Hi there,

The problem is actually being caused by there being 2 copies (one current and one old version) of the jQuery JavaScript library there. Here’s a screenshot that outlines the current one in green and the old one in red:

There’s likely another WordPress plugin that’s adding the old copy of the library. The way forward will be to deactivate the other plugins the site to find out which one is adding the old library.

Then it may be your active WordPress theme is adding the outdated copy of jQuery. You can check the theme’s functions.php file to see if it does something like this:

wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js', false, '1.7.1');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

Any code like the above should be removed.

Hi there,

Something on your site is adding an older copy of jQuery, and it’s not Event Espresso. I’m out of guesses for what’s adding it because usually it’s another plugin or theme script. Is there a place where I can download the same theme that’s on your site?

A filesharing service.

A link to a zip file will work best.

Dropbox does not require an email address in order to share files.

Click share on the file/folder – http://take.ms/lneu4

Click create link, then copy link – http://take.ms/8kT98

That link can then be used to share the file with anyone unless you specifically change that within the settings.

Thank you.

In the theme you sent, in the footer.php file, starting on line 41:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www4.esu.edu/js/flexslider_home/flexslider.css">
<script src="http://www4.esu.edu/js/flexslider_home/jquery.flexslider-fixed.min.js"></script>

Line 41 is what’s causing the breakage. Ideally you should be using the
wp_enqueue_scripts hook to load those scripts and styles, but at the very least this code must be removed:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
