How to force Screen Options to open?

Without knowing what plugin you’re using that is causing the conflict, no one is going to be able to help you because we can’t reproduce the problem for ourselves. If you want help, you have to provide people with the information necessary to examine the issue.

If you know for certain that there is a conflict with a specific plugin, your best option may actually be to contact the author of the plugin and report the bug so they can fix it and put a new release out.

Plugin is too heavy , I think, that’s why, author has made a great plugin, but it’s weight is 14 mb in zip and 24mb without zip, and I think that somehow restricts all these….

But I need some way to still open Screen Options….

yes, I wrote the author, he said, give me access and I will resolve it, but I’m asking you….

The only advice we can give is that you deactivate and/or delete that plugin.

nooo, everything is build around this plugin, this is the core of all project….

p.s. this is for travel/hotel booking/search – without this plugin/ function I can’t imagine booking site without booking engine

Then I am very sorry but we cannot help. ??

I doubt that the size of the plugin has anything to do with it. In all likelihood, it’s running some javascript that conflicts with the javascript that opens the Screen Options panel.

But like I said… without knowing what plugin you’re using and looking at its code, there’s no way we can track down said conflict and offer you a solution.

If you’re desperate, you could use the FireFox browser with FireBug installed, and try manually setting the css properties for the Screen Options panel any time you need to display them.

You would need to change <div id="screen-meta" class="metabox-prefs"> to <div id="screen-meta" class="metabox-prefs" style="display: block;"> and change <div id="screen-options-wrap" class="hidden"> to <div id="screen-options-wrap" class="hidden" style="display: block;">

It’s not exactly a fix, and you would have to do it every time you needed to view the panel… but if you’re desperate, it should work (assuming the conflict is *only* affecting the display of the panel and not it’s actual functionality).

ok, I’ll try….

jQuery(“#tabs”).tabs is not a function

Line 278

I installed FireBug and playing around….This is what it tells, what I can understand from it?

That’s usually a classic sign of a javascript conflict. If the problem goes away when you deactivate the plugin, then the conflict is between the plugin’s javascript and WordPress core’s javascript.

At this point, I think the only option you have is to ask the plugin author to fix his code so that it is compatible with WordPress core.

278. jQuery( “#tabs” ).tabs();

yeah, this is the line FireBugs tells is problem ??

well I am using gravity form & mural theme and am having the javascript issue. i am not able to open screen options or toggle any fields on edit pages. “edit#screen-options-wrap” any thoughts on how to resolve it?
