With over 35,000 plugins and themes available for WordPress, it\’s possible that conflicts can occur between OptimizePress and themes or plugins running on your site.
Conflicts usually occur because some plugins or themes may use scripts which conflict with scripts already used inside OptimizePress, or because of other code conflicts.
Fixing Plugin & Theme Conflicts (with LiveEditor)
Although it\’s not possible for us to modify the code in third-party themes and plugins to work with OptimizePress, we have developed a section within OptimizePress which can help with some of these conflicts.
This section is called “Disable Styles & Scripts” and you can find this within OptimizePress > Support > Disable Styles & Scripts
If you are experiencing problems using the LiveEditor with certain plugins, these options have been found to help resolve these issues.
Please note disabling a specific theme or plugin from rendering inside the LiveEditor will stop any functionality attached to it from working within the LiveEditor or pages created with it. Normal WordPress pages and posts remain unaffected.

This page contains a log of themes and plugins with known conflicts with OptimizePress 2.0
- Better Search Replace – This plugin corrupts OptimizePress data in the database for pages created with the Live Editor and essentially destroys the pages. Avoid using this plugin at all costs. As an alternative, please use our plugin, as well as this plugin to update URLs on your site (always take database backups): https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
If you have used the “Better Search Replace” plugin and have issues with your live editor pages, you will need to restore your database from a point before you ran that plugin as there is not anything we can do on our end to fix this. - SEO Redirection (Fakhri Alsadi) – this plugin breaks the optin functionality of forms inside OptimizePress because it redirects our optin form submission URL /process-optin-form [Confirmed August 2015]
- Hybrid Connect (should now work if you use the latest Op2 and Hybrid connect) – known to cause issues in the LiveEditor. (we are considering fixes for this at the moment). The Hybrid connect team are working with us to fix this asap.

Incompatible Hosting Services
- GoDaddy* – although OptimizePress will run on GoDaddy hosting, their hosting environment is quite restrictive and we often find sites run slower on GoDaddy and also may have trouble updating. This is not a bug in OptimizePress as Godaddy servers are typically very under-powered and set with very restrictive resource limits which may cause these issues. Contact our support team if you have issues with Godaddy and we\’ll try to help as best we can.
- SEOHosting – Some customers have reported strange errors when editing their sites whilst on this hosting
