WordPress Plugin / Theme Conflict Fix
Plugin conflicts are frustrating because the symptom rarely points at the cause. Isolating them is a methodical process, and doing it on a staging copy means your live site is not repeatedly broken while you search.

Symptoms I see with this.
If any of these describe what you're looking at, this is the right fix. If you're not sure, describe it and I'll point you at the right one.
- Something stopped working after an update, with no error shown
- Two plugins work individually and break together
- A feature works for admins but not for logged-out visitors
- Layout breaks only on certain page templates
- JavaScript errors in the browser console
What usually causes it.
In roughly the order I check them. Knowing the likely causes is what makes a fix fast rather than exploratory.
Duplicate library versions
Two plugins bundling different versions of the same JavaScript library. Whichever loads last wins, and the other silently breaks.
Competing hooks and filters
Both plugins modifying the same output with conflicting assumptions. The behaviour depends on load order, which is why it can look random.
Theme overriding plugin templates
A theme carrying stale copies of plugin templates. After the plugin updates, the stale override breaks — very common with WooCommerce.
PHP or CSS namespace collisions
Two plugins declaring the same function or using the same generic CSS class names, so one overwrites the other.
What the job includes.
- Isolation performed on a staging copy, not your live site
- The specific conflicting pair identified
- Conflict resolved so both pieces of functionality still work
- Stale theme template overrides updated where that was the cause
- Verification as a logged-out visitor, not just as an administrator
- 14-day correction guarantee
Questions, answered.
Can't I just deactivate plugins one by one myself?
You can, and it works — it also means repeatedly breaking your live site in front of visitors. I do it on a staging copy, which is faster and invisible to your customers.
Will I have to give up one of the plugins?
Usually not. Most conflicts can be resolved with a small compatibility fix so both keep working. Where a plugin is genuinely abandoned, I will say so and suggest alternatives.
It works when I'm logged in but not for visitors. Why?
Almost always caching. Logged-in users bypass the cache, so you see the working version and your visitors see a stale or broken one.
