No – WordPress does not use Bootstrap and does not proper;y support BootStrap. As far as a JavaScript library and UI Library is concerned WordPress is built using – and has API support for – jQuery and the jQuery UI.

And one of the main problems with Bootstrap is that it competes with the jQuery UI and can change the way some of that UI code works. In other words – it fights.

I know I looked at your forum page at the start of this thread and I went to have another look yesterday to remind myself what it was that was happening but you had taken the forum down already so I was unable to locate the issue.

I thank you for having had a second look. I have taken it down also because it conflicted with some plugins (or maybe it was the other way around). I’ve learned that doing modifications will just break my theme. So, I’m keeping the old version as a reference for layout but I will wait for more updates and maybe install another time in the future.

No problem, will always try and help where we can! It seems as though Andy has given you the solution this time, however should you want to try again in the future – If you have any support questions then please remember to use the support forum not the pre membership queries forum.

Sorry if I re-open this ticket. As I have no abilities to correct the problem of bootstrap being loaded from WordPress, I have taken my oldsite simplepress plugin folder and have reinstalled it on my new site.  The problem is not there anymore (i.e. gorups’ titles are shown) so I believe this is a problem with the plugin and not with WordPress.

So far I can live with the forum by not upgrading it, and hoping that you will fix the issue on your next update.  Thank you.

There is nothing for us to fix. If I recall correctly, the bootstrap CSS was setting oner of our style classes to ‘display:none’ so that, as it says, did not display. I believe this was the case on this thread. I can not, I am sorry to say, fix up WP themes and plugins that are incorrectly created.

it’s good to know there was not a conflict at some time in the past although you have not mentioned which older version you are referring to.
