Conflict with Stop Spammers

Hi Eric,

Thank you for letting me know! The problem is that the Stop Spammers plugin is loading its admin CSS and JS in all admin pages, instead of loading them only in its own admin pages, like plugins should do. In this case the conflict is easy to fix because it’s a CSS conflict: both plugins use the ‘modal-window’ class name for some elements and the Stop Spammers CSS overrides the Accordion’s CSS. To fix it you need to add this CSS in order to force the accordion’s style:

.modal-window {
    position: relative !important;
    padding: 30px !important;
    background-color: #FFF !important;
    display: block !important;
    left: auto !important;
    transform: none !important;
    top: auto !important;
    border-radius: 0 !important;
}

If you have some plugin that loads custom CSS in the admin, you can use that. The accordion also has a premium add-on that can do that and more. Another option would be to copy-paste that code in the accordion’s admin css: wp-content/plugins/accordion-slider/admin/assets/css/accordion-slider-admin.css (and accordion-slider-admin.min.css), but this edit will be lost after an update, so it’s not the best idea to edit the plugin’s files directly. The best solution would really be for Stop Spammers developers to load the plugin’s admin scripts only in its own admin area, which is a recommended practice and easy to do.

Hello David,
Thank you for your explanation and response.
I pasted your CSS code in de Code Snippets plugin that I use but I’m afraid the code isn’t strong enough. I let the snippet run everywhere but has no effect.

Are you sure the CSS snippet is loaded in the admin area as well, on all pages? Can you see the code if you look at the HTML source code of the page? If it’s set up correctly, maybe try to clear the browser/site cache.

I pasted the code directly in the files but no change..
I’m on this page wp-admin/admin.php?page=accordion-slider&id=6&action=edit where I can’t go any further.
If I search in html source code I find accordion-slider-admin.min.css loaded.

Hi Eric,

I’ve tested the code, both by adding it in the CSS files and separately, and it solved the problem. Please check if you copied the code correctly. Also, check if the custom CSS is inside the accordion-slider-admin.min.css or accordion-slider-admin.css file. I can take a look myself if you post a link to the site.

Hello David,
I’ve taken the shortcut and deleted the Stop Spammers plugin.
I’ve installed Akismet.
See what happens, else I’ll be back ??
Thanks for your effort,
Greetings, Eric

You’re welcome, Eric! If you ever try to fix this in the future, let me know if you need assistance. The fix worked in my tests.

Best,
