    Having a problem with passster. I am attempting to password protect an entire page within WordPress. On the sidebar, is the Passster toolbar. When I open a page this is automatically turned on with “Activate Protection” already engaged even though it is not actually engaged and is not prompting for a password. On another page that I currently have password protected if I try to disengage the “Activate Protection” button it shows it as disengaged but when I publish and reload it is still activated. I have tried engaging the “Use Ajax” button and it still does not work.

    Sidenote: the plugin is fully updated and has an “opt-in” message. I click it and it brings me to the settings but I have no idea how to opt in or what it means, not sure if this is the root of my issue.

    Hey @krisburke,

    thanks for your detailed error report!

    That does sound like a conflict with another plugin or theme.

    Have you tried disabling all plugins + switching to a standard theme, and checking again?

    This way, you will pretty surely find out which plugin is causing the trouble here once you found it, feel free to update the post here, and I will have a closer look to make it compatible! ??

    Best regards,

    Patrick

    So I one by one deactivated each plugin and I am still having the same problem. I also deactivated my builder program. Still having the same issue.

    FYI – I use Avada for my builder which I disabled and am still having the same problem

    Hey @krisburke,

    the problem is indeed the Avada theme (or more specifically the Fusion Builder).

    I already contacted them with the help of another user, but we’ve got the same standard reply as everyone else:

    “We have not officially tested this specific plugin with Avada so can not guarantee for its compatibility with our theme I am afraid, what I will recommend in this case is checking for another 3rd party plugin that is compatible with Avada in this case, As this is a 3rd party plugin, and we unfortunately cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with all plugins available.”

    If you do want to contact them yourself, here is the actual problem:

    Avada does seem to disable the Gutenberg editor (which is ok), but it also seems to block functions implemented alongside the editor.

    We need access to:

    – getEntityRecords
    – data stores

    Both are part of the WordPress Core:?https://developer.www.ads-software.com/block-editor/reference-guides/data/data-core/

    This isn’t really a thing we can fix within Passster, as we do need to at least be able to use WP core functions.

    Best regards,
    Patrick

    Same problem here, but I do not use the avada theme. I have a custom theme which is not the problem because I tested it with theme twenty-tenty also and the problem is still occuring. I use custom post types events because I use eventsmanagerpro on this site. Except Events Manager / Events Manager Pro & Passter no plugin is running.

    I saw that in all posts which use the Gutenberg Editor, it’s working. But I don’t use Gutenberg and Events Manager also does not use the Gutenberg Editor. In all these pages/posts the problem occurs.

    Simply try to install Disable Gutenberg and have a look at the posts. Does not work. Disable the plugin and it works.

    So you should announce that the plugin only works with Gutenberg, so it won’t work for me…

    I use WP 6.1.1 and PHP 7.4.33

    Hey @just4me67,

    thanks for your follow-up here!

    Passster also works with the Classic Editor (it took some time to ensure that, but it does work with Gutenberg and the Classic Editor).

    However, I wasn’t aware of another plugin that disables Gutenberg (only tested with Classic Editor) – I will check that and release a patch next week!

    Passster does rely on scripts from WordPress Core that where shipped with the Gutenberg introduction, but not on the editor itself.

    However, due to the large changes in WordPress since the Block Editor introduction, we have two different worlds now (Classic vs. Gutenberg), and I’ve done my best to support both. Still, if folks like Avada refuse to stay compatible with core, it’s almost impossible to support them in the future.

    Best regards,

    Patrick

    Hey @just4me67 and @krisburke ,

    it’s fixed now!

    It’s now compatible with Classic Editor and Disable Gutenberg.

    I also implemented a fallback solution if core data is blocked by another product now, so it should as well work fine with Avada and other themes now.

    Best regards,
    Patrick

    I just updated the plugin and YES it is working fine now!

    Thanks a lot for the quick fixing.

    Bets regards,
    Elmar
