Plugin Conflicts with Theme or Plugins: Troubleshooting

Table of Contents

Problem description #

Email verification fails or the UI breaks after installing the plugin because of conflicts with themes, page builders, or other plugins.

Symptoms:

  • Verification popup not appearing or timing out.
  • Verification code rejected only with a particular theme or plugin active.
  • Console JS errors or PHP fatal errors.

Typical causes:

  • Theme or plugin overwrites WooCommerce My Account templates or alters registration page markup.
  • JS conflicts (namespaces, duplicate libraries) with page builder or other plugins.
  • Ultimate Member and similar user/profile plugins are not officially supported by the plugin. WordPress.org

Solution (step-by-step)

  1. Update everything, plugin, theme, WordPress, WooCommerce.
  2. Conflict test:

    • Disable all plugins except WooCommerce + Email Verification and test.
    • Switch to a default WP theme (Twenty Twenty-Three).
    • If resolved, re-enable items one at a time to find the conflict.
  3. If conflict found with a third-party plugin (e.g., Ultimate Member):

    • Check the third-party plugin docs for integration points.
    • Request compatibility on the plugin’s feature/feedback board (plugin author suggested their feature board). WordPress.org
  4. Provide logs and site URL to plugin author when opening support ticket: include theme name, plugin list, WP/WooCommerce versions, and any console errors.

Prerequisites

  • Admin access to WP site, ability to disable/reactivate plugins and switch themes.

Additional notes

  • Where integration with specific membership plugins is essential, consider requesting a custom compatibility fix or using alternative verification methods.
