Need help with: Property '$' of object [object Window] is not a function

[LLLLLLL]

I'm having a conflict between jQuery versions or something, I get Property '$' of object [object Window] is not a function

 

I've read about using $.noConflict() or other potential fixes but I cannot get any solution to work. The working page is http://americangene.com/checkout/ -- the problem is between the cart's jQuery and the jQuery in use by the WordPress template. Any suggestions are welcome.

Take a look at line 447 of the source for that link. The WordPress JS is making the call to noConflict(), meaning the $ reference has been removed when your code runs at document ready.

Ok, but does this mean, I guess, that I need to add something at the bottom of all the script? And what?

 

I very much appreciate it.

You either need to remove the noConflict() call, or reference jQuery the standard way: jQuery('...');

[LLLLLLL]

Yeah, the "standard way" isn't an option with this silly theme. I removed noConflict and cleaned up a couple other things. Working now. Thank you.

why don't you just upgrade to the latest jQuery and use only one instance of it?

[LLLLLLL]

Well as I said before, the "standard way" or "right way" is not an option here. There are two different technologies on one page, and they each have their own stuff going on. I'm not a fan of these cookie-cutter theme things that require so much nonsense (when CSS is truly all that was needed).

 

But this topic is solved.
