For a client we installed the addon wpDiscuz Subscription Manager, but when we want to use it the wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpdiscuz-subscribe didn't work, I got a message: "Sorry you are not allowed to see this page".
With some help of cursor we figured out that the wpdiscuz_inint action is not used anymore in wpDiscuz.
Why wpdiscuz_init is not triggered
- The wpdiscuz_init action was removed or is no longer triggered in wpDiscuz 7.6.26.
- The Subscribe Manager plugin (version 7.0.9) still uses this old hook.
- This is a compatibility issue between an older addon and a newer core version.
- On the init hook (priority 90) — after wpDiscuz loads
- On the wpdiscuz_init_options hook — if wpDiscuz triggers it
- On the admin_menu hook (priority 0) — as a fallback
- Refresh the WordPress admin page
- Test the page: wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpdiscuz-subscribe
- If it still doesn't work, try:
- Deactivating and reactivating the plugin
- Clearing cache (if applicable)
- Checking if wpDiscuz is active
public function __construct() {
add_action("init", [&$this, "pluginTextDomain"], 85);
add_action("admin_notices", [&$this, "wpdsRequirements"], 85);
// Initialize when wpDiscuz is available
// Try multiple hooks since wpdiscuz_init was removed in newer wpDiscuz versions
add_action("init", [&$this, "wpdiscuz_init"], 90); // ✅ After wpDiscuz loads
add_action("wpdiscuz_init_options", [&$this, "wpdiscuz_init"], 85); // ✅ If wpDiscuz triggers this
// Also check on admin_menu in case wpDiscuz loads late
add_action("admin_menu", [&$this, "wpdiscuz_init"], 0); // ✅ Fallback
}
public function wpdiscuz_init() {
// Prevent multiple initializations
if (isset($this->db) && $this->db instanceof wpdSubscribersDBManager) {
return;
}
if (function_exists("wpDiscuz")) {
$this->apimanager = new GVT_API_Manager(__FILE__, "wpdiscuz_options_page", "wpdiscuz_option_page");
$this->db = new wpdSubscribersDBManager();
// Register admin menu - use high priority to ensure it runs after wpDiscuz menu is created
add_action("admin_menu", [&$this, "addSubscriptionsToAdminMenu"], 876);
// ... rest of initialization code ...
}
