    Hi,

    I have an unusual problem. I’ve installed popup maker, but I cannot find any menu item in the dashboard. It’s just not there.

    As there’s no menu item, I suceeded in configuring a popup through the welcome page, which opens after installing the plugin or also after deactivating and reactivating it (Welcome to Popup Maker 1.1.7 – Getting started), but there’s no menu item in the dashboard to be found.

    My template is from Artisteer, the multilanguage plugin is mqtranslate, the implemented languages are German and Italian.

    By the way a question: Is the plugin multilingual? The “close”-button appears just in English in both languages.

    Can somebody help me?

    The plugin is multi lingual as best it can be. We are still working towards 100% compatibility.

    As for the menu not showing up, sounds like you have some type of admin menu customization plugin installed. It should be below Pages.

    Hi,

    I have no admin menu customization plugin installed.

    But thank you for the information, that the menu item should be below pages
    This helped me finding the reason of the probem. If I deactivate the plugin “Yumpu ePaper publishing” (it has its menu item also below pages) the menu item of popup-maker appears, I I reactivate Yumpu ePaper, the menu item of popup-maker disappears.
    Unfortunately I need the yumpu plugin.

    If this problem happens with this plugin I suppose there could also be other plugins (always those who create their own menu item in the dasboard after pages) causing conflicts with your plugin? Do you see a possibility to solve this problem?

    I would really be happy to keep your plugin installed.

    We do everything by the book. By that I mean our plugins are written in a way to minimize conflict, by the WP doc suggested methods. Where can I find the plugin you are using “Yumpu”. It actually may be that they are doing it incorrectly.

    That said menu items should not be affected by another plugin adding a menu. Even if we both use position 26(just after pages), you can literally put 10 menus at that slot, they will simply appear in the order the plugins were activated.

    The only way a menu can be removed is by using wp functions to remove it. Not sure why but they may be removing other items at that position for some reason.

    Just checking now on the Yumpu plugin here on wp.org, they use menu position 21, and we use 20, so I’m stumped as to what it may be. Will have to test further.

    I found a solution that will suffice. I will add it in the next release.

    Apparently you can also use decimal positions which I will do with a long random decimal that shouldn’t be affected by any other plugin.

    Even the docs say though that if they put it on the same position it may be trouble, but both plugins use different positions, so not sure why that would matter.

    If you would like to modify the plugin before the update is released you can change the value in popup-maker/includes/post-types.php on line 43.

    Replace it with

    'menu_position' => 20.292892729,
