How can I roll back to jQuery 1.2.3 in WP 2.7?

  • I’ve had it. I originally fixed the jQuery 1.2.6 error in 2.6.3 by unregistering jQuery and registering jQuery 1.2.3 with some custom coding in functions.php. Now with 2.7 the de/register method is no longer working for me.

    The 2.7 admin menu sidebar does not degrade properly when jQuery throws an error so I’m without an admin menu on my site right now. Annoying.

    I would like to roll the site back to jQuery 1.2.3, but I’m not sure how. Any pointers?

  • I’m assuming you’ve customized the WP admin section. Do you want to rollback jQuery, or do you want to rollback WP? Is this more involved then changing a <script> tag in your header?

    I have not customized the admin section. I did find that NextGen gallery was sourcing jQuery 1.2.6 and it was colliding with the admin section inclusion of jQuery, though I’m unsure why.

    By deactivating NGG I now have access to the Help and Screen Options drop downs, but still no sidebar menu. It’s really frustrating.

    Use the new version of nextgen gallery ?

    Oh ok, I understand — didn’t know there was a plugin involved. Maybe customize the NGG file(s) to point to the same jQuery file that WP uses (and hence same version).

    I find it odd that jQuery would be causing the problem, since they don’t frequently remove core functionality from one release to the next (that I’m aware of, anyway). Maybe NGG uses a really old version? I was looking at the latest release of NGG and it looks like it uses jQuery 1.2.6 (current).
