Two plugins interfere with each other, causing broken functionality or errors.
Plugin Conflict with Another Plugin
Key Points: Activating both plugins breaks site features or shows errors in admin/front-end.
You install a great contact form and an amazing cache plugin — and suddenly, the form stops working. One plugin breaks the other, and now you’re debugging a digital fistfight.
🤺 Common Conflict Symptoms
- JS or CSS fails to load correctly
- AJAX calls or forms stop responding
- Errors in console or server logs
🛠️ How to Troubleshoot
- Deactivate one plugin at a time and reload the site
- Check browser console for JavaScript errors
- Search plugin support forums for known conflicts
- Report the issue to both plugin developers with as much detail as possible
⚖️ Suggestion
Favor well-maintained plugins with large user bases — they’re more likely to play nicely together.
