I will try to look at your site again in bit, but in the meantime, try a
quick temp switch to the wp default theme and see if it works. Will
help narrow down the conflict.

it’s working now. I disabled the top tabs of my website and advanced widget plugin. It sucks that advanced widget plugin is not compatible with simple-press. Btw, how do you find the errors?

I would not say its not compatible with simple press. I would say it has
issues with wp. Its use the $ namespace in the jquery. WP prefers a
nonconflicting namespace… you could just replace $ with jQuery and see
if it works…

or play with the js in footer option and see if that would help…

You can find these errors with the firebug add on for firefox, or the
dev tool of choice for other browsers.

How do you replace $ with jQuery? sorry i’m not familiar at all with jQuery.

edit the js file and literally replace $ with jQuery… not sure how
much js there really is so not sure how big a task.

This may sound stupid but I’ll just literally replace the symbol $ with the word jQuery? that sounds very simple

lol. understand. but yes. in the js file that is throwing the error.

I’m going to do this myself but am I supposed to replace all that $ symbol on the js file that’s causing the error? or it’s just a specific line? 

I realized that you’re going beyong simple-press now. I just wanna thank you for your help and time.

you probably want to replace all of them in that file… I say probably
only because there is a very small chance that the $ could be used in a
code statement where you wouldnt want to replace it… just save a
copy of the file before you make changes just in case…
