Like most companies trying to save face, there are always company representatives using PR to downplay any negativity.

You know exactly why the backlash occurred, so don’t play dumb. I have no idea why Thomas keeps bringing up the “JavaScript Events API.”

Recently, OptinMonster decided to drastically change the design of their software. As is clear from Thomas’ comment, they continue to downplay its significance despite telling me in a personal email that it changes the logistics of the company. It’s definitely not a trivial change! This switch has severely impacted my use of the plugin and introduced a host of new of problems. Furthermore, Syed has confirmed that in December OptinMonster’s design will completely change yet again.

The product I purchased no longer exists, yet I’m still expected to pay for it.

Of course I still use it, as Syed inappropriately pointed out with his screenshot. My choice is either to use OptinMonster or accept a financial loss. Even if I stop using the plugin I still would not receive a refund, so Syed comment’s is completely irrelevant.

OptinMonster is not worth the money. I cannot put any trust in a company that pivots its business without any notice to its customers. There are better products on the market. You can increase subscribers using any service of this nature. But I would highly recommend focusing on another service, not OptinMonster.

I worked out you can use the preview_post_link filter to just remove it. Example:

function replace_preview_link( $url ) {
	if ( get_post_type() != 'myposttype' ) {
		return $url;
	}

	return str_replace( '&post_format=standard', '', $url );
}

add_filter( 'preview_post_link', 'replace_preview_link' );

I’d like to know this too. I can’t seem to find an answer.

I don’t like that direction because it’s not intuitive. I’d rather this change be added directly to the plugin itself. Otherwise I’ll just fork it.

Note: the above needs to be enclosed in if ($found_main == false)

In restrict-widgets.php I added the following code after line 1611:

foreach(get_the_category() as $category)
{
	$found_main = isset($instance['rw_opt']['category_'.$category->cat_ID]) ? true : false;
	if ($found_main) break;
}

This achieves the functionality I desire. Have I misinterpreted the intention of setting a category restriction? It appears it’s designed to show only on particular category archives, rather than on posts within a particular category.

Here is what I mean:

Removed inline JavaScript in favor of using wp_localize_script

wp_localize_script is a better way to configure options than inlining JavaScript directly. If it was on git I’d make the changes myself, but I don’t want to deal with SVN.

I no longer use this plugin. It’s too inefficient and too buggy. It’s not worthwhile over embedding HTML directly from Facebook.

Ok, so I tried your recommendation. It saved a total of 3 lines. Good job.

Except it doesn’t do what I want. It simply falls back to loading Font Awesome locally.

Since English isn’t getting the message across so easily, here’s the code I wrote:

function remove_bsa_font_awesome() {
	wp_dequeue_style( 'bfa-font-awesome' );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_bsa_font_awesome', 16 );

So yes, I know it’s *possible* to not load Font Awesome, but what I was requesting was an option. Not a hook, or a filter, or code, but an option that you click.

This is still a coding solution rather than an option. It’s really not much more convenient than adding a hook.

Support seems to have died for this plugin. I tried debugging to no avail. I’ve uninstalled the plugin completely and have gone back to W3TC.

I’m having the same problem lately. I’ve had to disable the plugin. It completely corrupts CSS files at random. I haven’t been able to find the cause.

It did not show up at all. This was only a problem specifically with WordPress 4.1.2. The issue may have been resolved either with an updated WordPress installation or through an updated version of Buckets.

Standalone. I haven’t yet updated to the latest version due to the custom modifications I’ve made.
