The problem is that your other plugin may load another version of jQuery in which case the conflict will occur. To fix the issue you have to add
jQuery.noConflict();
before the
$(document).ready(…) call.
After this, you have to replace all $ signs with keword: jQuery in your script files.
This worked for me!
