I spoke too soon. The codes appeared again. It seems that it is only related to that specific browser. When I view it from Android or Windows, I don’t generate those errors in the log.

Which Browser?  Do you have any add-ons or extension installed in that Browser.  Also sometimes something additional is blocked by BPS Pro, but the primary functionality of whatever a plugin or theme is doing is not blocked.  Example:  a mobile device is retrieving image files, but that mobile device is also trying to do additional things with additional scripts that BPS Pro will block.  Whatever those additional things are in those additional scripts are bad news if BPS Pro is blocking that.  The point is image files are retrieved successfully and whatever additional “bad” things are trying to be done are not allowed/blocked.

FYI – mobile devices have become a favorite tool for hackers and spammers these days for all the obvious reasons – portability, flexibility, etc.

The errors are generated from someone else. It looks like Safari 7 from the user agent string of:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 7_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0 Mobile/11D167 Safari/9537.53"

I’ll just let it go at this point since it is mobile. I don’t really need it to run those plugins.

Here is an online mobile device emulator test site.  I am not sure how accurate this is by doing emulation tests via your Desktop and whatever Browser you are using, but I assume these emulators are designed in a way that they are as accurate as possible.  I will split this topic up into separate topics since there are a few different tangents going on.  😉

This is good to know. Thanks!

[AITpro Admin]

Yep, very handy site.  It is actually a collection of links to other sites that specialize in different mobile device emulators.
This is a nice iPhone simulator/emulator.
