first, the wiki deals with SP 4.x… you want the codex (http://codex.simple-press.com) for 5.0.  and the one that likely comes in to play here is: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/

and its because your theme (I believe) is misbehaving…  it is loading a very old version of jquery ui directly instead of using the version of jquery ui that comes with wp:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.5.2/jquery-ui.min.js”></script>

so when wp loads its current version of jquery ui, it conflicts with the out of date version your theme is loading…

see if you can find in your theme where that old version is improperly (see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script for right way to load js/jquery) loaded, we can see if we can help correct it… 

at least that is my hunch not being able to see the issue myself…

I sent a message to the developer to ask him to look into it for me. I searched through the source and it looks like it uses google in one place

The bottom of the screen says javascript:void(null) whenever I try to click on the tools button. 

I did find this:  

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.5.2/jquery-ui.min.js”></script>

in the header file, do you know what I should change it to?

try changing it to:

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery-ui-core’);   

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery-ui-widget’);

Sorry, I pretty novice and learning as I go with coding, which part should I replace with that?

Thank you 🙂

this line:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.5.2/jquery-ui.min.js”></script>

Sorry, I guess what I mean is, do I replace that whole line with what you posted? Or just part of it? and if just part of it, what part ? 🙂

replace the whole line in post #6 with the two lines in post #4

Ok, I tried that, but it just came up as text on the top of the page. Here is the context it was found in:

<!– JAVASCRIPT –>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.5.2/jquery-ui.min.js”></script>
<?php if(get_option(‘dtbaker_font_type’,’cufon’)==’cufon’){ ?>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/js/cufon-yui.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/js/Sunshine_Poppy_400.font.js”></script>
<?php } ?>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/js/jquery.DOMWindow.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/js/jquery.lightbox-0.5.pack.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/js/jquery.nivo.slider.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/js/jquery.cycle.min.js”></script>

sorry, should have been more specific on the html vs php…  replace

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.5.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

with

<?php
wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core');   
wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-widget');
?>

Thank you for your patients and quick replies! That fixed it! 🙂

good news indeed! thanks for the update…

Hi, so I have had the forums up for a couple weeks and was wondering why no one was posting, so I thought I would post something to get the conversation started, and the post a new topic button does not work. It was working when last we talked, but some time between now and then, it stopped. I know there was an update to simple press somewhere in there. Any suggestions on where to start? I already searched for any jquery conflicts

Also, just looking around some more and some places I can add a topic, but not a reply.

Looks like the tool set is not working either
