If it helps, I’m also getting the following error in the Simplepress log:

file: /simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-plugins.php
line: 82
function: Unavailable
Warning | closedir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given

Look in the functions file and fnd the function:

function my_init_scripts() and right at thw top there are these three lines:

wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery','http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js', false, '1.7.1');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

Just comment out the top two leaving the wp_enqueue_script() line to be processed.

The theme is loading a ‘tabs’ library and ‘accordion’ library it has supplied. These should really be loaded from the libraries supplied by WP especially as they will get out of date with the main jQuery version. But he is also loading a ‘tabs2’ script and I have no idea what that is and how it might interact. So I would try the one change first to see what happens and see if anything else gets broken by it.

Hello Yellow Swordfish, and thank you for the suggestion!

Commenting out the first two lines fixed the Add Topic issue in SimplePress, while leaving tab & tabs2 (for a side bar menu) working. However, consistently, it breaks the Nivo-slider that’s on the homepage. I’ve updated the nivo-slider with the latest version, but still no go. I also edited the second line above to call from wp-content, which did fix the Add Topic, but broke the slider again.

Sorry to trouble you again, but would you have any idea for calling jquery just for the forum page, but not elsewhere?

Thank you very much in advance!!

You could try using the

sp_is_forumpage()

function. Only perfoprm those changes if this is true…

you can do a check…

if (sp_is_forumpage()) { # forum page stuff here } else { # non forum page }

Thank you both for your help. I added the conditional per above, the main site works, slider works (actually onebyone), but still can’t get Add Topic to work. Would you mind checking my edits to this section? Very much appreciated your quick reply. Many thanks again!!

My forum page is just www.sitrep.at/forum/. The text below works for everything else except the Add Topic.

—–

function my_init_scripts() {

if (sp_is_forumpage()) {

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’); } else {

if (!is_admin()) {

global $shortname;

wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);

wp_register_script(‘jquery’,’http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js’, false, ‘1.7.1’);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);

if (is_home() || is_front_page())

if (get_option($shortname.’_slider_type’) == ‘Piecemaker Slider’) {

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_swfobject’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/piecemaker/swfobject.js’, false, ‘2.1’, false);

}

if ( (is_page_template(‘portfolio-two-sortable.php’)) || (is_page_template(‘portfolio-three-sortable.php’)) || (is_page_template(‘portfolio-four-sortable.php’)) ) {

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_isotope’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/isotope/jquery.isotope.min.js’, false, ‘1.5.04’, false);

}

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_tabs’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/tabs.js’, false, ‘1.0’, false);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_tabs2′, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/tabs2.js’, false, ‘1.0’, false);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_accordion’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/jquery.accordion.js’, false, ‘1.0’, false);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_caroufredsel’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/jquery.carouFredSel-5.5.0.js’, false, ‘5.5.0’, false);

if (is_home() || is_front_page())

if (get_option($shortname.’_slider_type’) == ‘Accordion Slider’) {

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_accordion_slider’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/accordion/accordion.js’, false, ‘5.5.0’, false);

}

//if (is_home() || is_front_page())

//if (get_option($shortname.’_slider_type’) == ‘OneByOne Slider’) {

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_onebyone_slider’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/onebyone/jquery.onebyone.js’, false, ‘1.0’, false);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_touchwipe’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/onebyone/jquery.touchwipe.min.js’, false, ‘1.1.0’, false);

//}

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_prettyphoto’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/jquery.prettyPhoto.js’, false, ‘3.1.3’, false);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_main’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/main.js’, false, ‘1.1.0’, false);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_validationengine_lang’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/contact/languages/jquery.validationEngine-en.js’, false, ‘1.0’, false);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery_validationengine’, get_template_directory_uri().’/js/contact/jquery.validationEngine.js’, false, ‘2.5.1’, false);

} }

}

As far as I can see it should be OK. When you load a forum page, have you checked the source code being generated to see if jQuery is still being served up from google?

Thank you for replying.

Keeping with the above code edit:

On the forum page, nothing is being called from google (except fonts), only locally, but Add Topic is still not working.

On the other pages, all the sliders and tabs are working just fine.

I then tried a jquery plugin to update the wp jquery to the latest version thru WP jQuery Plus.

I’m so stuck! Thank you for keeping on top of this.

I also changed themes, which corrected the Add Topic issue. So it’s only the theme I’m using, for which I can’t get a response from the author….

I just loaded a forum page and it look to me like the main jQuery library is still being called from google (ajax.googleapis.com).

That may not be the only problem by the way but still has to be sorted first. SO… is this WITH the code change we made earlier?

yes, still as below:

—-

function my_init_scripts() {

if (sp_is_forumpage()) {

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’); } else {

if (!is_admin()) {

global $shortname;

wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);

wp_register_script(‘jquery’,’http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js’, false, ‘1.7.1’);

wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);

/* etc…. */

Ah – I meant ask this earlier. The file you attached was called ’99functions.php’. Is this what it is actually named? As WordPress will explicitly be looking for a file called ‘functions.php’ in the main theme folder.

sorry for the confusion, I did change it to functions.php. I’ve been using the numbers to keep track of the changes, but the version I’m uploading has the right name.

if it helps, I reattach the file to this reply. thank you again for trying to help!!! much, much obliged!!
