Thanks for reminding me of this. It’s been a busy past week or so and this was lost in the shuffle. I’ll find some time over the next few weeks to look into this and configure a new system for loading Google fonts.

Ahh, yes, that was also one of the post statuses I was told to lock down. For now, keep using the previous version. I’ll find some time in the next couple of weeks to update the settings to have some control on this… And keep my fingers crossed that I don’t get flagged again ??

Is the client trying to duplicate a non-published post? The plugin was flagged with a security risk because I was allowing non-admin users to duplicate private/draft/password protected posts that aren’t their original post… So, I had to modify this functionality. I don’t necessarily agree with the thought process, I didn’t want to make the change, but didn’t have much of a choice.

Let me know if this is the case. I can possibly just add more settings to at least give admin the ability to allow this functionality and then it would be up to the individual site to decide as opposed to hard-coding this in without any flexibility.

Hi Ann, thanks for contacting me. The Google fonts should only load if you’ve selected to use a Google font in the Display for your Ditty.

Edit your Ditty and click on the Display tab. Then, select the Style sub-tab and make sure your Item Typography > Font Family does not have a Google font selected.

If for some reason this doesn’t seem to be the case on your site let me know. There may be something else going on.

Klaus, thanks for reaching out, I am seeing the same thing you are seeing, but don’t have . I have tested a few things to provide some insight:

1. If you add the RSS feed to the basic WordPress RSS block/widget on your remote site, you’ll get the same error. Ditty RSS uses the same RSS reader that WordPress does, so this is not a Ditty specific issue.
2. If you run the RSS feed through a validator you’ll see that it does not validate: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nius.de%2Frss

I ran a bunch of tests and tried access the feed url directly using cURL and still get a 403 ERROR. It looks like the request is being blocked by Amazon CloudFront, which is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) used by https://www.nius.de. The 403 error specifically indicates that the request is being denied, likely due to security policies configured on CloudFront.

I’ll do a bit more research on this, but you may need to reach out to the source site and see if they can provide any advice/insight on getting access to the feed on a remote site.

Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad you got it figured out.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will keep this in mind for a possible future update.

Thanks for reaching out, sorry for the confusion. I need to update my documentation for sliders. What you are seeing is for an old version, but you can still create a slider. You need to select List as the display type and set Paging to Yes and Items Per Page to 1 (see screenshot).

Let me know if you have any other questions relating to this.

Thanks for mentioning this functionality. I’ll take a look into myself and see if I can work something out.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve replied to the ticket on my site. Let’s continue the conversation over there and I’ll close this ticket out.

Klaus – Thanks for reaching out. The support forum on my site is actually where I like to keep purchased product support, so if you have more questions feel free to continue the conversation over there. But, here is a quick video showing how to resolve your issue: https://www.loom.com/share/4938e9e4d1af49deadfff68f67e66503?sid=2c1fb653-bc0b-4ce7-a953-80b457435cc2

Thanks for contacting me. The ticker display uses javascript to continually loop and position items. Normally this isn’t an issue, but there are times when certain other javascript on the page can cause problems with it. You can try running through the following article to try and track down which plugin/script may be conflicting: https://www.metaphorcreations.com/article/general/plugins/test-plugin-conflicts/. You can also see the ticker at the top of my site here and compare to how yours is running. I see there’s a slider script and flipbook script running on the home page. I would initially start with trying to disable those temporarily and see if anything changes.

I do have plans to put together a ticker/marquee that mainly uses css, but I’m not sure when that will be available. It will still probably be a while.

I am working on a clients website and they hold the license for the pro version, so I don’t have direct access to their account.

I posted instructions on how to view the issue in my first comment, there is no direct access to the form as the page has a redirect if the initial small form is not submitted first. You need to submit the initial form and then you’ll see the Community Events Forms.

This is related to the Community Events Forms, but the issue stems from the free version of the plugin. I’ve already provided the solution to this issue. It’s a small issue that should be a pretty quick fix.

Thanks for getting back to me. You are correct, it looks like that line of code is slightly different now in 6.8.1, but the issue is still the same. We are using the pro plugin, but the issue is stemming from the free plugin. Here is the current code in the free plugin, within the Linked_Posts.php file:

data-create-choice-template="<?php echo __( 'Create: <%= term %>', 'the-events-calendar' ); ?>"

This caused the issue below, when trying to add a new venue with the Community Events form:

The attribute still needs to be escaped, like this:

data-create-choice-template="<?php echo esc_attr( __( 'Create: <%= term %>', 'the-events-calendar' ) ); ?>"

When the attribute is escaped, it resolves the issue:

Thanks for the help!

1. PHP 8.2.24
2. WP 6.2
3. TEC 6.8.0 – TEC Pro 7.3.0
4. Custom theme

Please just pass this along my initial submission to your developers. This attribute should be escaped for security reasons in the first place, regardless of the bug.
