Missing Columns on Posts Page

Hi there!

I am the author of a plugin called Wicked Folders and am hoping you can help me with a small issue.

A user recently reported that the ‘Date’ column on their Posts page in the admin was disappearing when both Wicked Folders and SmartCrawl SEO were activated at the same time. We looked into and found that, indeed, this does occur in scenarios where SmartCrawl SEO’s manage_posts_columns filter runs after the Wicked Folders manage_posts_columns filter (which is happening on the user’s instance).

In looking at the smartcrawl_page_title_column_heading() function, we noticed that the function adds two new column headings (‘Title Tag’ and ‘Robots Meta’) by slicing the original column headings array at specific indexes; however, because our plugin adds a column heading (as many plugins do), the indexes that are used to slice the headings array are no longer correct causing one of the columns to disappear (in this case the ‘Date’ column).

Since many plugins alter the column headings, we believe the solution should be to adjust the smartcrawl_page_title_column_heading() function so that it doesn’t rely on specific column indexes. Do you agree with this assessment? If so, would it be possible for your team to look into and adjust?

Thanks in advance for your help! Please let me know if I can answer any questions or assist with anything.
