FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package wp-disable-browse-happy

wp-disable-browse-happy

WordPress plugin to disable queries to BrowseHappy API (for example, for privacy reasons).

When you go to the Admin Dashboard of your WordPress site, WP checks whether your browser is up-to-date, and displays a notice if it is not (i.e., "You are using an insecure browser!" or "Your browser is out of date!").

This is probably not a bad thing, but:

  1. It could be annoying for Linux users (they may have a browser with all security patches backported yet its version will not be the latest)
  2. wp_check_browser_version() function, which implements the check, does that with a call to http://api.wordpress.org/core/browse-happy/1.1/ (or https:// if the SSL support is enabled):

You can see that this code sends your user agent string, WordPress version, and the URL and IP address (implicitly) of the blog. Strictly speaking, it is enough to send only the user agent to check whether the browser is up-to-date, the rest of the information is not necessary.

WordPess plugin guidelines say that "In the interest of protecting user privacy, plugins may not contact external servers without the explicit consent of the user".

I think that the same should apply to the WP Core itself; since WP "leaks the data" by default, and there is no way to opt out of that in the UI, you can use this plugin to turn off that functionality.

Installation

Via composer

Run from WordPress root directory

Traditional way

Upload the plugin to wp-content/plugins/, go to the Admin Dashboard => Plugins and activate the plugin.

Note: after you install and activate the plugin, it is possible that you still see the warning in the Dashboard. This happens because WP caches the check result for some time. You can either wait until it goes away, or, if you have WP-CLI, you can run this from your WP root directory:
