WordPress plugins and themes incompatible with CiviCRM

Because of the huge number and ever-changing nature of community contributed WordPress plugins, CiviCRM cannot guarantee compatibility with contributed plugins. The following information may be of use in trying to identify conflicts, Please add to/edit this information as applicable.

Super Cache

  • Version: 1.4
  • Information last updated on: 2016-02-25
  • Reporter: aglozier/krypto

  • Problem:

    Cached contribution pages don't work - presumably related to sessions / keys in Civi. (A previous issue, now fixed: page won't cache if they have anything in $_GET. Civi adds a parameter to this, so no page is ever cached)

  • Workaround:

    Add the CiviCRM querystring to the excluded pages in Super Cache's settings. This won't work if you use the shortcode embed method, though - you'll need to exclude each individual page (or shove the whole lot into an /civi/ basepage or something, and exclude that).

    (For the never-caching-anything problem, edit wp-cache-phase2.php to change two if statements - see details below.) 

  • Other comments:

    It seems like it'd be fairly quick to write a plugin for Super Cache that turns off the cache if it detects the shortcode: http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache-developers/.

Font Emoticons

  • Information last updated on: 2016-02-25
  • Reporter: haystack

  • Problem:

    Makes text replacements in inline Javascript, e.g. with no spaces "( i )" becomes causing errors in Civi's javascript.

  • Workaround:

    You can conditionally use remove_filter() to stop the plugin from parsing 'the_content' when Civi content is present. Or disable the plugin.

  • Information last updated on: 2016-1-14
  • Reporter: Graham

  • Problem:

    Causes conflict with Backbone JQuery calls, mainly noticed in Events -> Manage -> Online Registration

  • Workaround:

    Currently using Theme Test Drive plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-test-drive/ - as a way of enabling admin users to run a different theme when they are logged in, and so workaround the issue. Perhaps a useful thread - http://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/11946/dequeue-backbone-from-theme-load-and-load-civicrm-backbone
