    Hi guys,

    I’m a novice at this, and so far, I’ve managed to find many answers to issues using forums and other people’s queries, but now I’m truly stumped.

    I got a jquery plugin (jqueryLoader by gayadesigns) to work on my computer’s localhost, but when I put it through wordpress (also on my localhost), it doesn’t work anymore. I don’t really know what’s going on and I really want to fix it.

    Basically, I wanted to create a horizontal gallery and load images directly from folders in the upload directory. However, I don’t want a blank screen, but the jqueryLoader to show something’s happening. Any help is truly appreciated.

    Was this jquery plugin written to work with WordPress? I’m guessing not.

    As you say you are a novice you might be better off looking for a WordPress plugin that does what you want. jQuery scripts need adapting to work with WP.

    Thanks for helping. I don’t think the plugin was made to work with WordPress, but I was hoping to alter it some how.

    It’s by gayadesigns and it creates a progress bar that loads all the images in a page using a great animation. I don’t think I can create that myself at this stage and I’m not too sure if wordpress has anything like that.

    I’ve followed the advice of changing $(… into jQuery(… amd that doesn’t work in wordpress, but outside it’s fine. I tried making a function.php as proposed by Eric Martin http://www.ericmmartin.com/5-tips-for-using-jquery-with-wordpress/, but that didn’t work either.

    I’ve tried using wp_enqueue_script and wp_register_script in various combinations. Yet, I get nothing!

    did you look at using jQuery.noConflict() ?

    jQuery.noConflict() – Where should I use that? Do you think there is conflict with the plugin?

    I just had an issue, and tried using the noConflict.. and failed.

    But I think the correct format is
    var jj = jQuery.noConflict();

    then use jj in place of $ – if of course that was the issue. But That didn’t even work, so I ended up using jQuery like you did.

    sorry not much use to you 🙁
