You can mimic Collapse-O-Matic’s functionality with a simple JavaScript accordion and a custom WordPress shortcode. I ended up doing that for my sites that used Collapse-O-Matic, and it’s actually a lot lighter on pageload since it no longer requires full Jquery.

No rush, thank you again so much for your work on this plugin! I will use it with the string for now and keep an eye out for an update some day ??

Thank you! Is there a way to get it to simply return the category alone instead of the string ‘Term: “[the category]” found.’?

Unchecking the “Block/Guttenberg Editor” option in the STC Settings actually fixed this, which makes sense since this site does use the classic editor. I had never noticed that option before!

Thanks for your ongoing work on this plugin ??

Awesome, thank you!

What happens if you exclude wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-category/ and/ or untick “also aggregate inline CSS”?

That makes it work normally!

I have never optimized JS because it has always caused issues, so I can’t speak to that.

I just tried excluding “wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-category/css/stc-tax-style.css” from my Autoptimize CSS Minification, but it still had the same error of bricking all CSS on my site.

Awesome. Thank you so much for your work on this plugin ???

I’m having this issue as well, can you clarify on “the next update”? I don’t see a new plugin version or wordpress version so I’m not sure which update I’m missing.

I grabbed all the files from the Trunk version in the dev page, but it is still causing script issues on my backend/admin.

Aaaaaand I solved my own problem. Hopefully this is useful to you and/or any users of your plugin in the future ??

1and1’s CloudFlare CDN must have the SSL setting on “Full SSL” to avoid this issue. The default is “Flexible SSL”, which was causing the issues I was having. Huzzah!

Doing some further troubleshooting, this seems to be a conflict with my webhost 1and1’s CDN (which is handled by CloudFlare).

Any thoughts on why CloudFlare / CDN might cause redirect issues with this?

I don’t have any issues with your plugin on HTTP, and I don’t have any issues with HTTPS when my CloudFlare CDN is turned on. But for some reason, using all three at once causes a “too many redirects” issue with WordPress.

Just an update here to anyone else who might be running into this. I’ve fixed the issue by updating to PHP 7 in my webhost (1and1) backend.

That didn’t have any effect, unfortunately. Is there some other way I can debug the rotation behavior?

I just tested a site with all plugins disabled and the issue persists. I tested the same site with no plugins on Twenty Seventeen theme and the issue persists.

The four sites are all hosted under 1and1, but not under the same usernames/packages. I use CloudFlare CDN on all the sites, but disabling it has no effect.
