This message keeps popping up when I click on my POSTS: “Failed to load plugin url: /wp-content/mu-plugins/grunion-contact-form/js/tinymce-plugin-form-button.js” Everything seems to be working fine, though, and it’s not creating any problems as I can see at the moment. Just thought I’d mention this in case it IS something I should be concerned with.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,

Thanks for starting a thread on this issue. I’ve been seeing the same message recently, in every WP-Admin page and post editor, on numerous different sites in my primary account.

Hey there,

Is this happening with sites hosted on WordPress.com?

Hey! @aleaone89,

Yes, it’s evidently showing up in every site in the account I’m presently using here. I must have seen it in 15 or 20 of my sites so far (most being test sites used in my forums work), each with a different theme applied, in the last few days. The message appears in the WP-Admin post and page editors, at the top of the editor window, in a box with a light pink background.

Hello @musicdoc1,

Many thanks – I’ve done some digging and it looks like, this relates to this plugin, which is now retired, (I think fairly recently): https://wordpress.org/plugins/grunion-contact-form/

This plugin is built into some now, retired themes – for instance forthehellofitreviews.wordpress.com, uses https://wordpress.com/theme/chateau/ which is now retired.

On the test sites, is this happening on retired themes?

Will this present any problems for me? Do I need to choose a new theme?

Hey @aleone89 Could it have been a transient issue with the Classic Editor plugin?

I saw this banner earlier today on one of my old sites using Twenty-Nineteen when I opened a new post using the Classic Editor, but now the banner no longer appears when I open the Classic Editor.

(temporary screenshots)

Does the banner still appear for you both @musicdoc1 and @shawnfrancis ?

@justjennifer,

Hi! : ) No, as of today, ~11 am, PDT, I’m no longer seeing it on any of my sites.

@aleone89,

Sorry about misspelling your username above. It had been affecting themes with both active and retired themes.

I meant “It had been affecting sites with both active and retired themes.”

It’s not appearing on my site either now.

Everyone: it was a bug that the development team found and fixed earlier today.

Let us know if you still have trouble!
