Plugin causing javascript conflicts in the admin dashboard.

Hey there!

This is a problem! Can you let me know what the specific error was you were having (ie, what error was being displayed in the console?)

I have tested in our development environment, both creating a New Category from the Edit Post screen as well as adding Tags to the post, from the Edit Post screen, and I have no issues doing so and see no errors in my console.

If you can help point us in the right direction we’ll definitely look into this! This is the first report we’ve received of this kind.

All the best,
Richard

Here’s the error I’m getting in my console on the ‘Edit Post’ page:
“TypeError: $ is not a function”

And it’s referencing this js file:
../custom-banners/lib/BikeShed/js/bikeshed.js?ver=1.0

As the console is open, another error keeps firing:
“TypeError: e is undefined” and is referencing the WP load-scripts.php file

I just installed the plugin on a different site of mine and it’s causing the same errors. It seems to wipe out anything that’s run by js/jquery in the admin dashboard… quick edit, permalink edit, add tags, add new category, etc.

Thanks!

There was a $/jQuery issue that was presenting on your site; the error you pasted pointed us in the right direction.

We have a check in place to prevent this error but it apparently isn’t working for you.

We will release a patch that fixes this issue for you — thanks again for letting us know!

This was patched in 1.5.3
