[Plugin: WordPress Popular Posts] jQuery Enqueue in Admin Problem

You may want to add a conditional (!is_admin) statement to you jQuery enqueue so that you’re only swapping jQuery in the front-end. The jQuery swap is causing conflicts for me in the backend (Navigation dropdowns not working, etc). Once I commented out your jQuery enqueue, everything went back to normal.

Also, It’s pretty common to have an option for users to choose whether or not they want their jQuery pulled in externally or not — you might want to think about that as well.
