Please spread the word!&#8221; has clearly been a <em>success<\/em>&#8230;given my 4 followers&#8230;!  It pops up on my Contact page.  Again, the only people regularly commenting on my page are just sending spam.  I&#8217;m still waiting for a genuine comment from a stranger.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>So, how do I stop this pop up that&#8217;s now irratating me?  Here I have to pause and do some Googling.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Hmm.  That was more of a holiday than a pause!  Google didn&#8217;t actually help me a lot, but did lead me to the conclusion that a plug-in was somehow involved.  I found the culprit was <strong>Ultimate&nbsp;Social&nbsp;Media&nbsp;Icons&nbsp;<\/strong>plugin.  <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/popupplugin-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-825\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>I have now said &#8216;no&#8217; to the pop up and saved the changes.  In fact, I think it has been misbehaving anyway.  I had requested the pop up only appears on certain pages, but I think it was ignoring me!  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>I shall just check if all is working as it should be.   All seems to be pop-up free!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first created my blog, I think I said &#8216;yes&#8217; to every option, including pop ups. &#8220;Enjoy Smudge on the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smudgeonthelens.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
