Small, Efficient WordPress Plugins
Yes it is. This plugin will remain free.
Perhaps we did not cover ourselves in glory here.
Lookie as in "Look! something popped up"
Cookie as in we are seeking consent to store cookies on the site.
And most importantly, the name rhymes like all the other wee plugins.
<rant>There may be an element of satire in the plugin name. While we take data privacy very seriously indeed, we recognize the EU Cookie Law is a really poor bit of legislation that imposes cost on website owners (tens of millions of small businesses) and could have been implemented more effectively and efficiently at less than one thousandth of the cost to the economy by getting the few dozen browser manufacturers to implement the required cookie controls. Not every small business can afford to hire a full time compliance officer nor should they have to.</rant>
As the plugin is free then the support is necessarily limited.
We will:
No. We believe the most robust solution for individual cookie control is managed in the browser.
The reason for this is that cookies live in the browser.
A website can load a script from another site that loads a script from a third site and so on. The original site has no prior visibility of the downstream chain of events. However, the browser on the visitor's device has full visibility and control of the cookies being presented.
There are solutions available that make best efforts to identify what cookies might be downloaded when visiting a site however they are complex, and tend to cost around $30 per month for each site. They operate by having robots trawl the site frequently to see what cookies get produced and automatically update the cookie policy page to list these cookies, and then attempt a way of managing permission on these cookies. This is complicated, not 100% reliable and end up showing the visitor a list of cookies that are largely meaningless to them.
Many large companies are adopting a solution that does not allow individual opt-outs on the website. For example, go to Yahoo in incognito mode on your browser. The decision there is either to accept the cookies or get on your horse and ride to the next town!
Yes it is. The plugin has been created primarily for developers who create similar terms and conditions, privacy statement and cookie policy pages on multiple client sites: only a few details differ. This plugin will remain free.
Foxy as in clever.
Proxy as in it uses placeholders in the template text. When the page is built, items such as company names, email address, etc. are substituted in the template.
And most importantly, the name rhymes like all the other wee plugins.
As the plugin is free then the support is necessarily limited.
We will:
There are free and premium versions of this plugin. Comment spam handling is free; form spam handling is paid.
This is because the comments are a standard WordPress feature but form spam detection must be implemented differently for each form handling plugin.
Spam is what we are targeting here
It aims to Slam-dunk the spam into the trash
And most importantly, the name rhymes like all the other wee plugins.
For the free plugin we will:
For the paid plugin we will provide full support including logging into the site if requested to help diagnose any problems.
Yes and No.
The spam handling works for all standard WordPress comment forms. But the contact form handling only works for forms created using our favorite Gravity Forms plugin. However we plan to add support for a few other forms plugins such as Fluent Forms and Contact Form 7.
Yes it is. The plugin has been created primarily as a helper plugin for Oxygen site builders. It will grow organically over time. This plugin will remain free.
O..2..Go..2
The O2 is a reference to Oxygen.
It is a "Go to" plugin for Oxygen users.
And most importantly, the name rhymes like all the other wee plugins.
As the plugin is free then the support is necessarily limited.
We will:
Several of the shortcodes are specifically designed for use in Oxygen re-usable parts.
The postmeta related shortcodes can be used to include post meta information in the post header such as the post published date, post modified date, the author link and the post edit link. The copyright shortcode is used in the Oxygen footer reusuable part which appears at the foot of each page.
The other shortcodes will be made available as Gutenberg blocks since they are largely for use directly in the page content. These include shortcodes for Wistia videos and Pastebin code inserts.
Amazon OneLink is a feature for use by Amazon affiliates. It allows you place an Amazon US link on the site but have that linked replaced automatically by a local Amazon product link based on the visitor country (assuming you have an affiliate account for that country). To do this Amazon provides a script however it loads slowly and will negatively impact the page scores on GTMetrix. The feature in the plugin ensures the Amazon script only loads on pages that have the Amazon links.
