 *     ```
       catInput.autocomplete({
   
                       minLength: 0,
   
                       source: categories,
   
                       focus: function( event, ui ) {
   
                           catInput.val( ui.item.label.replace(/&/g, "&") );
   
                           return false;
   
                       },
   
                       select: function( event, ui ) {
   
                           catInput.val( ui.item.label.replace(/&/g, "&") );
   
                           catInputID.val( ui.item.value );
   
                           return false;
   
                       }
   
                   }).data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
   
                       return $( "<li>" )
   
                           .data( "item.autocomplete", item )
   
                           .append( "<a>" + item.label + "</a>" )
   
                           .appendTo( ul );
   
                   };

   that you are having?

 * im not 100% sure but i think that this is the cause for other plugin’s not functioning
   correctly, ive installed another plugin and it seems to be oka for now. but would
   still like to know where this code is so i can fix it

 * Try deactivating all plugins until the problem goes away. If it does then you
   have a method for finding the plugin with the problem. If it doesn’t then your
   theme may be responsible and you’ll need to contact who ever gave you it for 
   assistance.
