When I activate the EE plugin, my homepage slider malfunctions. There are only 4 slides in my slider, but it is showing 3 empty slides before my 4 existing slides. When I deactivate the plugin, it functions correctly again.

New installation of EE and wordpress. link to my site: http://66.147.244.217/~nirisvco/

Hi Tracy,

I checked your site and it turns out the active WordPress theme is using a very old version of the jQuery library (version 1.6.4). Event Espresso requires the current version of jQuery that the current version of WordPress includes (the current version of jQuery that WordPress includes is version 1.10.2)

Can you check with the theme author to see if there is an update to this theme? If not, the theme may be able to be modified so that it will use the current version of jQuery or it may help to install the Restore jQuery plugin.

I checked and there is no update to the theme and the restore jquery plugin didn’t work.

Hi there,

Can the theme developer offer assistance on how to modify the theme so it includes the correct jQuery library? If not, usually it’s something in the functions.php that will look like this:

function remove_wp_jquery() {
  if (is_admin()) return;
  wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
  wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js');
  wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}

The above can be changed to:

function remove_wp_jquery() {
  if (is_admin()) return;
  wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}

Hi there,

This is likely from the WordPress SEO plugin. Can you try disabling the Twitter, FaceBook, and Google+ meta tag options in its social settings?

I don’t have a SEO plugin I don’t think.

Sorry, wrong post. The suggestion to check for the de-registration of WordPress’s built in jQuery library still applies here.
