When you add or update plugins (or themes), conflicts may cause layout errors, JS breaks, site crashes, or other unexpected behavior. Here’s how to diagnose and resolve them.

• White screen of death or fatal errors.
• Layout/visual elements broken or misplaced.
• Features not working (forms, sliders, menus).
• Speed drops or backend dashboard is unresponsive.

1. Deactivate all non-core plugins and test the site. 2. If the issue goes away, reactivate plugins one by one to isolate which one causes the problem. ([docs.wpbeaverbuilder.com](https://docs.wpbeaverbuilder.com/beaver-builder/troubleshooting/debugging/plugin-conflicts/)) 3. Switch to a default or lightweight theme temporarily to test for theme/plugin interaction. 4. Enable debug mode or review server / CMS error logs to see PHP or JS errors.

• Update conflicting plugins/theme to latest versions (may include fixes).
• If plugin hasn’t been updated in a long time, replace with better-maintained alternative.
• Adjust settings: deactivate features that overlap between plugins.
• Use staging site to test changes before rolling them live.

• Use only essential plugins; avoid overlapping functionality.
• Always test new plugins on a staging/development copy of site.
• Keep theme, CMS core, plugins updated—but ensure compatibility.
• Backup site before major updates or installs.

Submit a ticket via our Support Center when:

• Plugin conflict causes site outage or major break in functionality.
• You cannot isolate which plugin/theme is causing the issue.
• The fix requires custom code or theme/plugin development.
• Errors persist after updates and disabling inactive plugins.
