Hey @dwenaus, thanks for fixing this in the newest version! Sorry I didn’t get you that diff in time, but it looks like you managed to fix it (I grep’ed the new code).

I disagree with this. The notice is only on the admin page for the administrator who has installed the plugin, not on the public pages. You are not “forced” to donate, you can simply ignore his polite request, benefit from the plugin, and never give anything in return.

It is funny that you think you are entitled to receive something for nothing and never be confronted (even politely) with the fact that it took somebody else’s time and effort to create.

This is not the only plugin asking for donations, and the lack of donations to plugin developers results in fewer options for consumers such as yourself.

You should also look up the difference between gratis and libre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre (not that it applies here because this plugin is both).

I haven’t read through all of the posts here but I wanted to mention that manual mode also doesn’t work for me.

Thanks to the W3TC people for all of their hard work — it is truly thankless. Remember, this is free software, so bear with them during the bugs. The solution for users of free plugins is to have a staging site to catch errors before you deploy upgrades to your production blog.

I figured out why. It’s because you’re relying on the default behavior of html_entity_decode(), which doesn’t touch single quotes. I’m not sure if there is a reason for that, but if not, you can fix this by specifying the mode as ENT_QUOTES.

See here: https://us.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php

EDIT: And indeed, adding ENT_QUOTES to those functions in the plugin fixed the problem for me.
