I thought it might be related to a plugin, so I created a blank page. And yet the error appeared in my console…
I found a recent post by @rico.trevisan talking about something I think is related, but I couldn’t connect the dots, since, in my case, I don’t have any PayPal plugin and the page in question has absolutely nothing…
This somehow seems to be related to @ZeroqodeSupport as I also found this in their forum:
But I also don’t have any “Text File Conjurer” plugin…
Have you taken a look at your logs? I find it strange since I haven’t installed any plugins recently…
Yes that is because of Zeroqode’s plugins (it seems the older versions) in the global shared section on every page. They still host the file but it appears their domain name ran out and/or they stopped this practice which is why you see the POST request failure.
Yes just checked, under the Network tab you can find the plst error then go to Payload and the POST body is there, it also sends all the plugins used in your app
This is not enough to test without plugin because some of them will add header to all page, not just when you add plugin element to a page (bad plugin design from my point of view). You need to preview in safe mode.
We’ve noted the reports and are currently checking this with our development team. As soon as we have more details, we’ll share a full explanation in this thread.
If the team needs any additional information to investigate further, we’ll make sure to request it here as well.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we review this.
Yes, I don’t think they were doing it maliciously, but I thought it was wrong. I didn’t like knowing that I was sending them data related to plugins that weren’t even theirs, without my authorization or prior consent.
We’d like to clarify this point after checking with our dev team.
The POST request you’ve noticed was related to an old analytics script that existed back when there weren’t yet established guidelines around this. Even then, the script only collected publicly available information and never touched private app data.
This code has been removed a long time ago and is no longer present in any of our current plugin versions.
If you’re using Zeroqode plugins in your app, we recommend updating them to the most recent versions to ensure you’re fully on the latest builds, which contain these improvements.
To reassure everyone again:
No personal or sensitive data was ever collected.
The legacy code has been fully removed.
Current plugin versions make no such requests.
We appreciate the community for flagging this, and we’re always open to feedback that helps us improve our products and keep things fully transparent.
I wonder if it is partially the reason why every plugin dev had to disclose YES or NO if it uses your data. Either way it is clear what it was doing and at least it is gone now
