Displaying Form BELOW Author Box

Hey Thomas,

both plugins use the add_filter method to display their own code after the post content is loaded.

This is the code from Optin Forms, located in /includes/functions-forms.php at line 144:

add_filter( "the_content", "optinforms_insert_form_after_post" );

This is the code from Birds Author Box, located in /public/frontend.php at line 46:

add_filter('the_content', 'birds_authorbox_add_post_content', 0);

As you can see, the code from Optin Forms does not have a priority number, whereas the code from Birds Author Box does (that’s the zero at the end of the line).

Without a priority number (case Optin Forms), the priority defaults to 10. So Optin Forms has a priority of 10. This means, that any other instances with a higher priority (for instance 5) will load before Optin Forms.

Since Birds Author Box has got 0 as priority, this means it is loaded first.

Simply changing the priority number from 0 to 20 on my test website made the optin form appear first and the author box appear second.

Simply update the number in the mentioned file and re-upload to your server. One negative aspect of doing this is that you would need to re-do it each and every time the Birds Author Box plugin gets updated, so it would be even better to contact the author and have them lower the priority.

Let me know if you require further assistance.

Jesus, you are the man, Boris!!

You have really went above an beyond, going into not only your code but the Birds Author Box code as well and testing it. You really set the bar for all other plugin developers. Simply amazing.

What I ended up doing was setting the priority of the optin form to ‘0’ and the Birds Author Box plugin box to ‘1’ because, for some reason, setting it to anything above 10 would cause it to bunch up like this:

Don’t worry, this problem is resolved now with the optin form at 0 and the author box at 1, but just thought this was a weird side effect and I have no idea why the 0-1 thing worked but setting the author box to a number between 11-20 didn’t. Odd.

Thanks again man!

You’re welcome Thomas ??
