Update Notices

3.6.0

Remove PHP Sessions

Release date: 02-10-21

This update removes PHP Sessions from Logic Hop to fix the Critical Warning which appears in the WordPress Site Tools report.

With this update it is necessary to update all of your Logic Hop plugins at the same time. We suggest you Disable auto-updates for all Logic Hop plugins in advance of the plugin updates on 02-10-21.

Auto-updates can be disabled from Dashboard > Plugins by clicking disable auto-updates next to each of your Logic Hop plugins

When you are ready to update to 3.6.0:

  • Test the update in a staging environment if possible
  • Temporarily deactivate all of your Logic Hop plugins
  • Install the updates for all of your Logic Hop plugins
  • Reactivate each starting with Logic Hop followed by Logic Hop Local Storage
  • View your site in an incognito window to make sure there are no errors

We’ve done extensive testing and are confident you shouldn’t experience any issues. However, if you do run into any issues, please let us know and we’ll work to correct them ASAP. We’ve also provided a ZIP file with the previous version of each of our Plugins if you’d like to roll back to their earlier releases.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, please let us know. You can always reach us at info@logichop.com.

3.2.4

Dynamic Embedded Content

The Shortcode [logichop_embed] has been added that will allow for Logic Hop Data variables to be used with WordPress Embeds. This will allow for dynamic content based on Logic Hop data such as query strings.

Dynamic Instagram embed based on query string ?instagram=##Instagram Post ID##:

[logichop_embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/{{ var: Query:instagram | default: Bvk5R26AYrz }}/[/logichop_embed]

Dynamic YouTube video based on query string ?youtube=##YouTube Video ID## processed with the Shortcode [embed]:

[logichop_embed shortcode="embed" width="1920" heigh="1080"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={{ var: Query:youtube | default: dQw4w9WgXcQ }}[/logichop_embed]

Note: The [logichop_embed] Shortcode will only work when Javascript Mode is disabled.

Transients Class

A minor update was made in how the Logic Hop Transient Class is included when Transients are enabled. This should help prevent an error from occurring if Logic Hop is called after PHP headers are sent.

3.2.3

Javascript Cookies

Prior to 3.2.3 Logic Hop cookies were set in PHP using the setcookie() function. While this works in most scenarios, some hosting environments block and/or cache cookies that are set via the Set-Cookie header.

Setting cookies via Javacript allows the cookies to function as expected.

Transients for Logic Hop

By default Logic Hop makes use of PHP Sessions for temporarily storing user data. The new Enable WordPress Transients setting temporarily stores user data as a WordPress Transient in the WP_Options table rather than PHP Sessions.

The Delete Transients setting enables an optional Cron job which will automatically delete expired Logic Hop Transients.

Nested Logic Tags are disabled by default. To enable:

  • Visit the Logic Hop Settings
  • Check the Enable Nested Logic Tags
  • Click Save Changes to save your settings

Once enabled please take a moment to review your pages which contain Logic Hop conditions and confirm everything appears as expected.
