Conflict with WPML 4.0.1

Resolved

(@dcgavril)

Hello,

When I have the Simple History plugin active on a multi-language website that uses WPML 4.0+ the plugin conflicts with WPML on the Admin dashboard and because of that the JetPack SiteStats doesn’t load anymore and in the console I get an error with WPML and Simple History Filter Dropin.

I have disabled the plugin and everything is working fine again. I actually have multiple installations of WPML+SimpleHistory (+ different themes and plugins) and on all of them I have the same issue.

The error in the console is:


Uncaught Error: Option 'multiple' is not allowed for Select2 when attached to a <select> element.

Thanks for the bug report. I can confirm that I get the same message after installing WPML 4.

I looked into the issue and this is caused by the fact that mulitple versions of Select2 is loaded on the page. Simple History uses the latest version of Select 2 (version 4.0.5) while WPML uses an old version from 2014 (select2 version 3.5.2). The new version of the plugin is incompatible with the old version.

I think that using the latest version of the plugin is the correct approach (other big plugins like WooCommerce also uses the latest version) so I will not modify Simple History to fix this. I would reach out to WPML and ask them to up upgrade their version of Select2, to fix this issue (that they probably have with other plugins too).
