[Plugin: My Calendar] jQuery Interferance

There’s usually a solution, but it ultimately is pretty tweaky depending on the exact nature of the plug-ins you’re using.

It sounds like your existing scripts are dependent on an earlier version of jQuery than that used natively by WordPress. If you’re enqueueing an earlier version of jQuery, than it’s also likely that those menus and sliders are expecting jQuery not to be in no-conflict mode – which is the WordPress default.

So, you’ll have to either tweak your current scripts to support the standard WordPress usage of jQuery (current version, no-conflict mode), or you’ll have to tweak My Calendar so that it’s compatible with conflict mode and jQuery 1.4.2.

Either way, you’ve got to tweak something – and without specific knowledge of the issues, I can’t really give you any specific advice.

I’ve been thinking about it, and what about just using conditional statements in the theme functions file to say only load the new jQuery for pages where My Calendar is displayed, since they don’t need anything from the menus on those pages. Would this work? If so, what file in My Calendar are you loading the jQuery in?

That would work, presumably. jQuery is loaded in my-calendar-core.php, in the function mc_header_js().
