Since you said it was coming from the theme, you would only need to target JS files that the theme is referencing. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/character-limit-not-working-on-wordpress-site#post-73133 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 16:18:33 +0000 kevinmetz 73133@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hm, this was my first gut instinct (went to jquery website and found 1.7.2.min.js), I updated the source file as your can see by modifying the script. Is there another script file that needs updating? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/character-limit-not-working-on-wordpress-site#post-73128 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 16:04:46 +0000 Rob Harrell 73128@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Well, a really easy work around would be to navigate here:<br /> <a href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" rel="nofollow">http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js</a></p> <p>Then open up that file I referenced in the screenshot on your server and paste the contents of the above link into the file in question and save. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/character-limit-not-working-on-wordpress-site#post-73125 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 16:01:05 +0000 kevinmetz 73125@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If it's cutting/pasting code where it needs to go, then yes I am comfortable. Hard coding from scratch?

That's why we usually defer to the theme creator. Do you have any experience with coding at all? Is this a task you are comfortable with? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/character-limit-not-working-on-wordpress-site#post-73117 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 15:38:55 +0000 kevinmetz 73117@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have access to the theme creator. How would I go about updating jquery to 1.7.2? I also got rid of CF7, but to no avail. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/character-limit-not-working-on-wordpress-site#post-73111 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 15:20:18 +0000 David Peralty 73111@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Try turning off Contact Forms 7 and see if that helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/character-limit-not-working-on-wordpress-site#post-73106 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 15:06:08 +0000 Rob Harrell 73106@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You'd have to find the offending JavaScript that is conflicting. Do you have access to the theme creator? My guess would be because you are using an old version of jQuery in your theme. Take a look at this <a href="http://www.evernote.com/shard/s212/sh/e98b63a6-7c13-4b7a-91d3-4be6fb1c3fdc/282607121c75b208be7bd48b8ea721e1" rel="nofollow">screenshot</a></p> <p>The current version is 1.7.2 that is included with WordPress. Themes often include and hard-code local jQuery versions at the theme level, which means it's easy to overlook updating that. </p>
