Incom­pat­i­ble WP plugins

The geosmart plu­g­in is incom­pat­i­ble with the one-time-password (OTP) plu­g­in of Word­Press. The prob­lem is that the OTP plu­g­in does not dis­play the chal­lenge on the login page any­more when the geosmart plu­g­in is activated.

A work around may be to make sure the geosmart plu­g­in does not do some­thing on the login page, but this incom­pat­i­bil­i­ty could also cause prob­lems some­where else.

The prob­lem could be relat­ed to the way the geosmart plu­g­in uses jquery. I found a bug report for OTP where the prob­lem was the jquery han­dling in anoth­er plu­g­in. The spe­cif­ic prob­lem men­tioned there does not seem to be the same as in the geosmart plu­g­in, at least on the very quick look I had.

So… for now I dis­abled the geosmart plu­g­in, most of the time I guessed the sequence num­ber right, but some­times I did not.
