You have to disable both the masonry plug in, inside the functions.php file, but also the part that it connects to. That’s inside the theme folder on your server. (I couldn’t find it because I was using the wordpress css editor)
If you go on your server and open up the folder with the theme in it, it’ll be under wp-content/themes/max-magazine/js/custom.js
Open custom.js and remove this:
‘jQuery(‘#sidebar’).masonry({
itemSelector: ‘.widget’
});’
Upload that back to your server and then delete this:
wp_enqueue_script(‘masonry’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/jquery.masonry.min.js’, array(‘jquery’));
from your functions.php file.
This should solve the sidebar problem and keep your jquery stuff working.
I kept finding parts of this solution everywhere, but for some reason there wasn’t the whole thing out there all in one place. I figure the ones like me who were stumped could’ve been using the wordpress editor.
