In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awayAnd then there are plugins that make it very difficult to delete all their data. Anyhow, I will keep playing around, but for now WPP is no longer displaying at all in the right side bar.
Thanks again for the help! Will mark as ‘resolved’.

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awayOne quick question; if I delete WPP, will the settings and configurations remain in the database? This will be good for when I re-install it another time.

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awayNope, no joy. I must be missing something small, but in the meantime I can’t get WPP to work on some pretty stock standard websites on all big browsers, using the custom code and other methods already shared.
So, I have unfortunately deactivated it for now and will try again in a week or 2. Maybe something, somewhere will have changed. It is a pity as WPP has been working fine for a long time, especially on desktop where it is one of the first things seen.

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awayGood morning.
Code snippet added, JS Combination on, all caches purged, browser and server. (this is on my own Spain website already shared) I generally update and play with my own sites first.
WPP then works on Chrome and FF, but not Safari on desktop or mobile. It is only when I disable all JS combination does WPP work everywhere.
Busy discussing with a client about keeping WPP on her site if I can’t get it to work without spending too much more time on it, as it is only seen if visitors scroll all the way to the bottom, but which no one actually does. 80% of her traffic is mobile. What I am first going to do is update only WPP to the latest version. I will leave WP core and the SG Optimiser plugin, to see what happens.

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awayI have not added that code to functions.php yet, but I have turned JS Combination back on in the SG plugin. WPP is now broken on all browsers on the front, but it is now working on Safari if logged in to WP, whereas with JS Combine off it did not work on Safari at all. They (SG) have also just updated the plugin and the changelog mentions something about JS. If I knew php I would do some more digging for details, at least I would be able to better understand what is written in these logs….I haven’t found anything related in Safari console yet. I may try disabling all JS performance features, to test.

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awayJust checked Safari again quick after clearing its cache, no WPP, just the little red line. But WPP is working on FF and Chrome.

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awayThanks, I’ll give that a try in the morning. I’ll also try Safari again, but when I did try it I had already cleared all its cache for the site in question. I’m using it on a MacBook Air M1 with the latest macOS, if that means anything.
I have Code Snippets on all my sites for a few things, but I only use it if absolutely have to as I already have a ton of custom CSS on one site as per client request in order to place ads. That site has WPP which is still working on all browsers, but I have yet to update it.
I tend to avoid customising too far out of the box as it makes inevitable trouble shooting that much easier. You end up having to think…what did I customise that could be causing xyz problem?…
Yes, the plugin is now called ‘Speed Optimiser’ since they made it usable on all other hosts. Yes, I also find it odd they don’t allow manual excluding of scripts, but up until now I’ve never needed to exclude anything, so I’ve let it slide. Maybe you can get in touch with them to suggest allowing that as others have been/are asking for it. I’m not a coder, but if it came from a fellow plugin coder they might be more inclined to implement it. ??

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awaySorry, it was when I completely disabled the combination of JS that WPP worked again. But still, no option to exclude the WPP script from combination.
Another edit: combination of JS is off and WPP is now working on FF and Chrome, but it is not showing in Safari…
I’m busy trying to finish off ‘The Night Manager’ on Prime. Will leave things as they are until morning. Thanks in the meantime!

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] My Popular Posts Grid Widget has also gone awaySo, I am using the Siteground Optimiser plugin, on Siteground. Yes, said plugin does partly work on other hosts.
Now I usually have all toggles on and exclude nothing from minification, deferral or combination. In this case though, completely disabling the Deferral of Render Blocking Javascript fixes the problem, but this then defeats the object of optimisation because now nothing is being deferred. I should then be able to exclude the WPP JS from being deferred, but that script is not offered in the drop down list.

In reply to: [WordPress Popular Posts] Popular Posts Grid Widget has gone awayAbout WP forum rules, can others also jump in with a ‘me too’ post? But yes, the widget in my side bars has also gone, just a very little red line, like it’s trying to load something. I had this in the past but cache flushing solved it. Now I’ve tried everything, but with no joy.
Bear in mind there has also been a WP core update, so I have to wonder if that maybe also has something to do with it.

In reply to: [Ad Inserter - Ad Manager & AdSense Ads] WPMLYea, I’m still trying to figure out how WPML works. I have just opened a ticket with them, but they don’t work on weekends, and we pay them, US$75/year.
I’m going to keep looking into this, including the links you have shared, but I have a feeling only WPML support will be able to tell me how this particular text can be translated.
Thanks again for your time.

In reply to: [Hide SEO Bloat] Settings hiddenI’m not sure I need anything from you, at least I thought I did. On the other hand, I’m not sure it’s an issue with the Admin Menu Editor plugin either.
What I do think happened is your plugin can’t hide Yoast premium menu items if they are not in the default order.
So yes, it was barely a few minutes after I posted this ticket that I thought to compare the site in question with my other sites. It was then that I noticed the difference, and moved things back in to the default order, using Menu Editor.
At the end of the day I’m not sure why these menu items where in another order, but at least things are now working/hidden as desired.
But yes, if you have time and feel like playing around, maybe you can try replicate this ‘issue’ and see if there’s anything that can be done about it from your side.
What this did prompt me to do was try Rank Math on one site. Lets see…
Sure, you can close this ticket.

In reply to: [Hide SEO Bloat] Settings hiddenOk, now that is weird. I also have the Admin Menu Editor plugin. Moving things around in there seemed to do the trick. What needs to be hidden is, and settings for Yoast and Hide are now visible.
Right, time for lunch.
