Hi everyone,
We'll be applying an important WordPress security update to the York web environment to address a security issue.
If your site uses the YorkU News Block with Toolset, you may notice that the automatically displayed news posts stop working after the update.
If this happens, the here is the fix:
- Activate the Code Snippets plugin.
- Add the following code to your site's footer:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.yorku.ca/wp-content/plugins/yorkublocks-v1.3/src/blocks/tabbed-news/front.build.js" id="yorku-blocks-tabbed-news-front-script-js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.yorku.ca/wp-content/plugins/yorkublocks-v1.3/src/scrollby-polyfill.js" id="yorku-blocks-scrollby-polyfill-js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" id="yorku-blocks-style-css" href="https://www.yorku.ca/wp-content/plugins/yorkublocks-v1.3/dist/style.css?ver=6.9.5" type="text/css" media="all" />If you're not sure whether your site is affected or would like help applying the fix, please reach out to the Web Team - we're happy to help.
As always if you have any questions please reach out to our web team at cpadigit@yorku.ca or join us for our weekly drop-in sessions for more hands-on support, taking place every Wed. at 1:30pm. Invite link can be found here: LINK.
