    Hi,

    I’m using an ElegantBiz2 theme with an optinform functionality included.
    But also installed your plugin and plans to use it with the theme I’m using.

    Problem is, if I include [optinform] in my pages, the form of the theme is used.
    I want to disable the theme’s plugin for optin and use yours but there is no disable function I can use in the said WP theme.

    How can I do that?

    Thanks!

    Hi pauljohnserrano,

    as plugin files are usually loaded before theme files, your theme is overwriting the shortcode. It’s a good thing for theme developers to prefix their shortcodes in order to prevent these scenarios (i.e. prefix_optinform).

    Your best bet would be to contact the theme developers and ask them for a way to disable the theme’s shortcode, as this will allow you to keep your changes with every theme or plugin update.

    If that doesn’t help, let me know and we can find another solution 😉
