Compatability w 3.5??

No problem Baden – whenever you like.

My live site (https://www.projectplanservices.co.uk/planning-solutions/) seems to be working fine with Collapse-o-matic 1.4.9 and WordPress 3.5.1 so my visitors have no problem.

Test site (https://test8.nickwingfielddesign.co.uk/planning-solutions/) is also working fine too because it is using same combination. But if it helps you I’ll change it back to Collapse-o-matic 1.52c so you can see the problem that causes.

No worries either way …

Hi Baden

Just tried the latest version (1.5.4) – but I’m afraid I still get the same problems I described 9 months ago (see my first post above). I had the same problems with 1.5.3.

So for the last 9 months I’ve had to stick with 1.4.9.

I’m not saying I have any problems with 1.4.9 – it appears to be working fine for me – I’m not really sure what improvements I’m missing – but I just thought I should keep you informed for subsequent updates.

Great plugin, by the way!

Nick

PS. I’m running WordPress 3.7.1. All other plugins are up to date

Hello Nick,

Just took another look at your site and here is the problem:
Simple Events Calendar 1.3.4 by Jerry G. Rietveld of Studio Stacks (www.studiostacks.com) is force-loading an ancient version of jQuery that overwrites the version that WordPress already loaded. If you look at your source you will see the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/lib/jquery.js"></script>

This is jQuery 1.2.3b from 2008.

Please verify that when you de-activate the simple events calendar plugin our plugin works. We look forward to learning your results.

Hi Baden

Thanks for looking into my situation.

I’ve just tried deactivating Simple Events Calendar 1.3.4 and updating Collapse-O-Matic.

Unfortunately the problem is the same.

I haven’t changed it back yet so you can see for yourself:

https://test8.nickwingfielddesign.co.uk
Homepage now has grey box instead of Meteor Slides image slider

https://test8.nickwingfielddesign.co.uk/planning-solutions/
This is the page using Collapse-O-Matic. You’ll see they don’t open any more

I’ll leave the test site up like this until you get back to me.

Once again, thanks for looking into this

Cheers

Nick

Wow, you have TWO MORE forced oudated jQuery loads:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/lib/jquery.js"></script>

and direct in your theme’s header.php file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

Here is an article that should give you a better idea of what is going on:

Brilliant Baden! You’ve solved it!

I read the article you directed me to.

Then from footer.php, I deleted:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

That didn’t change anything. So I looked at header.php.

I deleted, a whole chunk of jQuery that all seemed to be about accordion:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/lib/jquery.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="https://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/lib/chili-1.7.pack.js"></script>

	<script type="text/javascript" src="https://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/lib/jquery.easing.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="https://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/lib/jquery.dimensions.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="https://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/jquery.accordion.js"></script>

	<script type="text/javascript"><!--

			// second simple accordion with special markup
			jQuery('#tableSolutions .basic').accordion({
				    autoHeight: true
			});

		//-->
	</script>

When I did this everything worked.

Finally I reactivated Simple Events Calendar 1.3.4 – and it still worked!

A couple of notes:

1. I didn’t create the theme – I took over from someone else – but I’ll watch out for jQuery conflicts in future!

2. I assumed the accordion stuff related to Collapse-O-Matic. But now I suspect it’s from a similar plugin that I tried and discarded. I’m pretty sure I would have deleted it the correct way – so it’s bad if it has left a load of unwanted code in the header!

Anyway, problem solved – and I apologise for thinking for a moment that Collapse-O-Matic was the cause of the problem.

MANY MANY THANKS

Nick

Glad everything worked out for you!
