[Plugin: Meteor Slides] Conflict with WP-Bootstrap Theme?

Hi, the theme is deregistering the default copy of jQuery that is built into WordPress and registering it’s own copy in the functions.php:

wp_deregister_script('jquery'); // initiate the function
  wp_register_script('jquery', get_template_directory_uri().'/library/js/libs/jquery-1.7.1.min.js', false, '1.7.1');

For some reason jQuery is also being deregistered in library/bones.php:

if (!is_admin()) {
		wp_deregister_script('jquery');                                   // De-Register jQuery
		wp_register_script('jquery', '', '', '', true);                   // It's already in the Header
	}

Remove both of those code snippets and it will use the default copy of jQuery in WP. WordPress loads jQuery in no conflict mode.

That means you can’t use the “$” shortcut, you have to use the full “jQuery” version. So the library/js/scripts.js file won’t work. Wrap the code in that file with this and it will work fine:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    // scripts.js code
});

Now the Meteor Slides slideshow script and and the theme’s scripts should both be working.

Maybe for future use try a different Bootstrap theme.

Cheers. Seems to have worked like a charm on first glance.

Glad to hear it!

I’ve viewed a few cases/posts and this one describes my problem best.
Trying the solutions the errors in my dev tools (chrome) are actually getting more and more.
I set all files back to their original $ etc.

Is there any chance that a newer solution is available?
I’m using v 1.5.1 meteor slides and WordPress 3.6.1
In my theme i use the bones/bootstrap theme scripts

the slider has 3 images in it and it is there but not really showing the images

Hope to hear from anyone, as this post is already 11 months old.

I found a solution which is a little different to the above one
Only changed this in scripts.js in the bones library/js folder
$(document).ready(function() {
to
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

Then an error in the meta section of metoer plug-in was still there

I changed this in my template files
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘meteor_slideshow’ ) ) { meteor_slideshow( “algemeen”, “metadata” ); } ?>
to
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘meteor_slideshow’ ) ) { meteor_slideshow( “algemeen” ); } ?>

Et voila, maybe not a programmers choice but then again it works fine now

@punchcreative The second parameter should still be in the template tag, but if you don’t have any metadata, just leave it blank:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow( "algemeen", "" ); } ?>

Thanks Josh
