Howdy!
Yet again I woke up with a head ache. The last major update brought us emoji scripts injecting into our site which is supposed to be working without js. This could be solved… with a plug-in. Now the story repeats – a footer script was added and again, a plug-in had to be installed – Disable Embeds. The thing is that we wanted to keep the plugin number as low as possible, and here we have – 2 more…
Now for the hard part – there is also a third script thing – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-44-remove-json-api-and-x-pingback-from-http-headers
Some thing is added into the head section. This is not easily removed. There is plug-in but we do not have a testing environment to check if it works:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-work-with-the-latest-wordpress-version-44
In the first link there is a code snipet which we have tried to add int htaccess but without luck.
Any hints how to strike back this nonsense?
With each and every release we get surprised and this whole pushing users to things starts to be more and more annoying. Moving 13.000 posts to something different will not be easy and cheap but this starts to show up in my head as at some point I will have 10 plug-ins just to disable wordpress crap.
This whole json api contacts https://api.w.org which allows one to track the process of using of wordpress. The same goes for google fonts inside wordpress admin. Each time we log in google knows it as their fonts are loaded. Not nice. Not nice at all.
I have decided to run a self hosted instance of wordpress to be the master of situation and to get rid of google and co but now they just don’t want to stop.
The end of my little rant 😉
