MailPoet affects icons of other plugins in beckend

    Hello,

    I noticed that when I’m in the MailPoet plugin, the Elementor and Wordfence icons change. For Elementor there is only a cog and for Wordfence there is no icon. When I am out of MailPoet, the icons are correct. I am using the latest version of all plugins and wordpress as of 2/27/2024. This is happening in the beckend.

    Here is the link where I put the screens.

    Hi there @woopi666,

    I’ve had a look at this issue and I’ve been able to duplicate it on my test site, which runs a pretty lean environment.

    The issue is that MailPoet blocks the loading of CSS files belonging to other plugins on the dashboard / admin side. This is to ensure that when working in the email designer, everything loads as it will actually be sent, and other plugin’s design choices can’t override the MailPoet designer, creating confusion.

    You can whitelist the CSS files required by Elementor and Wordfence to allow their icons to appear normally.

    Instructions on how to do this are here:

    Hello,

    yes I added the code to functions.php and the icons are now showing. It’s not a big deal, but I just wanted to point it out. Thank you for your reply and have a nice day.

    Hi again @woopi666,

    Agreed, it’s kind of a weird and disconcerting thing, and for other users as well, I think it was worth bringing up here!

    Suppressing CSS files from other plugins helps ensure the email designer works properly but it does create this (unexpected!) issue in the dashboard, so thank you for bringing it up and reminding the wider community of the workaround.

    Happy mailing!
