[theme-reviewers] Redux framework may be dialing home

[Afzaal (ThinkUpThemes)]

Dovy,

 

This is beyond disappointing! That jsfiddle is unexplainable. Having users websites appear without their knowledge and for public view? I to want an explanation for why you think this is even remotely acceptable?

 

Having reviewed the changelog it appears that you added tracking in v3.0.7. What about earlier versions? Did you decide to secretly hide any tracking code in such versions?

 

Thanks,

 

Afzaal

@Otto + Others:

Lead developer of Redux Framework here.


In regards to Redux Framework, there was indeed an error in our code causing some instances to dial-back even when set to opt-out. This was not our intent or desire to "dial-home". It was a mistake in coding between JS and PHP.

 

A patch has been made and new version of Redux has been deployed to WP.com and our repository. Everything should now fit well within your requirements.

 

Redux aims to always follow the guidelines. If you find any issue in the future, do not hesitate to contact me directly at dovy at reduxframework.com. I am now also on this list and will watch for any issues that may come up.

 

In our next newsletter I will also urge developers to update to the newest version of Redux especially for WP.com themes.

 

Thank you.

Before suspending, I request you to warn the developers about this in the review ticket. Many of the developers doesn't even know about this. One of my themes uses redux and I noticed the tracking.php file while developing and removed it. Maybe they should have a chance to do that too.

Just my two cents

I'll see if I can find them all in trac.

The hell?

 

The answer is a very clear cut no, you can't do that. If any themes in the directory currently have this, they should be immediately suspended.

Not to mention that what they done here, well sucks: http://jsbin.com/ugELElU/1. Redux is revealing more than they should!
