Plugin Compatibility

Our plugins are designed to work with most WordPress themes and plugins. Specific requirements for WordPress and PHP versions are included within each plugin's documentation.

General Compatibility​

All BracketSpace plugins work with properly coded WordPress themes and plugins that:

  • Follow WordPress coding standards
  • Use standard WordPress hooks and filters
  • Don't override core WordPress functionality

Common Issues​

Some plugin types may require special attention:

Caching Plugins: May need to exclude our plugin files from optimization or clear cache after updates.

Security Plugins: Aggressive firewalls might block AJAX requests - add exceptions if needed.

Performance Plugins: File minification can break JavaScript functionality - exclude our plugin files if issues occur.

Troubleshooting Conflicts​

Plugin Conflict Detection​

  1. Deactivate all plugins except ours
  2. Test functionality - does it work now?
  3. Reactivate one by one to find the culprit
  4. Find alternative or contact plugin author

Theme Conflict Detection​

  1. Switch to default theme (Twenty Twenty-Four)
  2. Test plugin features - working now?
  3. Contact theme developer about compatibility
