Title: Plugin conflict Last modified: December 15, 2022 --- # Plugin conflict * Resolved [msowah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msowah/) * (@msowah) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/) * The moment I activate pods, I start getting issues with my JWT plugin. I get this errors with my tokens * ```wp-block-code { "success": false, "statusCode": 403, "code": "jwt_auth_invalid_token", "message": "Algorithm not allowed", "data": [] } ``` * What am I doing wrong and How do I resolve this? my JWT plugin in questions [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jwt-auth/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jwt-auth/) and I tried several other ones with the same issue. How do I resolve this please?

Looks like Pods is using version 5 which is creating the conflict. Any recommendations? any way around this. * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16293667) * This has been updated in our next planned release for Pods 2.9.11 — there’s not a great way around this at the moment unless you are using The Events Calendar or Event Tickets plugins (those have the same library but they override the one that Pods loads in). * These three plugins share the same common library which uses JWT, even though Pods doesn’t use that particular feature of the library — it’s still unfortunately registering itself and loading ahead of the one from the JWT Auth plugin 🙁 * Thread Starter [msowah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msowah/) * (@msowah) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16293808) * I guess I have no option but to wait for the next release even though its stalling work. * But to clarify so after the next planned release for Pods 2.9.11 pods will also be on v6.3 of firebase/php-jwt like JWT plugin right? * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16293885) * I’m seeing firebase/php-jwt version 6.3.0 in this code so that’s what gets included by Pods 2.9.11 * Thread Starter [msowah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msowah/) * (@msowah) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16294184) * Awesome, Thank you so much [@sc0ttkclark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/), I look forward to Pods 2.9.11 and hopefully it lands soon. Thank you again. * Plugin Support [pdclark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pdclark/) * (@pdclark) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16294655) * [@msowah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msowah/) While you’re waiting for the release, it might work to load the JWT plugin as an `mu-plugin` by writing a file which includes the JWT plugin and placing it in `wp-content/mu-plugins/`. This would cause the JWT plugin to load before Pods. * See: - [https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/142-how-to-make-a-custom-mu-plugin](https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/142-how-to-make-a-custom-mu-plugin) - [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php) * Thread Starter [msowah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msowah/) * (@msowah) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16328515) * [@sc0ttkclark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) any updates? * Thread Starter [msowah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msowah/) * (@msowah) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16328519) * [@pdclark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pdclark/) by any chance any sample code to assist in how that would look like…got a little lost trying to do it * Plugin Support [pdclark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pdclark/) * (@pdclark) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-380/#post-16328588) - Create the folder `wp-content/mu-plugins/` - Move `wp-content/plugins/jwt-auth/` to `wp-content/mu-plugins/jwt-auth/` - Create a file `wp-content/mu-plugins/jwt-auth.php` - Put the following code in that created PHP file: * ```wp-block-code
