[Plugin: Digg Digg] not working after upgrade to DiggDigg 5.2.6

After updating to Digg Digg 5.2.6 my floating display completely vanished. I notice that everything is loading but just doesn’t display. No matter where I try to place it to show up it just doesn’t. I am on WordPress version 3.3.2. If anyone knows a work around for this it would be appreciated.

Hi both,

Could you provide links to your sites so I can take a look for you?

Thanks

My website can be found at: https://www.android-advice.com … I have the floating display to show on the post pages not the homepage. It seems to be an issue with many others as any site I have updated to the newest itteration of WordPress and the newest DiggDigg are having the issue. Thank you

Brandon, it looks like your theme also includes a copy of jQuery. We updated 5.2.6 so it stopped including an old version of jQuery but includes the version bundled with WordPress. This seems to be causing a javascript error on your site which is stopping the bar from fading in.

Could you try adding the following code to your themes functions.php file (located at wp-content/themes/premiumnews/functions.php) If one doesn’t exist then creating one with the below code will work.

if(!is_admin()){
	wp_deregister_script('jquery');
}

This stops WordPress from putting the bundled jQuery into your themes header leaving only the one included via your theme. Let me know if this works.

That did it thank you, I will need to fiddle with the settings now since I have them all jacked up from trying to fix it myself ??

I did just notice that the LinkedIn button is sitting at the very bottom left of my site wherever the DiggDigg bar is active. Any thoughts on this?
