Please recommend me some plugins without conflict.

    Hello:

    The site I admin uses a few plugins to keep functioning, but the plugin conflicts and secondary problems has become just too much. The main three plugins I’m using to manage downloads (WP Filebase), keep forms(Contact Form 7) and add sliders (Soliloquy), simply hate each other, and the authors doesn’t seem to take very seriously my support requests.

    After a long painful road of testing, upgrading and building, I have finally decided to give up and begin from the basics.

    So, what I want to ask you people is:

    What arrangement of plugins WITHOUT CONFLICT do you recommend me to cover Forms (secure and not very simple ones, with an option to storage sent forms on Data Base); Download Management (With categories, user specific downloads and ideally some kind of stat record); and Sliders (Must allow 2 sliders on the home, and offer a way to use html slides, ideally dinamic)?

    I know the question sounds really huge, but it shouldnt be. After all, forms, download control and a neat presentation are very basic needs for a CMS website. Am I right?

    I’m using WordPress 3,6, btw.

    Please, please, help.

    What arrangement of plugins WITHOUT CONFLICT do you recommend me to cover…

    As far as I know, you can know if plugins conflict with each other, or your theme, can be found only after installing them. If they conflict, deactivate all of them, then activate theme one by one and identify the one that causes problems. Once you identify such a problematic plugin, you may delete it and install another plugin that can function similarly.

    I know, Krishna, and that’s my problem, because so far I haven’t found three plugins with the features I need that don’t conflict. I’m making test right now, but it feels like a blind battle, and I just don’t know what’s going to fail next.

    My question mainly points to not having to pass through that whole process of trial and error again (and again). I’m decided to pay for a good plugin set if I must, but I have already paid for some solutions that later conflict. I just can’t waste more time and money.

    I know there are people that actually have this kind of solution working, so I want to know their experience: what they know will work.

    It’s a myth as even bought out plugins can create conflicts

    I know there are people that actually have this kind of solution working

    Yet another myth, as what works for me need not work for you as we all use different hosting servers with different configurations, restrictions enforced by hosts, different themes, scripts, etc.

    The best you can do is either test these three plugins on a fresh test install of WordPress (with no other plugins and only the default theme) or test it locally (on an install locally).

    Thank you, Krishna, but I already have done this. I just want a better guide that just continuing the trial and error tests. Even if my server configuration is not the same as somebody else’s, just knowing of three plugins of this kind that do work toghether would be a great help.

    The standards and quality of code of your plugins can be tested using the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-check/
