4.0.0 changelog + reactions stopped working

    Hi there,

    I downloaded the 4.0.0 release as an update to my premium 3.22.0 version. But all icons stopped working.

    I use the following to display them;

    <?php
if (is_plugin_active('da-reactions-premium/da-reactions.php')) {
    global $post;
    $item_type = $post->post_type;
    $item_id = $post->ID;
    echo '<div class="quick-reactions">';
    echo do_shortcode('[reactions id="' . $item_id . '" type="' . $item_type . '"]');
    echo '</div>';
}

    But also the backend preview stopped working etc.

    So I reverted back to the old 3.22.0 and all was good again.

    As a sidenote I couldn’t also find the update on Codecanyon, https://www.da-reactions-plugin.com/knowledge-base/ but only on Freemius.

    But nowhere can I find any info about the changes to 4.0.0 in any of the places.

    Can you please provide a changelog as to what has changed? And any idea why the 4.0.0 updates has the behavior as explained above?

    Thanks in advance for your reply!

    Thank you for your feedback,

    regarding the changelog, it is missing for some reason, this version has two main features:

    • Integration with WPFORO, a third party Forum plugin;
    • Analytics page with a graph with all reactions by month, day or hour.

    About the bug, I need a couple of days to investigate since I didn’t have any problem during my tests.

    Meanwhile, I have a couple of suggestions for you:

    • Avoid is_plugin_active it is unreliable because the plugin path can change in some cases, it is better to check the existence of a class, a constant or a functon.
    /**
 * The best way to check if da-reactions
 * is installed and active is the following
*/
if (defined('DA_REACTIONS_VERSION')) {
    /// the plugin is running
}

    I’ll try to figure out what is broken in 4.0.0; any help is appreciated, can you tell me anything about your configuration (PHP version, other installed plugins, any error log from the server)?

    Thank you for using my plugin.

    Hi Daniele,

    Thanks for the quick and crystal clear reply ?? Much appreciated for sure!

    Ah nice changes, not using but have used WPFORO in the past. And the Analytic insight about reactions are also great to see.

    When it comes to licenses; I have bought Da Reactions on both Codecanyon and Freemius. So I should be good I guess ??
    But good and clear to know you will be moving away from Envato. But my main things was … I could not find the patch notes on any of the ‘proper’ places. But that has been provided here so all is good ??

    In regard to the issue no harm, it happens every now and again. And can of course be a plethora of thing in the WP cocktail I am using.

    Ok good advice on the check, much appreciated but my frontend check / method should not be working if something was incorrect, but that is why I checked the preview option in /wp-admin/admin.php?page=da-reactions_graphic_settings. But there it also did not render with 4.0.0

    As for additional info sure no prob, let me provide you with all I can share by dm as the site_diag also gives some insight I might not publicly want to share with anyone.

    EDIT: Ah .. I always though the Plugin Directory had such an option. Could you let me know how I can best send you that info?

    Feel free to let me know if you need any additional info!

    Hello Patrick,

    I published version 4.0.3 yesterday, this should solve the problem.

    I added a button to clean the internal plugin cache because the bad behaviour could persist after the update if the cache was active. You’ll find this button as Reactions > General Settings > Performance
