    Hi there,

    Developer of Ultimate Tinymce here.

    One of my clients reported some excessive error log files. After digging around, I found some of them are generated by your fantastic plugin.

    Here is a snippet of the error logs:

    [14-Sep-2013 03:57:13 America/Kentucky/Louisville] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home/XXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfLog.php on line 486
[14-Sep-2013 03:57:13 America/Kentucky/Louisville] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home/XXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfCrawl.php on line 74
[14-Sep-2013 03:57:13 America/Kentucky/Louisville] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home/XXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfLog.php on line 107

    It seems to repeat that block of notices over and over again.

    I am assuming it has to do with the user agent not being set (or is empty) when certain browsers are viewing the page.

    Normally I would disregard such notices… but this error log fills up FAST! It was around 72 megs when I found it. After deleting, it was back to two megs within a couple hours.

    I’m going to dig around; but I thought I might bring it to your attention.

    Again, awesome plugin!

    Yep.

    First checking to make sure the HTTP_USER_AGENT is not empty suppresses the PHP notices.

    It might be of interest to incorporate this into your core.

    Thank you!

    Thanks Josh, I’ve incorporated your suggested fixes and caught a few other instances where we’re not doing that check, so this will be incorporated into the next release out shortly.

    Regards,

    Mark.

    Thanks Mark!

    Personally, I haven’t used it… but you have a donation coming from me anyways just for being an awesome developer and maintainer!

    Keep up the great work!
