Okay, I can’t be the only one with this question. Or is the answer so simple noone wants to bother?
I tried again today to upload some new widgets/plugins and EVERY ONE of them blocked use of the Plugins page and created the “Open php file” popup.
9 completely different plugins.
I am using a theme called Darkwater that was supposed to be compatible with the most recent WP versions and widgets.
So … please help me figure this out.
Well, I took some advice from another post that seemed to be smart … use process of elimination! As I sincerely doubted there was a theme problem it had to be a plugin problem.
So, I deactivated all current plugins, uploaded all the plugins I wanted to use and refreshed to see if there was a plugin page lockup. Everything seemed okay.
Then I activated each plugin one at a time, refreshing, going somewhere else in the dashboard, and visiting the site each time.
Everything worked until I activated a certain plugin, eventually I found that 3 of the plugins I want to use are incompatible with some of the other plugins.
So … remember … plugins can interfere with each other.
I’ve had some of the same problems. Is there a way to tell which plug-ins work with each other? I’m new to all of this, so I was wondering how configuration management is maintained.
I am having the exact same problem with the plugin and am also frustrated with the way the forum works. Not the people on the forum… just the forum program.
Anyhow, I also noticed that I can still use all of the plugins that I installed before I ran into this problem but I can’t add new ones. Fortunately, my core plugins are working fine.
I would love to see someone help us with this problem.
I have also found out that sometimes it is the order in which a plugin is activated! So, if two plugins seem to react against each other, deactivate/delete them and reinstal and activate in a different order! OY!
