Re: JQuery validator not working in WordPress

[clokey2k]

I can see that maybe the data in contactengine.php is incorrect, the success/error pages at least (a localhost reference is still there).

As for the jquery validator you have jquery loaded twice, the second (more up-to-date version) loads after the validate plugin, and probably destroys the plugin.

I set all of my jquery scripts to load in my functions.php, then they will load in order. Maybe try this yourself, try the example below (filling in the file locations correctly :-) ):

if (!is_admin()) {

wp_deregister_script('jquery'); //Stop WordPress default jQuery

wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js', false, '1.3.2'); //Load Googles jQuery

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');



//Load jquery plugin

wp_register_script('jquery_validator','/path/to/js/jquery.validate.js', 'jquery', '1.0'); //'jquery' is passed as a reference so that this loads AFTER 'jquery'

wp_enqueue_script('jquery_validator');



//Load custom script

wp_register_script('custom','/path/to/js/page.js', 'jquery_validator', '1.0'); //'jquery_validator' is passed as a reference so that this loads AFTER the plugin

wp_enqueue_script('custom');

}

In theory they all get loaded in the correct order based on dependency, ‘jquery_validator’ depends on ‘jquery’.
