Date Picker breaking Slider

[themisfit]

I’m trying to modify the date picker in the Visual Form Builder plugin. I am able to get the code to do what it’s supposed to, but it breaks the slider on the site.

I have added the following code to the functions.php file of the theme and that seems to be what disables the slider.

function my_scripts_method() {
wp_register_script( ‘my-js-file’,
get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/my-js.js’,
array( ‘jquery’ ),
’1.0′,
false );

wp_enqueue_script( ‘my-js-file’ );
}

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_scripts_method’ );

Any help with this would be great.

Adding that code wouldn’t break the slider; instead, it’s what’s in that JS file that is most likely breaking the slider – make sure you’re running jQuery in no conflict mode.

Is this the proper way?

jQuery.noConlict(document).ready(function($) {
$.datepicker.setDefaults({
dateFormat: ‘d MM, yy’
});
});

Thanks for the help.

is it still causing issues when you try the non conflict?

Thanks

yes, it breaks the revolution slider and the blog carousel.

stmnetwork.ca is the site in question.

Are you adding this in a file? As it might have closed off the links to jquery you might want to reference it just before your script or try and add it into a js script that is referencing jquery and is getting pulled in by the page

Thanks

I have created a .js file in the JS folder of the theme.

I put this code

function my_scripts_method() {
   wp_register_script( 'my-js-file',
       get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/my-js.js',
       array( 'jquery' ),
       '1.0',
       false );
 
   wp_enqueue_script( 'my-js-file' );
}
 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method' );

In the functions.php file and added

<?php wp_enqueue_script("myUi","https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.min.js"); ?>

In the header.php file of the theme.

All of which breaks the slider and blog carousel.

I have tried it in other themes and it seems to work.

I have emailed the plugin developer and he says it should work with Jquery 1.7. Is that the version used by the theme?

[Cosmin – SUPPORT]

Nope, our theme is using the jQuery version that WordPress provides, so we can make sure things work the same for all people using the latest WP version.

That version currently is 1.8.3, so your plugin is outdated.
