Conflict with PayPal gateway and WordPress Popular Posts

    It appears that the Woocommerce 3.6.2 and PayPal Gateway 1.6.11 conflicts with the WordPress Popular Posts plugin, which is a very popular plugin.

    Short version: Upgrading Woocommerce to 3.6.2 breaks the WordPress Popular Posts plugin, and it stops tracking stats.

    In testing, however, the developer of WordPress Popular Posts says he believes that it’s the PayPal Gateway plugin that may be causing the problem, rather than the main Woocommerce plugin itself.

    With Woocommerce 3.5.8 and PayPal Gateway 1.16.11, WordPress Popular Posts works properly. If I upgrade Woocommerce to 3.6.2, WPP stops tracking stats.

    If I then deactivate the PayPal Gateway plugin, WPP works again. Of course, then I cannot get paid. 🙁

    I opened a ticket on the Woocommerce support page two weeks ago. You can find the full details there:

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-3-6-2-upgrade-breaks-wordpress-popular-posts-2/

    Upgrading the Gateway from 1.6.11 to 1.6.14 did not fix the problem.

    Not sure what to do here.

    For now, I’ve reverted to running Woocommerce 3.5.8.

    Hi there @essmeier,

    Oh, this is an interesting one! So it does look like WordPress Popular Posts creates a conflict with PayPal Checkout and the latest WooCommerce version.

    Usually, we’d recommend contacting WPP plugin developers so they could tweak their plugin to be compatible with both WooCommerce 3.6.2 and PayPal Express Checkout 1.6.14, but in this case, I think a good idea for you would be also to post your issue on our GitHub repo here – https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout – so you can get another insight there.

    Cheers!
