world knows the directory name but that is not how anyone gets in. I have setup WP literally over a thousand times. The only one that got hacked into was because the owner used a simple password. It is well documented here on how to harden your site. But go ahead and waste your time…

Looks like one of those theme codes that report back. Get rid of the theme.

I just submitted it manually and there was no issue.

If you do not send to the database, then get_option won’t work because it reads from the db. As you were told you need to use update_option to save the “yes” to the db. If you do not save it then when they click off the page there is no “yes”. Or where do you expect it to be stored? Especially as you do not specify an action in the form.
How about something like this for your form function:

$google_subscribe = get_option('google_subscribe_form');
<form method="post">
<label for="google_subscribe_form">yes or no:
<input type="text" name="google_subscribe_form" value="<?=$google_subscribe_form?>" />
  </label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Then you can use something like this:

function WHATEVER
if (get_option("google_subscribe_form") == no){
if(function_exists('add_google_subscribe_form'))
add_google_subscribe_form();
}

This is quick and kind of off the top of my head. But generally speaking is a better direction I think.

Why not make it a template?

I tried helping someone else today with this plugin. Have to make quite a bit coding changes to things to come up and it still does not work completly. Also if you notice you end up with his “Powered by” link on every page of your site.

I use Hostgator for a lot of my clients. Their shared servers are pretty beefy. They don’t disable your site for visitors but maybe CPU? In which case what you should be doing is SSH into your server and run top. You may find a specific process causing your problem and not your site in general.
But I do agree that you probably belong on a dedicated server.

How to remove the text in the footer?
Remove the footer text is easy, you just have to give us a $10 coffee here and then write to info@wp-copyrightpro.com.

This is the second one today that seems to violate the plugin rules on here:

4.The plugin must not embed external links on the public site (like a “powered by” link) without explicitly asking the user’s permission.
