was just meant as a guide you can check for… to know whether proper wp versions are being loaded or external…
again, a link to your site and we could check for obvious ones…
Happy to get you into my site. Since it is in Preview Mode (not published to the web yet) I would need to provide you with the link and the password, and I could also make you a temporary administrator. Is that what you need?
oh, that preview thing – coming back now… I really dont know what that is… its not a standard wp thing…
but happy to take a look… at this point, to look for obvious conflicts, just need access to the site – not really wp admin status… just want to look at page source and loaded js..
Super. Okay, the link to get into the site is this:
http://www.barnowlbox.com.previewdns.com/wp-admin
Occasionally we have issues logging in. If your browser indicates it cannot find it, go up into the url window and backspace until the above link is remaining. Let me know how this works, and thanks very much.
Whoops. I just realized I posted all of my info to get into my site.
What should I do?
Actually, maybe not. Doesn’t look like I included the password and username. Let me know.
yeah, your wp theme is causing numerous js errors on pages… is this a very old theme? its violating wp standards and api and loading an ancient version of jquery:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://barnowlbox.com.previewdns.com/wp-content/themes/minibuzz3/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js?ver=1.4.2′></script>
themes should just use the jquery that comes with wp… see: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/
the current version of jquery that comes with wp is version 1.10.2… with the theme loading ancient version 1.4.2 (released feb 2010), its going to cause many problems…
Well, I do not know how old the theme is: I simply chose it and my developers said it would work fine and that it was well constructed. What is the fix for the problem?
The MiniBuzz theme is shown here: http://themeforest.net/item/minibuzz-minimalist-business-wordpress-theme/101548. I am not clear as to whether there is an update but there is support that looks like it costs $45. The theme was downloaded in the spring of 2013 so there should have been something better than such an old version of JS.
the ‘fix’ is to fix the theme… find where its loading the external, old copy of jquery and instead tell to load the wp version of jquery… the link I gave in post 23 gets you started on this…
but if you find where the theme loads the wrong version, we can help change it to load right wp version..
Alright, so what we did was install the plugin: JQuery Updater 2.0.3. This did not, as of yet, remedy the issue with the Simple Press Add a Topic button. It still is dysfunctional. But the question is, did the plugin resolve the issue with the older version of JS being loaded?
no, that plugin will pull in the latest jquery not the jquery that already comes with wp…
you need to find in your theme where its loading the external jquery… typically its in header.php but based on the theme design could be in any file…
just do a search/grep for string ‘query-1.4.2’ in your theme…
