How To Check For WordPress Plugin Conflicts

How To Check For WordPress Plugin Conflicts

OptinMonster uses WordPress best practices to be as compatible as possible with other plugins. But sometimes other developers don’t also follow these standards. As a result, there can be occasional theme or plugin conflicts with OptinMonster.

In this article, we’ll show you how to determine if the problem you’re experiencing with OptinMonster is caused by a theme or plugin conflict. If you find that your problem persists after following these steps, please contact support.

How to Test for Plugin Conflicts

To test for a plugin conflict, follow these steps:

  1. Deactivate all non-OptinMonster plugins.
  2. Switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-Three.
  3. Test to see if the problem still exists.

What to Do if the Problem No Longer Exists

If deactivating non-OptinMonster plugins resolves the issue, that means you have a plugin conflict between our plugin and something on your site.

Here’s how to find out what’s causing the problem:

  1. Activate one deactivated plugin. Test to see if the problem still exists.
  2. Repeat step 1 for every plugin.
  3. Switch back to your theme. Test to see if the problem still exists.

Once you discover which plugin is causing the issue, you can report the conflict to the developer of the conflicting plugin or theme, and file a bug report for our development team.

What to Do if the Problem Remains

Please file a bug report so we can look into the issue.

OptinMonster has transformed our business. Before integrating their optins, our clients saw a 2% conversion rate from web traffic, which is slightly above the standard for their industry. With the integration of OptinMonster’s lightbox popup, exit-intent technology, split testing, and other tools, our client’s conversion rates soared by an unprecedented 500%. They attracted substantially more customers while spending less on digital advertising. Their success propelled them to the top of their markets, outperforming national chains and other medical spas with much bigger marketing budgets. Our client’s success in their market has distinguished us in our own. We are now one of the most sought-after marketing firms in the industry of aesthetic medicine. We know that the integration of OptinMonster, more than any other tool or marketing strategy, has supported this growth and achievement.

Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.
