Can't edit fields: Uncaught Error: no such method 'select' for tabs widget ...

  1. Hi!

    I found myself in a situation where I had to import an existing wordpress database, themes, and plugins into a new wordpress installation. All went well except for trying to edit existing fields within gravity forms. I can add new fields alright, but I can't edit them. I've tried uninstalling the plugin cleanly and reinstalling, no dice. Also checked to make sure all the paths were correct.

    I get this error in the javascript console:
    Uncaught Error: no such method 'select' for tabs widget instance

    Here's the error stack:
    Uncaught Error: no such method 'select' for tabs widget instance jquery.js:507
    jQuery.extend.error jquery.js:507
    (anonymous function) jquery.ui.widget.min.js:5
    jQuery.extend.each jquery.js:648
    jQuery.fn.jQuery.each jquery.js:270
    e.fn.(anonymous function) jquery.ui.widget.min.js:5
    LoadFieldSettings form_editor.js:576
    FieldClick form_editor.js:1718
    (anonymous function) form_editor.js:182
    jQuery.event.dispatch jquery.js:3074
    elemData.handle jquery.js:2750

    The call looks like it's made in form_editor.js on line 576 for the "select" method:
    jQuery("#field_settings").tabs("select", 0);

    Any help or ideas as to how I can clear this up?

  2. Looks like I had to do a manual update (http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update) ... that cleared things up for me.
