I think I’ve tracked this down to a possible conflict with the NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster plugin which is a huge problem for me because I rely heavily on this plugin to auto post to twitter/FB/Tumblr when I add new articles to the site. A high % of my site traffic comes from social media so I can’t do without this.

Any suggestions?

http://castletv.net/forums (Also on http://shieldtv.net/forum which also has the nextscripts plugin running)

what does the plugin do?  and what is it actually doing on the forum page?  is it blithely loading its stuff everywhere?

If its casting its lot across every page on the site when its not needed, then about the best suggestion would be to get a plugin called Plugin Organizer which can allow you to disable plugins on specific pages when its not needed…

I’ve sent an email to the NextScripts people to see if they can shed any light on the issue.

okay. what does it do?  is it needed on every page?

It auto posts my new WP posts to social media. It doesn’t SEEM like it should do anything on the front end. I know since the update there’s an option to have it search for social media responses and (I think) integrate them to your posts comments but I have that disabled

not to be critical, but the author probably just loaded the js and what not on every page…

did you try that plugin organizer to disable it on the forum page?  while waiting for his response…

This is the response I just got. Not very helpful!

Our plugin works only in the admin panel and does not cause such issues. The most common reason for this is the amount of memory allowed for PHP on your server. Please check and make sure it’s not 32M or less. You need at least 64M, but if you have other plugins 128M or even 256M is recommended.

Our server is optomised for wordpress hosting so it’s not going to be a memory issue. Besides, how would memory problems cause double spacing when a user hits enter while typing a post??

No connection at all.
So – if you deactivate this plugin does all this odd behaviour go away?
And… easy enough to determine what scripts are getting loaded on the front and back ends just by viewing the html source and searching…

yes, deactivating the plugin fixes the issues, activating it brings the issues back

I can’t make any sense whatsoever of that plugin organzier you mentioned.

I’ve tried looking at a forum page source code but I can’t see anything that looks obviously related to the nextscripts plugin

Could this be somehow linked to TinyMCE? (Or as my forum members affectionately call it “tiny mice”)

Maybe yes. Does this other plugin add something to the tinymce editor?

Got this error when uploading an image via SP so it looks like there’s def an issue with the nextscripts plugin that’s causing this

If I disable the TinyMCE editor in my profile and try to upload the same image I don’t get the error. So I think TinyMCE might hide the key to solving this. I’m not aware of anything the other plugin ads to the TinyMCE editor though.

or it could be complete coincidence that nxs sounds like nextscripts – I have no clue

If you Google that function then it comes back to what looks like a ‘social’ plugin for WP so I am guessing that you are correct.

You didn’t answer the question I asked in post 12…?
