PublishPress Authors interferes with Community Events plugin

[mrwweb]

I’m using PublishPress Authors along with Community Events for The Events Calendar. I am experiencing a strange issue that I believe is tied to the combination of these two plugins.

When I activate PublishPress Authors, I can no longer submit Community Events submissions when I’m logged into WordPress. When I am logged out, I can submit events as expected.

Here’s the full stack trace which strangely doesn’t mention PublishPress authors.

TEC support suggested I reach out and see if this is something you’ve run into or if this error is similar to any other issues.

Thanks!

Hi @mrwweb

Thanks for reporting this.

We would love to help you investigate this issue, unfortunately we cannot do it here. It’s prohibited to provide support on commercial plugin in this forum: https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products

If you have Pro version of our plugin, please open a ticket on: https://publishpress.com/new-support-ticket/ so we can investigate this further.

Thanks,

[mrwweb]

Hi @rizaardiyanto. I’m not quite sure I understand. I’m using the free version of PublishPress Authors hosted in the plugin repository.

Hi @mrwweb. Those are the rules laid down by the forum moderators here.

The Community Events plugin is a commercial product. Plus, we don’t have a copy of that plugin to test with.

@mrwweb The Community Events for The Events Calendar is a commercial plugin.

I know that you use our free version hosted on this plugin repository, but this forum prohibited us to provide support over commercial product.

We always redirect a user who has an issue with commercial product to open a ticket in our private helpdesk, which we will be able to help there.

Let me know if you need some clarification.

@rizaardiyanto @stevejburge I appreciate this is a tricky request. I was mostly curious if the error log tripped any recognition of similar issues or some troubleshooting tips you might have.

FWIW, I both recognize it’s hard for you to test a paid plugin and you can’t guarantee compatibility with everything. I did clarify with the #forums Slack that this thread doesn’t violate the paid support guidelines, but I understand if you’re just not willing to take this one on.

If you are, any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I’ve seen similar array-to-string issues pop up with this plugin in the past, but I can’t remember the details.

Thanks @mrwweb. Sorry, this isn’t something we’re able to help with here on the free WordPress forums, particularly without any specific errors pointing to PublishPress Authors.
