 * Hi Jeff [@foomagoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/) and thanks
   for your excellent plugin!
 * I use the plugin IdeaStream to post ideas and it works sidewide and with Buddypress
   groups.
    The “add-new” form actually conflicts with another plugin and I created
   a filter in Plugin Organizer to block the conflicting plugin at that page.
 * The filter works with the sidewide permalink because it is standard: mysite.com/
   ideas/action/add
 * The problem is with the groups, where the permalink is like this: mysite.com/
   groups/*/ideas/action/add
 * The part /*/ is variable, because it is the group slug, which means I cannot 
   create a filter to apply to all groups.
 * I see that filters work for permalinks with a variable part at the end (Affect
   children): mysite.com/groups/… but that doesn’t fit my needs in the present case.
   Are you planning to support permalinks with a variable part in the middle ?
 * Thanks in advance

   PS I tried to block the conflicting plugin using the available post types: ideas,
   ideastream_utility but they don’t work.

 * That is not going to be supported because of the way wordpress works. This question
   has been asked in this support forum many times. It’s not possible. Plugin organizer
   loads before the wordpress core so the url you are accessing is used as a sting
   to match a database row. Not the other way around.
