Title: Possible Bug Report Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Possible Bug Report * Resolved [drokkon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drokkon/) * (@drokkon) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/) * It’s pretty well known that RocketTheme’s Gantry plugin doesn’t play nice with JetPack, and I know it’s not your fault. That darn spin.js error breaks things like the widget page, where you can’t drop down the widget areas, for example. * Anyway, on my multisite installation, I find myself disabling JetPack from the network level regularly for a few minutes to mess around with widgets, for example, and then reactivating it. Lately, however, I’ve noticed some strange behavior: once reactivated, JetPack is automatically “connected” for all two dozen blogs on my network EXCEPT for the primary blog. Each time, I have to go into that primary blog and manually reconnect JetPack to WordPress. I have no idea why, and perhaps this isn’t your problem since I shouldn’t be constantly activating and deactivating it anyway, but I thought I’d let you all know. * Thanks for a great plugin! Would still love to see IntenseDebate make an appearance. 🙂 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3813939) * > That darn spin.js error breaks things like the widget page, where you can’t > drop down the widget areas, for example. * We know about this issue. It’s caused by a namespace conflict between Mootools’ Spinner function, and Jetpack’s own spinner. Although not that many people use Mootools in WordPress themes, RocketTheme does, and we would need to find a solution to solve this conflict. * > Once reactivated, JetPack is automatically “connected” for all two dozen blogs > on my network EXCEPT for the primary blog.

You can use this plugin: * [http://i.wpne.ws/PRX9](http://i.wpne.ws/PRX9) * The code is available here: [https://gist.github.com/jeherve/5714915](https://gist.github.com/jeherve/5714915) * You could also try to deactivate all Jetpack modules that do require the spinner: Carousel, Custom CSS, Infinite Scroll, Notifications. * I hope this helps. * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3813944) * My colleague George proposed a better plugin, that you can download from here: [https://github.com/georgestephanis/nuke-spin](https://github.com/georgestephanis/nuke-spin) [https://github.com/georgestephanis/nuke-spin/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/georgestephanis/nuke-spin/archive/master.zip) * Thread Starter [drokkon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drokkon/) * (@drokkon) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3813980) * Great idea! Thank you. I wasn’t really expecting a solution, but I thought it would be nice just to point out the reactivation “bug,” if it is, indeed, a bug. * Thread Starter [drokkon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drokkon/) * (@drokkon) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3814048) * BTW – That worked like a charm! I’ll make sure that the folks over at the RocketTheme forums hear about this. Thanks! * [shazdeh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazdeh/) * (@shazdeh) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3814051) * Why not rename the Spin class in the JetPack to resolve the issue? From what I understand, the Spin class is in MooTools core so no way to modify that, but the one in the plugin would be easily modifiable, no? * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3814052) * [@shazdeh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazdeh/) That’s one of the solutions we’re considering, indeed. We’ll work on getting this fixed in a next jetpack release. * You can follow along here if you like: [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1768](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1768) * [shazdeh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazdeh/) * (@shazdeh) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3814053) * Brilliant; thank you! 🙂 * Thread Starter [drokkon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drokkon/) * (@drokkon) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-bug-report/#post-3814079) * Did 2.3 address this issue?
