Do you have the Classic Editor plugin installed? Can you see if you can reproduce the error using one of the core themes( twentytwenty*)? What theme are you using? * Plugin Author [Paul Ryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figureone/) * (@figureone) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gravity-forms-error-message-failed-to-initialize-plugin-wpinsertpages/#post-18331437) * One other thing to try: in Insert Pages settings, try setting the “TinyMCE filter” option to compatibility mode and see if that makes a difference. * You can also try just commenting out the filter hooks that register the TinyMCE plugin for Insert Pages: [https://github.com/uhm-coe/insert-pages/blob/master/insert-pages.php#L311-L312](https://github.com/uhm-coe/insert-pages/blob/master/insert-pages.php#L311-L312) * Thread Starter [henrikki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrikki/) * (@henrikki) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gravity-forms-error-message-failed-to-initialize-plugin-wpinsertpages/#post-18331494) * Thank for your work on this. Of course I am in compatibility mode.

If you’re already in tinymce compatibility mode, there’s a different place in the codebase where the Insert Pages tinymce plugin gets added, so you should comment that out also to disable the plugin: [https://github.com/uhm-coe/insert-pages/blob/master/insert-pages.php#L1868-L1869](https://github.com/uhm-coe/insert-pages/blob/master/insert-pages.php#L1868-L1869) - This reply was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by [Paul Ryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figureone/). * Plugin Author [Paul Ryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figureone/) * (@figureone) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gravity-forms-error-message-failed-to-initialize-plugin-wpinsertpages/#post-18333241) * Also thanks for the detailed error message. I think the change below should fix the issue, can you try manually applying that in your environment (and uncomment the code where you disabled the tinymce plugin) and see if that addresses the issue? If so I’ll get a new version of the plugin released with the fix: [https://github.com/uhm-coe/insert-pages/commit/137fe692d8f7066cf8dff9ccdf384c04b74c5372](https://github.com/uhm-coe/insert-pages/commit/137fe692d8f7066cf8dff9ccdf384c04b74c5372) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Gravity Forms: Error Message: Failed to initialize plugin: wpInsertPages’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/insert-pages.svg) * [Insert Pages](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-pages/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-pages/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-pages/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-pages/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-pages/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-pages/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Paul Ryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figureone/) * Last activity: [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gravity-forms-error-message-failed-to-initialize-plugin-wpinsertpages/#post-18333241) * Status: not resolved
