Latest Constructor Theme 1.4.1 fixes the conflict issue.

Latest Constructor theme 1.4.1 release fixes the conflict issue.

I switched to the default TwentyTen theme for a test and everything ran perfectly. Switched back and the issues return. It’s definitely interaction with the theme. I also found that when I go to the theme customization options for Constructor, some of the settings do not function if NextGEN is activated.

As for the problem scenarios – When selecting a NextGEN panel, I get the following error reported in firebug console:

$(“.constructor-accordion”).accordion is not a function
[Break On This Error] navigation: true

The block of js code from the theme that chokes everything is:

// Accordion
$('.constructor-accordion').accordion({
 autoHeight: false,
 navigation: true
 });

I don’t know much about js, but this function looks pretty basic. I’m guessing there is some deeper underlying conflict that is causing the issue.

Unfortunately I am too heavily invested in the constructor theme to change away from it now. If that theme itself is at fault, then I can try to pursue the author as I would’t expect you to fix someone else’s problem. However, everything ran fine with the previous NextGEN version, so I don’t really know who is stepping on who’s toes when it comes to the conflict.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

I am not getting whitescreens, only failure of certain functions.

It looks like javascript may be failing, and it looks like the conflict is with my theme. Why would the theme affect the back-end admin functions of other plug-ins?

This is the page error I get:

I’m running the latest WP-Constructor theme 1.3.1.

This was all working fine before I upgraded to NextGEN 1.7.0. No errors, no issues. Something in the new NextGEN is now conflicting. I know Constructor theme was actually built to run with NextGEN for some of it’s slideshow functionality.

I’ve put a lot of time building my site around this theme, so I’m not really in a position to change it, which means I’m stuck right now.
