Strange Behavior on Multisite

Turns out it is a conflict with the french language .mo file. I can set it to any other language and it works.

Someone else was having this problem but was not clear on how to fix… https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-allow-php-in-posts-and-pages-problem-when-using-french-version-of-wordpress?replies=2

Says it was solved with a different language file but I have been unable to find another version of fr_FR.mo so the problem persists.

Got the file (that doesn’t work) from here
https://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/

Correction I’m using the WordPress Language plugin
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wordpress-language/

And there are conflicts with other languages as well

Okay the fix that worked for me was instead of putting my php in the page itself I entered it as a snippet in General Options under Allow PHP in Post and Pages at the bottom of the lefthand menu in the WordPress admin and then included it in the page using the supplied shortcode.

Hope it helps someone else!
