Plugin Incompatibility, ajax calls, ..workaround?

    Hi – there is a third party plugin that I have purchased, that makes ajax calls when a user accesses a given page.

    Interestingly, this plugin only works when Plugin Organizer is deactivated. Before I noticed this, the developer wrote “it is also possible that another plugin is preventing non-logged user to perform AJAX calls (As a kind of security measure)”. Is that the case with Plugin Organizer?

    I have tried to setup a filter to with the address of the page where I am using that plugin to disable Plugin Organiser on that page (I don’t know if that makes sense?) but that did not get rid of the problem. Is there a way to target ajax calls to disable plugin organiser just for those?

    Thank you! ??

    You probably disabled the plugin on the target of the Ajax calls for that plugin. It’s not an incompatibility. If you disable a plugin globally and it does an Ajax hit. Then it will be disabled on the page where it is sending the Ajax. Which is usually /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

    Basically the current problem is now like this: when plugin organiser is active plugins screen (in wp dashboard) the other plugin works but its ajax calls fail, so it renders incompletely. When I completely deactivate plugin organizer, it works perfectly.

    I tried to disable plugin organiser on the page where I need that plugin (from the metabox) but it didn’t change anything – so I am wondering whether there is a logic loop there – (can it can disable itself when it is already disabled!?) If not, what would be the best way to get this thing to work?

    Thank you : ))))

    Create a plugin filter with https://www.whatteveryourdaminnameis.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php as the permalink. Then enable the plugin you are experiencing problems with on that plugin filter. I’m guessing you disabled the plugin globally or on a plugin filter that is causing it not to load on the admin-ajax.php page. If the plugin is doing an ajax call to a different url you will need to add a plugin filter for that url and enable the plugin.
