Hey,

OK, well now we know that it is definitely that.

The script the plugin is using is conflicting with the one we are using, and looking at it closer it’s down to the version (it does look like the same script, just a different version).

I can put in a request fro us to update this script, but I cannot say when this will occur.

I just did some further tests on this and yes it looks like that version breaks the validation, I will raise the ticket priority on this.

Hi Brent,

I’m looking into this further and I’m afraid there may be more to this than the second script loading. When I view the source of the registration page, it appears that neither of Event Espresso’s validation scripts are loading on your registration pages. Has anything been modified to prevent Event Espresso’s scripts from loading elsewhere?

Once that issue gets figured out, and there are still issues with validation for the form fields, this little code snippet will remove the connection plugin’s validation scripts from Event Espresso’s pages (and no where else).

// remove Connection's copy of the jQuery.validate.js script 
// on Event Espresso pages
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_deregister_javascript', 11 );
 
function my_deregister_javascript() {
	global $load_espresso_scripts;
    if ($load_espresso_scripts) {
        wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-validate' );
    }
}

You can add the above script to a site specific snippet plugin to make that happen:

You can try the snippet first. What it will do is make sure the conflicting script from Connections does not load on the Event Espresso pages. It doesn’t need to be loaded there anyway.

You might also mention to your developer that there really should be something done about the number of JavaScript files loaded on each page load. Depending on the page, there are between 45 and 55 script files loaded. There are ways to get this down to two by compressing them together, which will really speed up the page loads.

That seems to be working now.
