In this paper we extend Darmon's theory of “integration on ${{\text{H}}_{p}}\times \text{H}$” to cusp forms $f$ of higher even weight. This enables us to prove a “weak exceptional zero conjecture”: that when the $p$-adic $L$-function of $f$ has an exceptional zero at the central point, the $\mathcal{L}$-invariant arising is independent of a twist by certain Dirichlet characters.
