I&#8217;m not sure if you know what that means to us that are here, but basically it pauses any callout to Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube&#8230; anything that is blocked, and makes a decision on what to do. The call will either be let through or blocked. This slows us down a whole lot.<\/p>\n<p>We love Events Pro and want to start using some of the modules but we need to resolve this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Issue 1: Google Maps. This appears to be default. Sometimes the firewall lets you through for a map, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t. Is there an alternative that can be used? If so, is it possible to swap it out for Google Maps?<\/p>\n<p>Issue 2: Social Media. I see in the User forms I am able to hide the display to these options easily and just need to maintain this during the updates. I&#8217;m concerned I may have missed something that can cause issues, for example, an Array variable with missing vars that sql will be looking for when reading\/writing to the database. I want to keep the feature for the user to get gCal and iCal data but need to remove anything that requires or lets a user callout to most social media &#8211; LinkedIn has no problems and we would like to keep it available. If one of our users clicks a link to FB, they are at high risk of acquiring a viral redirect.<\/p>\n<p>Issue 3: Cross functionality with other plugins. Will correcting any of the above cause an issue with other WP Plugins like Simple:Press?  <\/p>\n<p>All assistance in this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-972796","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Great Firewall of China slows us down -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/the-great-firewall-of-china-slows-us-down\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Great Firewall of China slows us down -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi Our site is behind the great firewall of China.
