Sorry, no german

Competing plugin ucan-post seems similarly effected based upon a quick test at their demo website : http://cartpauj.icomnow.com/ucan-demo/?ucanaction=ucanpublish

I assume TDO Mini Forms is also effected as their download has been removed much as quick post widget

Cheers and thanks for the original info… working to fix my install or release patched fork.
