Using legacy version(s) of jQuery? Please halp.

  • I finally found a image gallery solution and image gallery I like.

    It’s highly customizable for me and extremely easy to use for my clients.

    It’s set up using the plug-in gallery without the fluff and is configured to work with galleriffic. Unfortunatly, galleriffic doesn’t run on jQuerys latest release. I got the gallery working on my localhost just fine by switching out WordPress’s jQuery file in wp-includes (which I know can’t be the best solution.)

    I know it’s possible to include versions when I use wp_enqueue_script(); but is this the best idea? Should I just find a different image gallery?

    Just want an opinion, I know I can make this work if I keep on this particular problem but maybe someone else has been here before and has found a better solution.

  • switching out WordPress’s jQuery file in wp-includes

    Never, EVER, remove core jQuery from WordPress. You will stop many plugins working and could even stop WP from working effectively. Nor, I’m afraid, should you ever use two versions of jQuery simultaneously.

    Were you aware that Galleriffic is documented to work with jQuery 1.3.2 or later?

    Don’t worry I switched it back, I was just trying to see if using the preferred version of jQuery would make the gallery work, which it did. So far, nothing I’ve done has gotten it to work with the latest jQuery.

    It was only when I did switch it out did, though, I got functionality which is bringing me to this dilemma.

    Sounds like Galleriffic needs updating. Are there no other galleries out there that you could use? Have you looked through the gallery plugins?
