 * [@dabrolga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabrolga/), true that, hadn’t
   paid attention so that detail. So seems that http: might be the culprit here.
   [@gioni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gioni/), shouldn’t http requests
   be blocked as well?

 * That is the challenge here that these seems spurious and I cannot see any pattern.
   As I said, mostly the REST calls get blocked as should but then there are these
   random occurrences that get passed through incorrectly.

   they are exactly the same size! Only the image nr 6 is different.

 * Hi,
 * Now enabled 6 posts so the second row shows. Note that the last one (nr 6) still
   has an “old” small featured image so don’t care about that one, the problems 
   are related to 4 and 5 (the first two on the second row).
 * As you can see, the small thumbs (1-5) all look great but the big ones (once 
   highlighted) are the ones that cause concern.

 * Sure: [site.](https://sail-in-finland.info/)
 * The TG1 widget now only has the top 3 posts/images set to avoid the usability
   problem caused by the image handling problem.

 * Thanks, this did solve the problem! No need to update the plugin at this time,
   but staging and live are now fixed. But thankful if you include this in your 
   next regular update so it is not lost when updating!

   other than “post” or “product”?

 * Also, on this [page](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/metadata/custom-meta-boxes/),
   what would be the equivalent of your admin page to the ‘wporg_cpt’ screen name?
   Using something more specific instead of the self::$page (or are they the same,
   don’t know codign well enough to know what’s going on here, just a guess).

 * 1) The problem occurs when a vendor edits a product with this plugin: [Vendor plugin](https://yithemes.com/themes/plugins/yith-woocommerce-multi-vendor/),
   not sure if the free version has the same behavior?
 * 2) Just migrated my site to a new hosting which recreated the staging site from
   live which unfortunately means I have full customer info still on that site so
   cannot provide externals access at this time :-(.
 * 3) The plugin did not perform very well 🙂 as you can see from this [screen grab](https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bkvmqrj82yrw4s/failedtoload.JPG?dl=0)
   and this [screen grab 2](https://www.dropbox.com/s/3p0p64f64f2g2n8/failedtoload2.JPG?dl=0).
 * I even tried this for fun:
 *     ```
         public static function add_meta_boxes()
           {        global $wp_settings_sections;	
       		if (is_admin()) {
       ```
   
 * but even this did not prevent the metaboxes from appearing.
 * So is there some way for the Vendor plugin to query what metaboxes might be needed
   to support editing the product and then calls those metaboxes? If yes, why would
   the mcb metaboxes then be identified as something linked to products?

 * I tried to “brute force” the problem:
 *     ```
       function remove_my_post_metaboxes() {
       remove_meta_box( ‘mcb-section-model’,’post’,’side’ ); 
       remove_meta_box( ‘mcb-section-model’,’product’,’side’ ); 
       remove_meta_box( ‘mcb-section-bar’,’post’,’normal’ ); 
       remove_meta_box( ‘mcb-section-bar’,’product’,’normal’ ); 
       }
       add_action(‘add_meta_boxes’,’remove_my_post_metaboxes’,50);
       ```
   
 * but that did not work either.
 * So for some reason, the vendor product page picks up your meta boxes, do you 
   limit the visibility with the add_meta_box() $screen parameter?

 * Hi,
 * Installed a plugin to analyze the capabilities and the Vendor does not have manage_options
   capabilities, just the basics of read, upload_files, edit_posts and some woocommerce
   capabilities.
 * The Mobile contact bar does not show up in the menu, it only appears as the widgets
   when editing a product, the edit url is: wp-admin/post.php?post=xxxx&action=edit
 * The mobile contact bar “widgets” show up in the display settings: [(image here)](https://www.dropbox.com/s/4at591n3ju4htek/mobilecb_error2.JPG?dl=0)
   and the edit page: [(25% page view here)](https://www.dropbox.com/s/qrlts6gilk02wd3/mobilecb_error.JPG?dl=0)
   in the product edit page.
 * Is it possible that the menu item is controlled by the capability but the Vendor
   plugin somehow “rounds up available widgets” and they are not controlled/limited
   by the capability?
