 * See the error in action here: [http://movementsearch.com](http://movementsearch.com)
 * This error only shows up when the Lightbox Plus Colorbox (v2.7) plugin is active:
 * [Error] Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: .
    error (jquery.js, line
   2) ob (jquery.js, line 2) xb (jquery.js, line 2) db (jquery.js, line 2) find (
   jquery.js, line 2) init (jquery.js, line 2) init (jquery-migrate.min.js, line
   2) n (jquery.js, line 2) (anonymous function) (movementsearch.com, line 625) 
   j (jquery.js, line 2) fireWith (jquery.js, line 2) ready (jquery.js, line 2) 
   K (jquery.js, line 2)
 * When plugin scripts are loaded in the header, it prevents the site from loading.
   When scripts are loaded in the footer, site loads fine but the error is still
   present.

 * An update is imminent it sounds like that will likely fix jquery issues.

 * God I hope so. 😉
 * I think the problem is a conflict with the image carousel but I can’t quite put
   my finger on it.
