 * I’ve just installed stopbadbots.
 * When I click on its settings link (`/wp-admin/admin.php?page=settings`) it opens
   a badly styled version of the settings page for the plugin ‘Download Manager’
   instead of the stopbadbots settings page.
 * The actual settings page for ‘Download Manager’ is `/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type
   =wpdmpro&page=settings`.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsettings-opens-different-plugins-settings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * The link should be:
    [http://carnethy.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=settings](http://carnethy.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=settings)
   Please, double check if your plugin version is 5.17 Check your wordpress version
   if is at least 4.9.8 Check if you have memory free available **Dashboard => Stop
   Bad Bots => Dashboard**
 * For more troubleshootings, take a look this page:
    [http://siterightaway.net/troubleshooting/](http://siterightaway.net/troubleshooting/)
   Please, let ke know after that.
 * Cheers,
    Bill

 * The link is as you quoted. The second link was to Download Manager’s settings
   page. It’s sufficiently different that you wouldn’t think there’d be a problem.
 * Clicking the SBB settings link opens `http://carnethy.com/wp-admin/admin.php?
   page=settings` but instead of it showing SBB settings it shows a distorted version
   of Download Manager’s settings.
 * If I disable ‘Download Manager’, SBB’s settings load properly
 * It’s the latest version of the plugin and WordPress. I have tons of memory free.
 * I would think it’s a conflict.

 * Yes, unfortunately looks like a conflict with another plugin.

 * Thanks. I don’t know what the settings are but it does seem to be blocking successfully!

 * Hi,
 * I just updated the Stop Bad Bots version 5.18
    It is compatible with WordPress
   5.0 I fixed also that incompatibility with Download Manager Plugin.
