Conflict with meteor slides

    There seems to be a conflict with the meteor-slides plugin ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/meteor-slides/ )where the slides menu does not appear in the WP backend when Gravity Forms is enabled. Any ideas?

  2. Haven't tried Meteor Slides before. We will check it out. Can't guarantee we can do anything about it on our end as it could be something within the other plugin that is causing the issue.

  3. It is a problem with the Meteor Slides plugin. They are hardcoding the menu position which can conflict with other plugins. They don't need to hardcode the menu position as WordPress can handle it on it's own so it plays nicely with other plugins that also add menu items.

    I have notified the developer.

    You can fix it yourself by editing this file:

    meteor-slides/meteor-slides-plugin.php

    Search for and remove this line of code:

    'menu_position' => 25,

    The problem is they were both trying to use the same menu position. Gravity Forms isn't hardcoded and WordPress was assigning it 25 automatically. Then Meteor was also trying to use 25.

  5. I have received a response from Josh Leuze who develops Meteor Slides and he will be making the necessary changes on his end so that it won't conflict with other plugins going forward.
