error logs - plugin versions

[shags38]

v157C with various plugins

I am getting 2 'admin' error logs that fire at the very same time and are obviously related - appears something is trying to update a plugin version (?) but I have no idea what to do to correct the situation so would appreciate some help please.

error message 1

You can turn off version checking for plugins

From what plugin is the init_zcb_config.php file?

From what plugin is the init_zcb_config.php file?

Colorbox for Zen Cart (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1322)

It does have an admin switch to disable version checking but for a reason I forget I didn't find that worked so ended up commenting out the Version Checking at the end of said file.

It's not using the current URLs for the Zen Cart version server. In /admin/includes/init_includes/init_zcb_config.php, find lines 107-108 (in v2.1.2):

$url1 = 'https://plugins.zen-cart.com/versioncheck/'.(int)$plugin_file_id;
$url2 = 'https://www.zen-cart.com/versioncheck/'.(int)$plugin_file_id;

and change to

$url1 ='https://ping.zen-cart.com/plugincheck/'.(int)$plugin_file_id;
$url2 = 'https://ping.zen-cart.com/zcversioncheck/'.(int)$plugin_file_id;
