This notice relates to the following platform: WordPress.com VIP
The default behaviour of the WordPress.com platform can cause a white screen whilst rendering the front-end of a site, as login credentials are verified. To speed this up, we added an asynchronous login feature which, if you wished, you could opt out from.
However, this has caused some technical issues for some clients and, as a result, we have made the decision to make this opt-in. With immediate effect, asynchronous login has therefore been switched off.
What do I need to do?
If you had previously opted-out to asynchronous login with the WPCOM_DISABLE_ASYNC_REMOTE_LOGIN constant, then please remove this as the functionality no longer exists. This is optional, but recommended.
If you experience any issues with render blocking and would like to re-enable asynchronous login then please add the following code to your site…
if ( ! defined( 'WPCOM_ENABLE_ASYNC_REMOTE_LOGIN' ) ) {
define( 'WPCOM_ENABLE_ASYNC_REMOTE_LOGIN', true );
}
If you have any questions, please open a support ticket and we’ll be happy to assist.
