Hey Dave,
It looks like there is a javascript conflict on the page. I see at least 2 versions of jQuery being loaded. I believe you’ll need to use at leaset jQuery 1.5. It looks like jQuery 1.4.2 and jQuery 1.4.4 are being loaded. You might try upgrading to WP 3.2.1 first. Then, see if you have a plugin conflict that is forcing an older version of jQuery on the page.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the fast reply.
I have been looking into the plug-ins which are loading older jQuery versions and find that I do need them & ATM there are no upgrades.
For instance I am using kino-event-calendar plug-in which is loading jQuery 1.4.2 and I don’t really want to lose it, as there is no suitable replacement.
I will first try a work around by using the movingboxes-wp plug-in, which does work. If that doesn’t look good enough I will just have to bite the bullet ….
Thanks for all your help – appreciated.
Hey Dave,
No need to lose the plugins. You can tell WP to not load jQuery via those plugins. There are 2 ways to go about doing this.
1. hack the plugin and comment out the line that loads jQuery.
2. deregister that plugin’s version of jQuery.
option 2 may not work, depending on how the plugin author is enqueueing the script. option 1 isn’t upgrade safe, but will definitely work.

Hey 11hundred,
Your site looks great!
I’ve tested in IE7 on Windows 7 and was unable to reproduce an error. Everything looked fine for me.

weird, it could be that I’m viewing it in IE tester, which isn’t ideal, but my xp wont let me delete IE8 and install IE7, ahh the joys…
even weirder, just looked and it IS working.. maybe a delay in wordpress css cacheing..
Thanks for a great plugin Jacob..
Hi Jacob,
Just to say thanks for your great support & help. I now have my site sliding stuff about.
In case anyone else is having similar problems, these are the steps I took to solve it.
Firstly I updated to WP 3.2.1 AFTER doing a full backup, which meant that the default WP jQuery was the latest version (1.6.1 I believe).
After the update I tried my AnythingSlider test page, but still no luck. However just listing the source showed that WP was loading the newer 1.6.1 version and I still had a plug-in loading an older version.
I found the culprit, in my case kino-event-calendar plug-in and just deleted the line in kino-events.php which was loading the older jQuery from an external website –
After that, everything worked fine, including kino-event-calendar, so now I can start to find the best settings for AnythingSlider.
Thanks for the great plug-in Jacob – wish you well
