I stay with my statements. Please read the raw GDPR policy. They are really clear that it’s about certain cookies, not all cookies. Additionally you can setup GA so that no personal identifiable information can be tracked. Please check out this link on how to do this:

If you don’t agree with me, please start a discussion. I challenge you, where does GDPR says that you need “cookie consent” for all cookies?
You are so wrong. It’s perfectly fine according to GDPR to store cookies without consent, as long as they do not serve as remarketing or personal tracking etc. It’s perfectly fine to save a cookie with the user’s opt-out choices (to avoid asking over and over). You really should read the law again, nowhere it says that it’s an all or nothing approach regarding cookies, and nowhere it says that all cookies are tracking personal information.
I think the law is perfectly clear, but somehow everyone keeps on obsessing over cookies. A cookie is just ONE way of tracking a user or remarketing a user. The problem is that almost everyone makes the mistake of considering a cookie = a remarketing cookie. This plugin is a good example of how misinformation about GDPR is being spread.
The following is also incorrect:
“It also means that you should not be tracking users on your website with tools such as Google Analytics until they give you a specific permission to do so.”
Tracking through Google Analytics is fine, as long as you don’t store personal identifiable data in it and advertising features are not enabled withing Google Analytics.
As a follow up, this statement is totally incorrect:
“GDPR states that as a website owner, you cannot assume a user has opted into the cookies being used on your website – the user must give a positive opt in or “affirmative action” to signal their consent to the use of cookies and you also cannot force users to opt into the use of cookies.”
GDPR is very clear you ONLY need to consent to use cookie that are being used for tracking/remarketing etc. GDPR nowhere says you need consent to store cookies in general.

In reply to: [Simple Pull Quote] Plugin blocks the editorThe problem was solved by downloading the ‘langs’ folder from Github and adding it to the ‘tinymce’ folder of the plugin. For some reason the ‘langs’ folder was gone in my configuration.

In reply to: [Display All Image Sizes] Choose image size for featured imageThe image size used for your featured image is set by your theme. So you’ll have to edit your theme. This is outside the scope of this plugin.

In reply to: [Plugin: SidePosts Widget] More specific CSS?Oway, I’m wrong, you can style the title by styling
#sidebar ul li.widget_sideposts ul a
This will affect all the links in your post, but that will be overridden by:
#sidebar ul li.widget_sideposts ul li p a
Not very clean, but owkay, it works ??

In reply to: [Plugin: SidePosts Widget] More specific CSS?Still, there is no way to format the title with CSS.

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.8 & Now I Can’t Save or Publish New PostsI have the same problem, but I don’t get an error.
If it is a previously published post you edit and save, the old post is loaded (so changes you made are lost).
If it is a new post you save, a blank post is loaded after submit.
