Latest update Interfering with Slider and Cufon.

[David]

Website: http://www.stoneharborbarandgrill.com
Theme: Adora by Ermartk
Wordpress 3.5, Event Calendar 2.0.11 & Pro 2.0.11
This theme includes a slider 850px x 250px just below the navigation and logo. It also feature cufon font replacement. both of these feature will not work correctly with just Events Calendar or Events Calendar + Pro activated. They work only when using IE, no other browser including Safari, Opera, Firefox & Chrome. They did work fine in the past. I contacted the author of the premiunm theme and he said it was the fault of the Calendar. I deactivarted the Calendar and the slider and cufon font replacement then worked. I have reactivated the plugins so you may investigate. Thanks for any help.

Hi David, I’d invite you to read this thread – it’s relevant in your case because the version of jQuery active on your site is 1.4.2, which is a comparatively old version.

The Events Calendar expects jQuery to be the same version as that which is bundled with WordPress (currently 1.8.3).

I don’t know if it is your theme or in fact some other plugin that is swapping out the bundled version of jQuery for an older version – very often it is the theme that is responsible for this – but you could check this out by disabling all other plugin except for your Modern Tribe ones. If the problem persists, then it is indeed your theme that is responsible.

The question you should then pose to the theme author is, “Will your theme work with the version of jQuery that actually ships with WordPress?”

The theme indeed is using the old jquery. I deactivated all the plugins and still had the conflict with slider and cufon options. I reinstalled the version 2.05 of the events calendar & pro and the problem was solved. I am inquiring of the theme author if they intend to update the theme with the newest jquery called. Thanks for the help.

No problem, happy to help 🙂

Since there’s not a lot more we can do for you here (if another plugin or theme swaps out a default and expected component of WordPress for something different, it’s beyond our control) I’ll close this thread.

If you have any other issues or feel you need further support from us on this one feel free to create a new topic.

Thanks!
