the plugin is creating a white page when I try to post.  so I’d like help to make it show the editing bar, and allow me to add a topic, rather than create a useless blank white page.  

I am new to all this.  I’m not sure what to do with that code.

no, I was trying to tell you that your wp theme or another plugin is incorrectly using that code… its loading an very old, ancient version of jquery…  its conflicting with the version of jquery that wp loads…

the link is info explaining how wp theme or plugin devs screw up using off site jquery like that causing wp issues… it also has suggestions on how to fix…

but we can help further if you can help narrow down the violating theme or plugin…

first, try a temp switch to the default wp theme and see if it clears up…  if not, then disable other wp plugins and see if working… if so, then reactivate one by one until it breaks… then we can work from there…

Thank you for clarifying.  I’ve found the culprit.  it’s the Social Discussions plugin.  Whenever I deactivate, the editing bar works fine.  Is there a way to keep both?  I really need social discussions & would like the editing bar as well.  or perhaps there is another editing plugin I can use that doesn’t conflict.  I’ve tried the html editor and that seems to do the same thing.  Its peculiar b/c at first the editing bar worked fine.  then maybe a 1/2 hour later I began to get that white page.

I would always advocate asking the author of the plugin to write their code to WP API standards and NOT use the google library as they have done. Interestingly, the WP plugin repository now states they will not accept plugins that use the google CDN in this way.

Or you can edit it yourself but you will need to find the location in the plugin code where it loads the script form google. Once found we can tell you how to correct it.

I’m going 2 attempt to contact the plugin developer.  In the meantime, i’d like to try my hand at editing it myself.  As I stated, I really don’t know much about editing code, but I’ve successfully edited a little before.  Do you have any idea of what to look for in the code?  

search the plugin code files… look for the script loading code I detailed in post #3… once you find it, we can help you try to correct it to use the wp jquery… but since that version being loaded is very, very old, it might possibly break something else in the outdated theme…  but if that is the case we can help work around it too…

but need to find where the plugin is outputting that script loading code…

Look for that ‘ajax.googleapis.com’ domain in the code… when you find it, paste that section of code and we can help out.

I went to WP>Plugins>Social Discussions> Edit & looked for that code. checked 3x and then went into filezilla and checked the css files for that script.  Nowhere to be found.  Am I looking in the right place??

You are possibly looking in the wrong place. It is more likely to be found in your WP theme I think…

on Wordpess i went to appearance > editor which took me to the Periodic: stylesheet (style.css)

this page didn’t have anything starting with <script type> at all

I tried filezilla

wp content > themes > periodic > periodic-editor style.css  and nothing there either

i checked style.css and even functions.php and nothing.

hate to be a burden, but I just don’t even know where to find that script you are speaking of.  I am so frustrated & have not heard from social discussion help desk yet.

If you want us to look then please PM WP Admin credentials to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’.
Include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem.
And one of us will take a look for you.

And there it was – exactly as predicted – in the theme functions.php file.

So that is corrected.

But – you are still having script errors – this time in the ajaxForm (jquery.form.js) which is messing with forms. I think the basic problem might be that you just have so much stuff being loaded. There are a very large number of script files being loaded there many of which I suspect are just not being used. Make sure you clean out ALL plugins that you are not using – it might even make the site load quicker. It actually crashed my browser twice.

What the issue is with the forms script I do not know but there is something going on with it that is causing errors.
