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/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-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 ?

And Right heading to work right now, but I shall have a look when I get back, thanks for the wonderfully quick reply!

As I want this to be looking as good as possible!

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.

F**king Hell!

Within 10 posts…you fixed my problem =P

That is nothing short of incredible!

Thanks! =D

Sadly is is a common problem with many badly written – or not updated – themes. But I don’t mind taking the credit 🙂

Credit where credit is due!

Now I can start getting people onto the forum with no worries about how it looks….cause it looks awesome!

Just out of curiosity have you guys ever thought about a Rep system ?

Or not really your thing ?

perhaps you could explain a bit further…  we have requests for a thanks system, for a kharma system and we have a post rating system…  the former two are on our list…  wouldnt be a bad plugin for someone to take on writing either!

Yeah it was basically just Kharma sort of system, and the thanks stuff sounds fantastic!

Honestly really enjoying the forum however hit one road bump, on several occasions due to irritating friends, they have copy pasted a single word over and over and over, the problem being it didn’t wrap it like you’d expect instead extending the entire forum across the screen on one single line…really screwing things up, any possible reason for what this could have been ? =D

Thanks!

HTML with no spaces does not wrap – just keeps going until it finds the end or a space.

New CSS3 rules can deal with this but not all browsers support them of course, although all up to date versions do.

However, if your theme uses a ‘liquid’ layout – one where the forum width changes with resizing the browser window – then things get really difficult.

If not – and most Wp themes are not liquid as they seem to be out of fashion – then go to the forum admin > options > content settings – locate the panel on the right labelled ‘Post Content Width’ and follow the popup help exactly.

Thank You!

Worked perfectly!
