Shopp and BackUpWordPress Conflict

  • Hi,

    Just thought I would drop you a quick note to let you know that BackUpWordPress (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/backupwordpress/) conflicts with Shopp.

    When both are active and a user goes to the Edit Product screen, the following error is displayed:

    Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to ShoppUI::addmetabox() must be an instance of string, string given, called in /home/content/r/a/c/racetrack0508/html/wp-content/plugins/shopp/core/ui/products/ui.php on line 59 and defined in /home/content/r/a/c/racetrack0508/html/wp-content/plugins/shopp/core/flow/Admin.php on line 1067

    I have created a screencast – https://www.screenr.com/2PpN

    As you can see, around 1:08, when BackUpWordPress is activated, Edit Product produces the error mentioned above. As well, Catalog >> Products will only display one item and the Screen Options tab is not accessible.

    I have notified both the Shopp developers and the BackUpWordPress developers of this conflict. I know it’s rare, but hopefully you can work together to fix the issue.

    In the meantime, I have deactivated BackWordPressUp

    There is a similar error that was reported with Wishlist Member. That was fixed which may also fix this issue:

    Shopp and BackUpWordPress are at their current versions, so if an update has been released with with the fix you’ve mentioned, the specific issue with BackUpWordPress does still exist.

    Looks like this is an issue with Shopp, not sure why BackUpWordPress would trigger the error as it doesn’t interact with metaboxes at all.

    Happy to help out the Shopp dev’s with anything needed to get this resolved though.

    Shopp 1.3.4 was released and includes the fixes for this issue. Please update to the latest version of Shopp and post back here if it correctly fixes the issue for you.
