Hi Mr Papa, right, did as you said and everything is still ok – great. The culprit is MM forms, turned it off, refreshed the forum and everything looks pretty, then turned it back on and we are back to where we were.

What's next? – thanks again for your time

PS: You were right along the contact form 7 lines, just noticed this on the plugin description:

MM Forms plugin is developed by Motionmill.

Motionmill has a lot of experience in building websites using Wordpress.
When we encounter issues, we try to solve them. This is translated in the creation of new plugins or modification of existing plugins.For MM Forms we were inspired by Contact Form 7. Nevertheless this was and still is a great plugin, we found a lot of gaps.
So we decided to build a new plugin with all necessary specifications.

I guess, see what kind of filters and hooks they are running… we might be able to disable or change priority on one of them to avoid their wpautop issue… they really shouldnt be running anything on the forum page – only on their page…

perhaps before worrying about that, check if you can exclude the MM Forms plugin from the forum page – after all, I assume it is not used there? Or is it? So does it have any 'exclusion' options? Or an option to only use it on specific pages? It really should have.

Check also that you have the latest version. This problem was introduced because of a bug in WordPress back in 2.7 (or might have even been 2.6) which is now fixed and most authors have updated their plugins and corrected the hack.

Hi,

No the MM forms plugin is not used on the forum page. I have tried to look for options in the plugin to only use on specific pages – there are none, and I am on the latest version (9.4.0b). I have posted a query on their plugin page yesterday, but it just says awaiting moderation – it doesn't look like they update regulary.

Any help you could give would be much appreciated and a donation is in the pipes if we manage to get it sorted.

Thanks,

AlecLaugh

that was my point about it – a plugin should only load its stuff when needed… when I get a chance later, let me look at its filters/hooks and see if there is something that can be done…

Open the file mm-forms.php
Scroll down to line 46 and find these two lines of code:

     if (remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop'))
            add_filter('the_content', array(&$this, 'wpautop_substitute'));

comment them and save file (you can comment them out by placing two slashes at the front as in //)

I would hunt for an alternative as any plugin that loads up on pages where it should not is just badly written and the WP bug this is trying to resolve was fixed a couple of versions back.
