Hi Mike,

It looks like WP Sponsor Flip Wall is going to break a lot of plugins because it’s removing the WordPress included version of the jQuery library and hard linking an older version of jQuery instead. This is not a good practice.

You could try modifying the plugin to be WordPress compatible by commenting out line 10 of sponsor_gallery_render.php like this:

// wp_deregister_script('jquery');

and removing line 41 where it says:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"</script>

and replace with:

<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery");>

Then, you’ll also need to comment out line 315 of wp-sponsor-flip-wall.php so it says:

// wp_deregister_script('jquery');

The above solution is kind of messy, but it would be avoided if the developer would use the wp_enqueue_script function instead of removing WordPress’s jQuery and adding its own scripts to the page by hard-linking them . The WordPress enqueue script function does a great job with making sure all plugins and themes work together, every plugin installed just needs to use the function so it can work.
