jQuery UI problem with another plugin

  • HI,

    I have a jquery conflict with the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget and WPReviews plugin https://authorhreview.com/wp-reviews/

    The plugin author of WP Reviews wrote the following thing:
    “I found a conflict with the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, deactivating that plugin remove the conflict. If you don’t need this plugin, please deactivate it.

    The other way is to stop the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget from loading jQuery or jQuery UI, or maybe stop loading it on the front end”

    QUESTIONS:
    1- Can this be done: stop loading jQuery or jQuery UI from the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget?
    2- The author of WP review deactivated the Black Studio TinyMCE plugin to see if this plugin was in conflict with his plugin. But by deactivating the plugin all the content & widgets (on my homepage) are gone… Is this normal that by deactivating the plugin everything is lost?

    Hope te hear from you soon.

    Kind regards,

    Jan

    Hello,
    unfortunately I cannot conduct a real test since the plugin you’re talking about is commercial and I don’t have a license for it, but I’m available to help you solve the issue.

    1. Our plugin does not load jQuery or jQuery UI (nor any other javascript) in the frontend, so if the javascript conflict appears in the frontend it is 100% not caused by our plugin. Moreover in the backend, jQuery is loaded using WordPress standards, so it must be compatible with all the plugins which follow WordPress guidelines. There are plugins that come with their own jQuery version but this not recommended, as this may bring to conflicts and problems (unfortunately I can’t tell if the WPReviews plugin uses its own jQuery or the one provided by WordPress – in the first case I suggest to change it).

    2. When you deactivate the plugin all the contents are not lost. They’re just sitting in the database, but they will not appear as the plugin code which would show them, is not executed because of the deactivation. All the content will be back when you activate the plugin again.

    Dear Marco,

    Thanks for the quick respons!
    I contacted the author of WPReviews again with your explanation. I hope to hear from him soon…

    Regarding the lost content: the plugin was activated again, but all the content in the widgets is gone (not only the content, but also the widgets in the different widget areas) Do you have any idea how I can replace the content in another way?

    Cheers,Jan

    Hi Jan,
    regarding the lost content, it seems very strange that the widgets disappeared. I believe they were manually removed (or scrambled) from someone manually (via the widgets interface or directly from the database) or from a messy script/plugin. I.E. This may happen if you do a textual search/replace without handling properly the serialized fields (see this script to perform search/replace operations on WP databases).
    You can check the presence of BSTM widgets in the database, inside the wp_options table, looking for options named widget_XXX_black-studio-tinymce (where XXX is a number).
