    There is a conflict with this plugin and the MyArcade plugin. Whenever I enable this plugin, the “MyArcade” link is removed from the left-hand-side of the screen of the Dashboard.

    Any ideas as to why your plugin is removing the link and/or how I go about fixing the problem?

    If you send us your URL and WP admin details in a private message, then we can have a look.

    Mmm, strange one, it is still accessible if you know the links:
    /wp-admin/admin.php?page=myarcade_admin.php

    I’ll alert Stiofan for you so he can have a look.

    Unfortunately though, I don’t know the url to the other links that shows-up on the left-hand-side of the screen once you click the “My Arcade” link (there’s about 4-5 of them that used to appear).

    Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to this being resolved.

    The admin of MyArcade posted the fix. See below:

    Open the file “geodirectory-admin/admin_functions.php” and search for this line:

    add_menu_page(__('Geodirectory', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN ), __('Geodirectory', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN ), 'manage_options','geodirectory' , 'geodir_admin_panel', geodir_plugin_url() . '/geodirectory-assets/images/favicon.ico',55);

    Replace with:

    add_menu_page(__('Geodirectory', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN ), __('Geodirectory', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN ), 'manage_options','geodirectory' , 'geodir_admin_panel', geodir_plugin_url() . '/geodirectory-assets/images/favicon.ico',56);

    Hi,

    the problem will appear again when we update geodirectory. Given that we update on avarage every 15 days, while they last updated 6 months ago, I think it would be safer for you to change its menu priority rather than GD menu priority.

    Thanks

    Shouldn’t the permanent fix to the problem be handled on the GeoDirectory end – considering that your plugin is causing the conflict?

    Just a note, I’m not a dev… I just re-posted the temporary fix that the MyArcade admin posted.

    We just discovered that WP recently introduced decimals for menu priorities, so in the next version we will assign it a number that is unlikely to be used by anyone else.

    Thanks

    p.s. It isn’t GD causing a conflict, we just chose the same priority (55). Our plugin overwrites theirs because wp handles plugin activation alphabetically and GeoDirectory coming after Arcade overwrites it. If he’s smart, he will change his to decimal too, but seeing how little updates he provide, I doubt he will.
