 * Hello, I need to disable a plugin on the back-end when I’m editing a post. I 
   was trying to use the wildcard in permalink but it doesn’t work.
    /wp-admin/post.
   php?post=*&action=edit /wp-admin/post.php?post=* Can you make this work or suggest
   how to disable a plugin on the back-end when admin/certain role is editing a 
   blog post?
 * Thank you very much!

 * Wildcards do not work that way. Their use is explained in the help text included
   in the pop up when you click the question mark next to permalink. You need to
   use the also affect children functionality and create a plug-in filter with the
   permalink [http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/](http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/).
   Then disable the plugin for that role.
