Hi Tracy,

I checked your site and it turns out the active WordPress theme is using a very old version of the jQuery library (version 1.6.4). Event Espresso requires the current version of jQuery that the current version of WordPress includes (the current version of jQuery that WordPress includes is version 1.10.2)

Can you check with the theme author to see if there is an update to this theme? If not, the theme may be able to be modified so that it will use the current version of jQuery or it may help to install the Restore jQuery plugin.

Hi there,

Can the theme developer offer assistance on how to modify the theme so it includes the correct jQuery library? If not, usually it’s something in the functions.php that will look like this:

function remove_wp_jquery() {
  if (is_admin()) return;
  wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
  wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js');
  wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}

The above can be changed to:

function remove_wp_jquery() {
  if (is_admin()) return;
  wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}
