JS added in head after update

    I’ve updated the plugin (2.3.7 to 3.0.1) and now I have jQuery, widget.js and the following script between my head tags:

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
	jQuery.get('https://domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php', {
		action: 'update_views_ajax',
		token: 'n',
		id: n					}, function(response){
			if ( console && console.log )
			console.log(response);
	});
});

    It wasn’t there in the previous version, so is this a bug or something new?

    PS: the setting ‘Ajaxify widget’ is already disabled and I don’t use the WPP widget in my theme.

    Hi gates,

    It’s not new. That feature has been present since WPP 2.0.0. It was disabled by default between versions 2.3.0 and 2.3.7.

    The reason why it was enabled again is to prevent bots / spiders from inflating the views count, since most of them can’t run Javascript.

    Thanks for the response. But widget.js is empty. Well, it contains only:

    (function ($) {
	"use strict";
	$(function () {
		// Place your public-facing JavaScript here
	});
}(jQuery));

    So what’s the need for this extra file + HTTP request?

    Ah, you’re correct. That indeed should not be there. It’ll be removed on the next release, thanks for the notice!
