Non JSON content breaks JavaScript resulting in syntax error

    On my web-based application, it adds a tag to the calculation pages:
    <!– Really Simple SSL mixed content fixer active –>
    This is not JSON content and therefore breaks the JavaScript resulting in the error:
    SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token ‘<‘
    Is it possible to remove this TAG? When plugin is disabled, there is no problem.
    To see the error yourself. Please go to https://www.tophand.co.uk/join-us. Please use one of the free options to login and you’ll see the web based application. Enter 100 for Bet, 8 for Price and 5 for New price. Hit calculate and you’ll see the error.
    Please could you assist?
    Thanks.

    In the next update a filter will added for this purpose. For now, in the class-frontend.php, search for the comment, and comment it out.

    I commented this out

    $buffer = "<!-- Really Simple SSL mixed content fixer active -->".$buffer;

    return $buffer;
  }

    But then website doesn’t load, it seems to have other implications. Is there anything else I need to do?
    Thanks.

    Change:

    $buffer = "<!-- Really Simple SSL mixed content fixer active -->".$buffer;
return $buffer;

    Into

    //$buffer = "<!-- Really Simple SSL mixed content fixer active -->".$buffer;
return $buffer;

    The buffer should be returned.

    That buffer return was missing, all is working. Thanks very much.

    If you want to remove this comment is a way compatible with future updates, I’ve added an instruction how to do this with the filter I’ll be adding. That way, you won’t have to do anything on the next update:

    Thanks. I tried this suggestion but my website didn’t load. I will go back to the tactical fix to comment out buffer for now.

    You are right, there was an error in the code. I’ve updated it, it’s the tested code now.
