Update to CF7 3.6 seems to have broken the dynamic text extension

Well done on finding a solution and so quickly. Saved a lot of sore heads!

Any idea how long it takes for the WordPress Plugin Directory to update? I can still only download 1.0.4.2. – Ireland

Thanks again, happy holidays!

Actually, scrap that. When you go to download the plugin, it actually downloads 1.1. – just the button caption hasn’t updated yet.

Thanks again.

Michael

As of this moment, the plugin installer still hasn’t been updated.

@sevenspark
Does this mean we should undo the @fijnmedia fix ?

Hey guys,

Apparently the last version number didn’t get updated because when I changed the file names, the repository didn’t delete the old version, so it was still picking up the old version number of the plugin even though the contents were current. I’ve now delete that through svn and the version has been updated to 1.1. To be sure you have the latest version working, you may want to redownload and ensure that your version is 1.1 in your Plugins panel ??

@sjourney, I would recommend undoing the finjmedia fix. It is essentially the same thing, but it could have an impact on other parts of the CF7 plugin, whereas the fix in CF7 DTX will only affect the DTX plugin

Thanks, guys!

So I updated CF7 DTX to 1.1 and then tried to undo fijnmedia’s fix, but since then the CF7 WP-reCaptcha plugin (and maybe other CF7 plugins too) stopped working, it only shows the shortcode. Reapplying the fix and re-activating the WP-recaptcha or the CF7 DTX plugin didn’t help.
Is this caused by the CF7 DTX 1.1 update? What to do?

I highly doubt it. More likely that the CF7 recaptcha is being affected by the CF7 update/sequencing change just as the DTX was. Make sure the priority on the plugins_loaded action hook in that plugin is set higher than 10

I am not really a PHP programmer. Could anyone point me to how and where to set this priority?
Thanks and sorry, I know that this is not your plugin…
In CF7 recapcha’s WPASDPlugin.class.php I found:
“add_action(‘plugins_loaded’, array(&$this, ‘initialize’));”
I changed it to :
“add_action(‘plugins_loaded’, array(&$this, ‘initialize’), 1);”
But that doesn’t seem to work. Will I have to deactivate and reactivate Contact Form 7 or any of the extensions plugins also? If so, in what order?

Looks like you found it ?? But like I suggested, make the priority higher than 10. i.e. change that 1 to a 15.

Just a guess, though. That’s what worked in the DTX. If it doesn’t work for you, the author of that plugin will have to look into it.

I thought making it a lower number would change it to a higher priority (hence the expression priority one), but indeed it apears to work in the oposite way. Setting it to 15 made it work again. Thanks Sevenspark!

You’re welcome, glad it helped! ??

Thanks so much sevenspark for helping us figure out the issue with someone else’s plugin!
