Plugin deactivates Screen Options

  • Hi,

    I realized that “Screen Options” in “Pages” stopped working. When I click the Screen Option button, it just disappears. After searching these forums, I found that some plugins can interfere with functionality.

    After deactivating various plugins, I narrowed it down to PHP Event Calendar. When I deactivate it, Screen Options works on the Pages menu.
    When I reactivate it, the menu stops working.

    My question is twofold:
    -How can I fix this? I really want the calendar, it fulfills an important role on my site.
    -Even when the plugin is turned off and i can access the menu, when i turn off “comments” for a particular page, it still allows for comments (refreshed the page multiple times and restarted the browser as well). With the before mentioned plugin activated, I cannot even access the Screen Option menu. When I deactivate the plugin, I can access the menu, but the “deactivate comments”-options doesn’t work.

  • Try a different plugin? ??

    Have you posted on the forum for that plugin?

    Have you narrowed down what may be causing the problem on your site – usually a conflict with another plugin or your theme?

    Some developers may be able to work with you to get this type of problem solved, others not so much due to time or other reasons.

    I have tried to deactivate all plugins, and when I re-activate only the calendar, it produces the same error (i.e. it’s not a plugin vs other plugin incompatibility)

    If I switch back to the original standard theme, or any of the other “recommended” themes, it behaves in exactly the same way, so the error seems to run deeper than just a conflict against a specific theme.

    I can try to contact the author(s) of the calendar plugin and see if they can help.

    Sounds like a good approach! If it’s a plugin from this site, you can post on the sub-forum for that plugin.

    Posted a question here:
    Post
    Is that the right place?

    Yep, perfect :)! So I’ll go ahead and close this one (generally we do that on these forums so people don’t have more than one thread on the same question – too confusing!)
