I just noticed that the slider (images & content) on our front page has disappeared now that we’ve done the update to Event Espresso.

Can someone help me fix this as soon as possible?

AND, it appears that the collapsible menu items on the left navigation are not collapsing either.

Hello,
It looks like you have some javascript errors on your site. You can try to use the [RAW] tags around your [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on the main registration page. More info: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/troubleshooting-event-espresso/

Hi Brenda,
Also, your theme is using an old version of jQuery (1.4.2).
When working with a few of our customers, we’ve noticed something like this in the theme’s functions.php:
function super_cool_theme_js() {
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' );
}
I noticed that this is a ThemeForest theme that has not been updated since 2010. To fix this, you will need to either contact them, or you can modify your theme’s functions.php file yourself by removing these lines:
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js');
So, it looks like this:
function super_cool_theme_js() {
if (is_admin()) return;
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}
If you have any questions, let us know.

Thank you Jonathan. I am checking with the theme designers for an update.
Will the code changes you suggest fix both the slider and the collapsible menu issues? Do you think?

While waiting to hear back from the theme designers to see if they have an update, I thought I’d look at the code in the theme’s functions.php file. Now I am looking at this file (found under wp-content/themes/classic-theme3)and I do not see the lines of code that you describe above.
If there’s a way to fix this while I’m waiting for a reply back re: a theme update, I’d like to do it.
Can you give me further instructions? Should I send you the php file for you to see it?
Thank you.

The code Jonathan is referring to is in the functions.php, so if you are looking via the Editor screen in WordPress you would need to look on the right for the functions.php.
It is not recommended to change that file on a live site unless you know what you are doing as one wrong change will stop your site from working until you can resolve it via FTP.

Thanks for the warning Dean. Good to know. I imagine there’s one functions.php file? But maybe not. I rarely edit any file within the WP Editor screen for the very reason you mention. I want to make sure I have an original copy of the file before I change it. So, I was actually looking at the file via FTP (FileZilla).
The theme designer is actually looking at the site right now for me. I hope it’s something he can fix for me.

Hey,
Yes there is only one functions.php (well there should only be one). It should be something the theme developer can fix, its just swapping out the script to using the WordPress one.
