Oh, it won’t let me post code, even between tags?
When I google that error I see posts referring to WP running it’s jQuery library in no-conflict mode.
People say that errors like this are syntax issues – the jQuery library included with WordPress loads in “no conflict” mode. This is to prevent compatibility problems with other javascript libraries that WordPress can load. In “no-confict” mode, the $ shortcut is not available and the longer jQuery is used, i.e.
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
By including the $ in parenthesis after the function call you can then use this shortcut within the code block.
This is a bit beyond me – does anyone else see this behaviour and have any idea if the above solution is implemented in BP to cause no conflicts?
Would love some help!

Here’s the error in pastebin:

I’m no expert in jQuery but I think buddypress.js uses jq to reference jQuery. And it’s perfectly OK to do that if you do something like this var jq = jQuery; (which buddypress.js does). I don’t think the problem is with buddypress.js. Instead, check jQuery is enqueued on your homepage. And also check you’re enqueueing it just once.
@henrywright Cheers Henry – I’ve passed this on.
I’ll report back what I find if we manage to fix it.
