I can see both sides to that. Sure, it’s probably a waste to load jQuery if you’re not using it, but the mere fact that you have this plugin installed means that it’s assumed to be used “somewhere”, a vast majority of WordPress plugins depend on it anyway, it’s part of the WordPress ecosystem, and also if you’ve loaded it on a page already, the caching of that script from these CDNs would make it a non-issue on subsequent pages anyway. Seeing how individuals using this plugin currently would assume it would be enqueued, I’d need more of a reason to change this than what I find to be a very specific scenario that hasn’t come up since this has been released.

Hi,
I don’t see anything new on that repo ??

I can certainly understand your frustration around that plugin messing with another and I’m definitely on the same page. I’m not saying I won’t play ball with trying to find a solution, but since I haven’t run into this situation myself, I’d rather see what the W3TC team has to say about this; as it seems like a pretty apparent bug if it is true.

Hi,
That sounds like more of a general question around dequeuing scripts, correct?

Closing this for now since it’s not something I can directly impact within this plugin.

Hey wallyO,
Good suggestion on the fix! Yeah a bit curious myself as to why Google hasn’t picked it up yet, but a good workaround for the time being nonetheless!

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion with that. If you don’t mind, you can create a PR on https://github.com/zslabs/wp-jquery-plus and tag me and I’ll get a notification around that so I can do some further testing on my end. Thanks!

Hey @wallyo,
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll leave this open to see if we get anyone else agreeing with the option here.

1.1.2 release coming out now to restore PHP 5.3 compatibility so you should be fine to upgrade to it ??

In the event you are running PHP 5.3, I also decided to drop support for PHP 5.3 since End of Life was 14 Aug 2014.

Please make sure your development/production environments are using a supported version of PHP.

Could you let me know what WP versions you are both on? Not seeing any errors on my end in the frontend or backend.

Could you also pass along the error you are seeing and a list of plugins you have installed?

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into it.

Did you hook that into wp_head() after jQuery has been loaded? If you do something like:

add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_jquery_noconflict’);

it should get you off on the foot. A developer can help you further. Like I mentioned, I have never had to do that personally, but if you do need this workaround, that should do it. Thanks.

No, more like just adding this to your site specific plugin or functions.php file:

function wp_jquery_noconflict() { ?>
  <script type='text/javascript'>try{jQuery.noConflict();}catch(e){};</script>
<?php }

Hi,
I’d recommend adding what you have there from the other plugin you mentioned if you require noConflict mode. I normally use this as a standard to go by when writing my scripts. I have not run into issues with any other plugins written.

I’d make sure permissions are set correctly – usually why upgrades on our end hang.
