Error with Facebook sdk

    Thanks for this useful plugin, some issues I noticed:

    Using “Scan Website” results in: “Does not compute! GDPRess Bot experienced issues while scanning the website …“

    Also sometimes (rarely, not always) the following message appears as a WordPress dashboard message (id=message, class=notice notice-error is-dismissable”): “Gdpress encountered an error while downloading sdk.js?ver=1.11.0: The checksum of the file (a0acd6b852f3c1b1d8124ae81a722cd9) does not match the expected checksum value (6f9b806bdbef13d85fcd02d8073dce52).“

    Seems to be related to two queries:
    GET
    https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js?ver=1.11.0
    https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js?hash=a1c8bd38a5d0c907d25506ed5c7c0537

    These are just examples! The actual hashes change depending on which article/page of the website is visited.

    Blocking the query seems to work regardless of the issue, which is fine by me since I don’t need the script anyway. However perhaps you could look into it? Generally some setting to let users choose whether they want to host a script locally or just block it, would be useful.

    A setting to disable error messages generated by this plugin in WordPress dashboard would be appreciated.

    Also consider the following: Activation status of “Test Mode” can not be changed when above error appears, since there is no “save” button. Expected behaviour: “Test Mode” should be changeable regardless.

    There’s the exclude option? Is that what you’re looking for? Or do you mean block it from loading? (That’s an interesting feature regardless :-))

    GDPRess is in need of serious code updates. I’ll look into it. Thanks.

    In my ideal world there should be three options:
    a: Block script from external source but host it locally
    b: Block script entirely (block external source, don’t host it locally)
    c: Exclude (get files from external source as normal)

    I love this! Thanks for the feedback!

    a. is what GDPRess does by default,
    b. is a neat feature and will definitely be added in a future release!
    c. is already implemented, but will need some revising after implementing b.

    Thanks again!
