Screen Options Tab

    Plugin causes the Screen Options meta link tab to show on all admin pages even when no screen option content is available. Tab is active and scrolls empty offscreen content panel partially into view. Because tab shows on all admin pages it creates a UX issue. I am able to hide on pages with simple CSS but hoping a more elegant fix is queued.

    Hi @atomiccherry ,

    Thanks for coming today!

    I checked my demo site again, but did not see such issue.

    Could you please send a full screenshot or screencast showing how that issue looks like?

    Kind regards,
    Bruce

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I’ve created a few screenshots to show before and after activation on 2 sample pages (core Tools page and plugin WPCodebox page).

    Tested with 3 themes (Blocksy, Bricks, and Twenty Twenty One). Tested with fresh install, no other plugins active and then with only other plugin active being WP Codebox.

    Tested on PHP v7.4.1 and v8.0, NGINX and Apache. Multiple browsers.

    FastDup enabled

    Hope this helps! ??

    Hi @atomiccherry ,

    I checked on my demo site and don’t see the issue, please see my screencast:

    In this case, it seems it is not a general issue, so you can reach our dev team to help you check it:

    Thanks for the screencast. However, if you use a clean install with no other plugins active and using any of the default WordPress themes there is no empty Screen Options tab. This I believe is the correct behavior. If other plugins are also causing this issue that is unrelated behavior.

    It isn’t just the Tools screen that is affected. All other screens show the Screen Options tab when FastDup is enabled and it interferes with the proper display of some screens as in the example I provided. This is unintended behavior.

    For now, I’ll just have to forgo using your plugin since if affects the UX of some of the more critical plugins in my installs.

    Thanks for the fast response.

    This appears to be the file and filter causing the issue:

    MetaBox.php
    line 64: add_filter(‘screen_options_show_screen’, array($this, ‘remove_screen_options’));

    It also prevents me from using another filter array to hide the tab, thus needing to rely on CSS.

    Commenting out this line resolves the problem for me.

    Hi @atomiccherry ,

    Glad to know you figured it out anyway!

    I will also forward this to our dev unit in case there is anything they need to do.

    Kind regards,

    As a note

    Apparently, this issue was fixed in one of our updates.
