 * Hi,
 * I am having following error in the js files details of which is appended here
 *     ```
       TypeError: jQuery(...).cycle is not a function
   
       fit: rt_fit
       ```
   
 * This error is appearing on line 57 of rotating_tweet.js. I am using latest version
   of WordPress, with updated version of plugin (1.7.4) with Avada theme. The link
   to the site is [here ](http://tallgrasspr.com/)
 * What do you suggest to fix this?

 * It’s generally hard to fix these without seeing the site.
 * A quick fix might be switching to version 2 of the JavaScript.
 * I’ve had problems with the Avada template in the past, mainly because it used
   to load its own version of `jquery.cycle` which clashes with the one that Rotating
   Tweets uses. I thought I had a fix, but it appears I didn’t! But, as said, it’s
   hard to fix without seeing the site.

 * I know that there was problem in past, and you helped to get it fixed, i have
   shared the link >>[http://tallgrasspr.com/](http://tallgrasspr.com/) where this
   problem is appearing.

 * Moving to version 2 of the Rotating Tweets JavaScript on the Rotating Tweets 
   setting page is probably the fastest way to fix this.
 * It does look like the same problem as [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-rotation-of-tweets?replies=5)
   however I don’t know why the solution no longer works!
 * Does the code:
 *     ```
       wp_deregister_script( 'jquery.cycle' );
           wp_register_script( 'jquery.cycle', get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/js/jquery.cycle.lite.js', array(), false, true);<br />
       	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery.cycle' );
       ```
   
 * still exist somewhere in the Avada theme? Might they – possibly – have changed
   the name of the script?

 * I have not updated the theme or anything. I think I have added Qcapcha on the
   site, which has resulted in breaking this functionality. However I will retest
   and confirm.

 * Yup. It’s QapTcha that’s broken the site. I hadn’t spotted that before.
 * It puts in a second copy of jQuery and that’s pretty much guaranteed to wreck
   everything (including a bunch of Avada functionality) – because everything earlier
   on the page gets overwritten.
 * How did you install it? It appears to be a very poorly written plug-in that doesn’t
   follow WordPress coding standards.
 * One thing that might work would be to set the option for Rotating Tweets to load
   at the bottom of the page on the settings page. If that doesn’t work, then you
   will need to uninstall QapTcha.

 * I had just added the js files in the custom script section of the theme,
 *     ```
       <!-- include CSS & JS files -->
       <!-- CSS file -->
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/QapTcha.jquery.css" media="screen" />
   
       <!-- jQuery files -->
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/jquery-ui.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/jquery.ui.touch.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/QapTcha.jquery.js"></script>
   
       <script type="text/javascript">
         $(document).ready(function(){
           // Simple call
          $(".QapTcha").QapTcha();
       });
       </script>
       ```

 * That’s handy. It should be an easy fix. Just remove this line:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
       ```
   
 * and go with
 *     ```
       <!-- include CSS & JS files -->
       <!-- CSS file -->
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/QapTcha.jquery.css" media="screen" />
   
       <!-- jQuery files -->
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/jquery-ui.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/jquery.ui.touch.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/jquery/QapTcha.jquery.js"></script>
   
       <script type="text/javascript">
         $(document).ready(function(){
           // Simple call
          $(".QapTcha").QapTcha();
       });
       </script>
       ```

 * Martin,
 * Thanks for yourhelp. I had already tried to not use this jQuery version, but 
   was getting #typeerror, so what I did is change the Jquery.Cycle to version 2,
   and load it in footer instead of header ( Your default setting). This resolved
   the issue, I guess, this was loading in footer is causing the jQuery.Cycle to
   load lately after Qaptcha.
