 * Hi, I have been developing a site using Business Directory and it’s worked fine
   up until now.
 * All Ajax functions fail to work in every section of this plugin. In the front
   end, I can’t view past page 1 (over 1000 entries entered into the directory).
 * I can’t submit a new directory listing (it appears to work at first: the form
   submits, but then the submitted entry does not appear in the backend).
 * In the backend, I cannot review, approve or delete any entries/listings.
 * Most of the time, I Firebug notifies me with the message “Error: sack is not 
   defined” or “Error: jQuery is not defined”
 * What’s going on? Thanks

 * I am not as well advanced in buddypress as it appears that you are but I have
   a problem when submitting any elements of the form as an error message comes 
   up saying
 * An ajax error occurred whilst searching, please reload the page and try again.
 * However the informations does seem to process once the box has been closed down.
 * Is this rlated to your problem and are you any further on in overcoming it.
 * Help!

 * Unfortunately I have not yet been able to resolve this problem. Also your problem
   seems different from mine.
 * The only instance this has happened that I could find (via google) was for a 
   plugin called wp decoratr. However, the issue was resolved on the plugin author’s
   side and thus never fully explained.
 * I’ve also tried updating my wordpress installation from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 but nothing
   changed.
 * Has no one else heard of, or have read something similar to this issue?

 * I dot know if this has anything to do with it but I recently asked my server 
   to upgrade me to php5. It now seams to have solved the problem. Either that or
   the problem was solved by someone else at the same time.
 * Thanks for the input.

 * Okay, I’ve managed to solve the problem.
 * The issue was indeed a corrupted WordPress file, or files.
 * By copying a fresh version of the wp-includes folder and pasting it into my site,
   I managed to solve the described AJAX (SACK) and jQuery problem mentioned previously.
   This also fixed an issue where the WYSIWYG editor failed to function or appear
   properly.
 * Business Directory now works properly both in the back end and the front end.
