Options not being saved

    No options are being saved. Not IP exclusions or changes to any setup options. The interface says “WassUp 1.9: Nothing to do!”.
    I’ve removed and reinstalled the plugin, reset to default, and even restarted the server.
    Thanks for any help.

    Wassup 1.9 requires that you have the administrator capability ‘manage_options’ in order to update settings under Wassup-Options.
    Please check that you are logged in under an account with that administrator privilege.
    If you are already admin, try logging out of WordPress and then log back in to refresh your account roles and capabilities, then go to Wassup-Options and try update settings again.
    If that still doesn’t work, please post here whether you have a multisite setup and what scheme your site uses, secure ‘https://’ or regular ‘https://’.

    Thank you!
    I’ve narrowed it down to a browser plugin though I’m not sure which one. I used a different browser and the options save like they should.

    Can you tell us what browser caused the problem and what plugins were installed in that browser? We need to know this so that we can isolate the problem and add a fix/workaround for future versions of Wassup. Thanks.

    Browser, Chromium, Version 48.0.2564.82 Built on Ubuntu 14.04, running on LinuxMint 17.2 (64-bit)

    Extentions:
    Adblock Plus 1.10.1
    Cryptocat 2.2.2
    Disconnect 5.18.23
    Easy Auto Refresh 4.1
    Ghostery 5.4.11
    Page Monitor 3.4.4
    Referrer Control 1.16

    By process of elimination, the culprit is the Referrer Control extension. I have been unable to create a custom filter to stop the error. The problem is definitely on my end.

    Thanks for providing your browser and plugins details.

    Wassup (and WordPress) uses browser referrer information to verify that update requests originated from a Wassup (WordPress) form before processing the request, so ‘Referrer Control’ must indeed be the culprit.

    If it’s a free plugin, I will look at ‘Referrer Control’ to see if there is any way to exclude internal WordPress admin referrer data from being affected by it.

    Thanks. It is a free plugin. I turned on the detailed logging on Referrer Control so I could see what was being blocked then I added exceptions, but it didn’t work.
    It’s not an issue for me now since I know what it is and I can disable to plugin easily enough if I ever want to make changes again.
