Bug report: Console errors on admin dashboard

Hi @doffine,

first, we are sorry for this.

above you mention the plugin name ‘YouTube WordPress plugin’ but this plugin name is ‘Html5 Video Player’

are you sure, you are talking about this plugin? in the free version of this plugin, no youtube feature is available.

and last our plugin does not create a connection with ‘facebook.net, newrelic.com, stripe.com, cloudflareinsights.com, google-analytics.com, google.com, googletagmanager.com, gstatic.com and at least again paypal.com.’

this plugin only creates a connection with gumroad.com

Thank you

Hi,

maybe you are talking about another plugin.

I am closing this topic for now.

Thank you

Hello @shehabulislam,

two times sorry: 1) I didn’t get an email to your first response, so I couldn’t react in time. 2) It was my fault to write about a “YouTube WordPress plugin”. I’m just the technician here, not the one using this plugin. But, indeed, I meant your plugin – no other.

So I have to substantiate that your plugin causes some problems. That is completely reproducible.

If you don’t believe, please just go to wpsandbox.net, get you a fresh WP installation and just install + activate your plugin – nothing else.

(At least) in the admin dashboard…

1) …you will find several JavaScript console errors having something to do with paypal.com – I think it has got something to do with your dashboard widget.

2) …you will find many external connections. Also take a look with Firefox in the external connections (F12 > Debugger > Sources), not only with Chrome.

3) As long as your plugin is active installing a theme manually from a ZIP file doesn’t work, since in “Appearance” > “Add new” the “Upload Theme” button on the top doesn’t work / is no more clickable. As soon as we deactivate your plugin this button works again.

So I revoked the mark as “resolved” of this thread for now.

Please try the above on your own.

Hi @doffine

I am sorry but still, I am confused. would you please give me the plugin exact name or the plugin slug?

Thank you

Hello @shehabulislam,

no problem.

The exact name of the plugin I install is “Html5 Video Player – mp4 player, Video Player for WordPress”. I guess the slug is “html5-video-player” – at least that’s the plugin’s folder name.

It is really not difficult to reproduce the bugs I stated above. It costs only a few clicks.

1. Surf to wpsandbox.net
2. Click on “Create test site”.
3. Wait some seconds and log in there.
4. Then you install and activate nothing but your plugin.
5. Activate your browser’s JS console.
6. Get back to admin dashboard and, to be safe, reload it one time.
7. You’ll see the JS errors related to paypal.com addresses.

If you want to see more…
Also on the dashboard: Take then a look with Firefox and Chrome in the external sources where connections are made to. There are a lot. As soon as you deactivate your plugin they are all gone.

And if you want to see even a clear bug…
Go to “Appearance” > “Add new” and you will see that the “Upload Theme” button doesn’t work as long as your plugin is activated.

Hello @doffine,

Thanks for your time. it was from gumroad. we removed and also fixed the theme upload issue.

Hello @shehabulislam,

well done – after the current update all problems are gone.
Just the current changelog is missing in the ZIP and here on www.remarpro.com.

Thank you for your work and the nice plugin,
