Hi,

We've checked and didn't find such an issue on our test websites.

Please let us know the list of plugins you're using, so we can identify what may be causing the issue.

wpdiscuz_init not triggered

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 problem:

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.

The solution:

The plugin now initializes at multiple points:

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

A check was added to prevent double initialization.

What to do:

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

Recommendation for the future:

Consider updating the Subscribe Manager plugin to a version compatible with wpDiscuz 7.6.x, if available. This fix should work, but an official update is better for long-term support.

Possible fix:

public function __construct() {
    add_action("init", , 85);
    add_action("admin_notices", , 85);
    // Initialize when wpDiscuz is available
    // Try multiple hooks since wpdiscuz_init was removed in newer wpDiscuz versions
    add_action("init", , 90);                    // ✅ After wpDiscuz loads
    add_action("wpdiscuz_init_options", , 85);   // ✅ If wpDiscuz triggers this
    // Also check on admin_menu in case wpDiscuz loads late
    add_action("admin_menu", , 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", , 876);
        // ... rest of initialization code ...
    }
}

For me this works. But maybe you should look to whats the best solution.

We don't like to have a local version with alterations. Would be nice if this gets fixed.
