Plugin conflicts with my theme

@afroniquely – I am not completely sure I understand what is getting messed up. Do you have a link I can look at?

Here’s a screenshot of when the plugin is activated:

And here’s what’s supposed to happen (which also happens again once I disable the plugin).

how it should actually function!

How can I fix this issue??

Thanks

@afroniquely – Gotcha, I will have to look at the code, but it should simply be adding our classes to the end of the list not replacing the list. Though that doesn’t mean they are adding theirs the same way.

Hey Daniel, any updates on how to resolve this? I really don’t want to have to disable the Popup Maker because it works so wonderfully well for me, but I really need to get those formatting functions back in my theme dropdown menu.

Any idea what might be causing the conflict and where to fix it?

@afroniquely – This is on the list for this weeks patch. Will let you know once I have it worked out.

Hey Daniel!

Yep now I am able to see my theme’s formats again, but it seems the extra formats (the one now for the Popup Maker) is somehow also reading the information for the theme. In other words, both drop-down areas are now showing the same thing. It seems if the class used for the plugin wasn’t format-options or is something, that would probably remedy it. Not sure though.

@afroniquely – Do you mean that format drop down is appearing twice?

Yep..here’s a screenshot of what I see:

this is both of them before you click on them:
Both Format Areas

Here’s what the NewsPaper Theme by TagDiv does by default (it’s expected behaviour)
NewsPaper Formats Area

and here’s what I see when I click on the new one generated by PopUp Maker
PopUp Make Formats

So I’m not sure what’s causing that issue for the PopUp Maker format area.

@afroniquely – Ok I can make it so there is only one. I see what I did there. As for the items in the list, it seems your theme is overriding the list entirely as neither the defaults or our items are in the list.

Hmmm.. all in all, we can still just paste in the pop ups using Shortcodes right? If anything, I’ll just stick to that on my site, for fear that changing anything will again mess up the theme’s format box.

But I’m now still wondering. In the plugin’s function file, if you named it something else other than format_options, you think that would cause it to not get affected anymore?
