what browser? and which runtime? you can see the latter by hovering over the plugin icon in upper left…

how big was the file?

what happens if you upload via the popup instead of drag and drop?

After some more investigating I found that it has a plugin conflict with a Booking plugin I also purchased…. not sure how to go about fixing the issue…

Thanks Papa for the reply – we must have posted at the same time… I’m using Safari and the file was 700k. Pop-up or add file, still won’t work. When I deactivate that other plugin like I said, the Add File and Start buttons appear and function as they should.

what does this plugin do on the forum page??  does it need to be loading its stuff?  is it the all in one event calendar?  or is it disabled?

Papa – this plugin isn’t featured on the forum, its a totally different part of the website. This is the plugin causing the conflict: http://wpbookingcalendar.com/

I found that a lot of issues are JQuery problems – but I read this post and can’t see any issues there.

Since both plugins (Simple Press and Bookings) are paid plugins and I have support for both.. how should I tackle this problem?

I suppose it depends where you feel the root of the problem lies. One of the problems seems to be that many plugins load up their code on every page instead of loading it only where required. That would be my first point – you need a way to prevent the other plugin from being loaded where it is not needed. SP does do this.

If the problem is jQuery related then again SP does abide strictly to the WordPress API to ensure the correct libraries are loaded and correctly called into service. Many plugins and themes do not. i would need to see your site and forumn page to know if this was the case here however.

There is a plugin called, I believe, Plugin Organiser, that should allow you to stop a plugin’s code fro being loaded on specified pages. This really is like taking a sledge hammer to crack a nut but I suppose it might do the trick for you.
