Ah, it’s that time again – time for WordPress plugins to break because a new version of WordPress! 🙂
This time it’s MF-Timeline Plugin for WordPress. Â I use this plugin over at MidnightRyder.org (you can see it in action here), and after an update, it would display on the page just fine, but it broke quite a few things on the admin side of WordPress.
I dug into the code real quick and made one change, and presto-changeo, it’s fixed. Â jQuery is loaded already, so there’s no need for the plugin to load it. Â So, if you’re needing to get it back up and running, just go to the MF-Timeline plugin under Installed Plugins, and hit “edit” under MF-Timeline.
Scroll down until you find:
 wp_register_script( 'jquery-ui', ("http://www.midnightryder.org/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js") );
wp_register_script( 'mf_timeline_admin_js', plugins_url( 'scripts/js/jquery.mf_timeline_admin.min.js', __FILE__ ), true );
wp_register_style( 'mf_timeline_admin_styles', plugins_url( 'styles/admin.min.css', __FILE__ ) );
wp_register_style( 'jquery-ui', plugins_url( 'styles/jquery-ui/theme-wordpress.css', __FILE__ ) );
We’re going to make that code inactive for now, until the plugin author fixes it himself by commenting out the code. Â To do that, we’ll just add /* and */:
/* wp_register_script( 'jquery-ui', ("http://www.midnightryder.org/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js") );
wp_register_script( 'mf_timeline_admin_js', plugins_url( 'scripts/js/jquery.mf_timeline_admin.min.js', __FILE__ ), true );
wp_register_style( 'mf_timeline_admin_styles', plugins_url( 'styles/admin.min.css', __FILE__ ) );
wp_register_style( 'jquery-ui', plugins_url( 'styles/jquery-ui/theme-wordpress.css', __FILE__ ) ); */
Save the plugin, and enjoy!
Thank you so much ! Almost gave up, but you saved me 🙂
