WordPress Plugins Activation Order
I just noticed an issue with the way that WordPress handles the plugins activation. A couple of WordPress users have reported that when they activate Social Bookmarks, the plugin activates and operates as advertised but the AJAX features of the WordPress Dashboard break. I have tried for a while now to replicate the issue and I was unable to.
Last night I noticed that my NextGen Gallery AJAX stopped working. When a plugin breaks usually the problem lies with a plugin update that follows the programming pattern that is known as sloppy coding.
I started disabling all the plugins one by one until the AJAX functionality was working. However, I ended up disabling all the plugins as I could not spot an offending plugin.
I re-activated the NextGen Gallery and the AJAX features of the gallery were working fine. I activated all my other plugins and this time the Dashboard AJAX did not break. My conclusion is that WordPress 2.7 is a bit picky about the order with which the plugins are activated.
I cannot see the images for my bookmarks in either the options dashboard or on my blog. The text is there, and the links are active, but just a red x where the logo image is supposed to be.
Hi,
Having the same problem with Featured Content Gallery 3.2.0. It stops working after activating social bookmarks. I tried de and reactivating several plug-ins, but still couldn’t get it to work once social bookmarks was reactivated. FCG immediately starts working again once SB is deactivated. Any suggestions how else to fix this? thanks.
Hi,
I have a little problem with this plugin.
I use the mystique theme. I translated the theme and everything works fine till i turn on this plugin.
When i do that the translation for the theme disappears (the plugin works ok and i can switch between languages) when i turn it off the theme translation work ok. Any idea on how to fix it?
I had the same problem with the NextGen plugin awhile back on our blog. I ended up exporting all the articles and redoing it from scratch. Just found this post – wish I could have tried it before. Oh well. Thanks for info though
I agree with you with the order of the plugin’s activation. Contact Form 7 does not want to work with my other plugins … but not always the same
I agree with your plugin activation order, but had some problem also with nextgen plugin, thanks
