Hi There!
I had been using Zangiri Forums until well....it was dreadful, and stumbled across this site and after using it for a night decided to donate for it as I think its wonderful, however having some issues and as I am still relativly new to wordpress would love some help with, On this forum when I go to Profile it shows all the options in a wonderful way, however on my set up it shows nothiing until you click on profile again at which it just shows Standard text options which looks horrific in comparison to this,
Can you help at all ?
If it helps I'm using a Wordpress theme called GAMENOW, which no doubt is pretty common anyway.
Thanks

The problem is with your theme. There are quite a few things not working because of this. It is (1) loading a copy of the jQuery script library from it's own source rather tha using the one that comes with WordPress that should be used; (2) is not using the WP APi to load this so that you end up with two copies; (3) and to make matters worse it is really quite old version!
This codex article explains in more detail: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/
This will actually be pretty easy to sort out but you will need to locate the place in your theme that is loading the jQuery script. This is lieklly to be the theme functions.php file. If you need help we can walk you through it once you have found it.

Are you saying the theme is really quite old sorry ?

Thanks!

Possibly quite old although that is not necessarily a problem as long as it all works. But the jQuery it is loading is pretty old and way past its sell by date. So that does suggest there may be the odd component in the theme that could also be older.

Is it at all possible to merge it with the latest Jquery ? How easy would this be to accomplish ? And What am I looking for when it comes to looking for where it loads Jquery ?
Just registered with you guys and I already feel my donation was worth it! =D
Thanks

Merge - sorry - absolutely not. It really is important to be using the most up to date jQuery library. Both WP and other 'up to date' plugins (like SP) may well be reliant upon it. I think you will probably be OK.
Well the first pl;ace to look would be the functions.php file of the wp theme. Do a search for 'jquery'. It might well be in html 'script' tags. If not n that file try the header.php...

Hi There!
After doing a page source on the forums page it comes up with this...
Could this be causing it ?
Also I have attached the jquery files that came with the theme incase anything can be done there ?
And Sorry when I meant merge I meant merge the Jquery of the theme with the latest Jquery Library ?

That top line - the one that loads jQuery - needs to be completely removed.
Then - open your functions.php file in the WP theme and add this code - probably best before other code at the top:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_wp_jquery', 1);
function load_wp_jquery() {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}That will load the correct version and continue to load the correct version when updated in the future.
When this is done we will then need to see if there are other probems relving round the way jQuery is called. But this needs to be done first.
