Hi I just updated to the latest version and some aspects of my site that use jquery no longer work (while they used to have no problem – and work just fine with event espresso deactivated).

I am calling this in the header to make some boxes appear on click:

<script src=”http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js”></script&gt;
<!– about us boxes –>
< script>
function showonlyone(thechosenone) {
$(‘div[name|=”aboutboxes”]’).each(function(index) {
if ($(this).attr(“id”) == thechosenone) {
$(this).fadeIn();
}
else {
$(this).fadeOut();
}
});
}
</ script>

Can you tell me where the problem with the plugin may be?

Hi,

Its hard to say without seeing the site to check for errors (a link would be great!), but it might be that you are using a version of jQuery not supplied with WordPress (not advised) and that the script is using the short form of jQuery ($). Often when errors occur and the shortform is in use, it is due to the shortform not being called correctly.

As mentioned without seeing the site the above is guesswork.

Thanks for the quick response πŸ™‚

The site is not online atm, so I would have to give you an account to see it. I am calling the latest jquery in header.php, does the new wordpress also call it maybe?

indeed it gives an error in the console: Uncaught TypeError: Property ‘$’ of object [object Object] is not a function

<script>
function showonlyone(thechosenone) {
$(‘div[name|=”aboutboxes”]’).each(function(index) {
if ($(this).attr(“id”) == thechosenone) {
$(this).fadeIn();
}
else {
$(this).fadeOut();
}
});
}
</script>

The latest WordPress calls jQuery 1.10.2.

Ok, there’s the answer

β€˜$’ of object [object Object]

means that you are using $ but have you or whoever wrote the code, has not correctly placed jQuery in no conflict mode – http://digwp.com/2011/09/using-instead-of-jquery-in-wordpress/
