Theme Incompatible – Can I fix?

    Hi,

    It took me time to figure it out, but it isn’t a plugin conflict. Using a theme called Socrates, I find that the dashboard doesn’t display the “Members” controls. I only have access to adding a Member from the “New” dropdown along the admin header bar.

    If I switch to the twenty-fourteen theme, all is as it should be.

    Can anything be done, short of scrapping the Socrates theme, to force it to accept the plugin? I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking it and for somebody like me who knows nothing about “hooks” and such terminology, I’m always surprised I don’t destroy a site (Copying and saving original files is a lifesaver for me).

    Any advice you might provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks you.

    By the way – awesome plugin for my union Local website!

    I actually just changed the menu position number in this plugin with the latest release to resolve a conflict with another plugin that another user was having. So, that would be the first place I would look if you have the latest version of the plugin and the Member section is not showing up in your dashboard.

    You can edit this is the code fairly simply to see if it fixes the problem. It’s near the top of the main plugin file, on line 82 if you use a text editor with line numbers. It’s in the array or arguments for the member custom post type. Look for the line inside the $args array that says:
    'menu_position' => 31,
    change the number 31 to some other number, and see if the menu item shows up.

    Sorry, didn’t list the file, but it’s the main one:
    pta-member-directory.php
