Oh this is really bad. Not only are they using a non-standard version of jQuery but they are not even calling in the right way. The WordPress team have been talking about trying to stamp this sort of thing out and just stopping execution when this sort of thing turns up but so far they have not actually done anything about it. I sure wish they would!

So - this is actually load with a script tag. That means you would not even get the latest version when it comes along.

File is 'header.php' in the templates folder. Line 47. Force loads jquery.min.js from the googlapis site. That needs to be removed. Don't lose it though. If things go wrong you may need to put it back until we find out what the problem is.

Then in the file spFunctions.php in the templates folder try adding the following on the line after the opening php tag at the top:

 

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_up_jquery' );
function load_up_jquery() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}

 

The it is time to see what you have! And hope that the theme authurs have not left anything else nasty sitting around.

 Hi, Author not proving very helpful, but I am nervous about breaking my site. Presumably I can ftp in amended functions.php and header.php and then replace with originals if something doesn't work? I have backed up the site as a first step. 

Hi there,

Your suggested code fixes seem to have done the trick! Everything works, and there doesn't seem to be an other stuff lying around to mess it up. 

Thanks for your help!
