jQuery/theme conflicts?

    I am having issues with conditional formatting which, I assume, is related to jQuery but have no idea how to fix this. I've checked and the form works fine with Twenty Eleven so it's theme-related clashing.

    This is the site: http://putterhamgrille.com/wordpress/

    The related post is "Order Form."

    Any help/direction is appreciated!

    Hi there, this line here is your problem:

    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://putterhamgrille.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/SideWindr/sidewindr/js/jquery.js?ver=3.4.1'></script>

    WordPress by default comes with version 1.7.1 and you're trying to use 1.6.4.

    so changing the url to the wp version of js (1.7.1) should fix it?

    Or having the theme developer not include his own version of JQuery, and leave WordPress to use the latest one would also fix it. But yes, if you can remove that one and put in the 1.7.1 or above, it should go a long way towards fixing your current issue.

    ok, i've left a message with the theme developer and replaced the older jquery with 1.7.2 and it's still not working.

    We are going to have to wait for a response from the theme developer because I can't see any reason why Gravity Forms wouldn't work. It could be some kind of AJAX conflict, but I don't see any errors. And since you mentioned it worked in Twenty-Eleven, I'm not sure what I could do to unravel the issue.

    i just got this helpful reply from the theme developer:

    The theme required that specific version of jQuery, I can't test every plugin for every theme.</blockquote

    That's very helpful of him or her... I guess we at least know it is a theme conflict. Could you edit the header and pull out his JavaScript calls one by one until the offending one is found? It might remove features from your site, but at least it could help us narrow down the issue.

    header.php doesn't seem to call jquery. as per this forum and wordpress.org's help, i added a jquery call and that totally broke everything.

    you can see the header code here: http://pastie.org/4286014

    Can you re-load the Twenty-Eleven theme to confirm that it is a theme conflict?

    you want me to switch it now? so you can see? done - have a look, form appears fine.

    Okay, and switch it back. I am going to contact the dev team to see if there is anything we can do to help. We know it is a theme issue, so it is hard for us to untangle the special JQuery/JS he might have set-up.

    it seems that associating ajax with the form causes the problem. i created a new-non ajax form and it displays fine, but then disappears when i use conditionals.

    possibly helpful are the warnings via firebug's console, there are a lot of them so four pasties!

  16. AJAX not working and conditional logic not working are both symptoms of a JavaScript or jQuery conflict or error. You need to resolve those issues so that both AJAX and conditional logic will work.

    You posted a lot of CSS warnings which are unrelated and won't cause trouble with AJAX or conditional logic. I'm afraid you're back to talking to the developer who created the theme or site to resolve the conflict.

    firebug's console isn't showing any errors. do you have any other suggestions as to how to find an error?

    when conditional formatting is on, IE displays a wordpress comment form on the 'order online' post - is that helpful at all?

  19. That's not really helpful. But you might want to remove the contact form from this page since there is another form there already. But that is not causing your errors.
