• Development Site: vstar.jlbworks.net/calculate-2/

    Old client site: vanstar.com

    I am in the process of extracting a calculator function from an old site for a client, the function is mostly javascript plugged right into the template but also script called from the wp directory:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/javascripts/jquery.shuffleLetters.js"></script>

    I didn’t want to edit my template files So i downloaded a plugin that allows me to place javascript right into a page called: code embed.

    The plugin works and the HTML / JS that I embeded is preforming how it is suppose to for the most part wit the exception of the last part that is utilizing the shuffleLetters.js script.

    The main problem is the server is halting performance because it detects mod security issues generated through the script I am trying to run.
    How do I prevent that?

    The next issue is weather or not the code is calling the script in the directory correctly?
