update: My mistake. The links are there.

FINAL update: I’ve found a nice way to re-encode the pre_option filter that the event calendar plugin doesn’t mind.

May I ask ‘sallymoos’ to test the new version before I release it? I can email it to you, or provide instructions to apply the change to your current install.

Please let me know.

I’ve tracked this down to one line:

add_filter(‘pre_option_default_comment_status’, array(&$this, ‘disable_page_comments_default’));

It doesn’t matter what function I link to, even a blank one. Any attempt to filter the pre_option_default_comment_status (the core purpose of my plugin) makes their plugin fail. I believe this to be a problem with their security checks possibly.

This is why legacy mode still works for you. It was implemented before that filter was available and uses a manual javascript method to uncheck the boxes for you ??

It looks to me like a problem with their plugin that I can’t easily work around. I’ll let them know about this as I can see they are good coders and should be able to handle the feedback.

In short: Just use legacy mode and you are fine.

As a repeair for my plugin, I could change

add_filter(‘pre_option_default_comment_status’, array(&$this, ‘disable_page_comments_default’));

to

add_filter(‘default_comment_status’, array(&$this, ‘disable_page_comments_default’));

And this also resolves the conflict, but I need to test other impacts of that change.

Still getting to the bottom of this, but there IS a quick workaround: Setting Page Comments Off Please to ‘Legacy Mode’ will resolve this conflict.

I have verified that both plugins will work as designed with this configuration ??

Glad to know we got your WP core fixed.

Regarding adding events: I am able to add events in a wp 4.4 website that is running Page Comments Off PLease and https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/event-organiser/

Everything is working fine with this plugin. I am able to create events, edit them, everything, Will now disable that and test the following:

I have verified the problem reported by Sallymoos. (THANK YOU!)

I’m not sure at this point which developer is causing collisions. I’ll investigate this and issue any appropriate updates at once. Thanks again!

After reviewing that you have posted this to several plugin developers – I suspect that your update had a problem. You might want to re-install your wordpress core?

Further testing steps pursued:
1. Updated the plugin to a new version with added security and tested-up-to tag.
2. Deleted plugin from test website, while events plugin was running.
3. Re-installed page-comments-off-please with the latest version.

Still no replication of the error.

I wonder if it’s a mysql version problem? (I am testing with v5+)

Additional information:
There are many even organization plugins, I want to verify that you mean this one:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/event-organiser/

Since my first tries have not replicated this, these questions might help:
1. Which version of event-organiser are you using? 2.13.7?
2. Are you using the pro or free version?
3. What settings are you using with page comments off please?

IF you wish, I could take a look your site…

Debug process notes:

1. Verified normal operation with WP 4.4. on a test website install.
2. Installing ‘event organiser plugin’
3. The plugin operates normally, as does page comments off please.

So far, I am unable to replicate this with the information you’ve kindly provided. May I ask a few more questions?

1. Which plugin did you install first?
2. When are you getting this error? (during install? on admin pages? on website pages?)
3. What theme are you using?

Currently, https://techism.com is using both plugins and appears to operate normally. I will eagerly repair this as soon as I can replicate. Thank you!

Thanks for reporting this! I’ll take a look right away and issue an update if I can source the problem to my plugin.

Ok – thanks for the feedback. I wish I knew what the trouble was for you, but I can’t replicate any error. If anyone else out there has this trouble, please let me know right away. I’d love to know your stats, like hosting env, php version, etc.

Thanks.

Here is a quick video i’ve made to demonstrate two things:

1. How the plugin works
2. To show that it is in fact working fine in this version.

This plugin does not affect the location, presence, or operation of the comment checkboxes, other than to alter their default state. By default, new pages will not have comments checked. To turn off comments on EXISTING pages, you need to go to the plugin settings page, under settings->page comments off please. If you don’t see that then make sure you have hte plugin activated.

To access checkboxes for you comments in wordpress, you ust use the screen-options dialog – it’s a pull down atop the page you are editing – that’s just wordpress and has nothing to do with me.

Hope that helps. I’ve verified that the plugin is working fine under this version.

More like hard to keep track of my tabs ??

AGGG!!! All apologies. This is actually a great plugin.
