Javascript not running in WordPress - javascript

I'm trying to run JS code in WordPress, using a plugin; but can't make it work.
Here on this Codepen page, you can see the element I'm trying to integrate on my site (i.e. a drag and drop feature)
http://codepen.io/galaxija737/pen/pHvEi
And here, this is working properly.
But then, I can't figure out how to integrate the JS code properly into WordPress; whatever plugin i'm using. And idem into JSFiddle, impossible to run properly the script, as you can see...
https://jsfiddle.net/szan6shz/)
For instance using "TC-custom-javascript" plugin; when I add the JS code, nothing is running (i.e the drag-drop feature is not working; like on the Fiddle) :
I'm really new at Javascript as you can see. If anyone can give me a hand on this. (I guess i miss something is the way JS needs to be written/integrated)
Thanks a lot!

WordPress runs jQuery in safe mode. This means that you need to call it with jQuery instead of $. You can call your initial onload function with jQuery and pass $ into the function to define its use throughout the function.
See this example:
jQuery(function($){
$('.theclass').fadeIn('slow');
});

Run two separate jQuery simultaneously

I am trying to get two different jquery to run at the same time.
One thing (Design jQuery is how I'll refer to it) is related to a carousel and smooth scrolling, and automatically highlighting the current area in the navbar.
The second is a Konami code script which I would like to implement as an Easter egg.
When I remove the Design jQuery, the konami code works as it should in the browser.
However when it is added to the site, the konami code is unable to work.
Is there some way to getting them to both both at the same time?..
If you are not doing it already, define the Design jQuery and the Konami code script and run each of those using $(document).ready(varName);
You can run two jquery using jQuery.noConflict(). If you must refer to jquery as $, you can pass jQuery as a parameter to self invoking function. Example:
var jquery_one = jQuery.noConflict();
(function($){
//code that use jquery as $
})(jquery_one);

jQuery cannot find elements unless I put a timeout

For some reason when I try and select an element from the page it only works if I put a timeout of 0 milliseconds. If I don't put the timeout it just returns what is there before the Ionic framework has been loaded. Any ideas? Below is my code.
The order of loading is jQuery, Ionic, Custom Script (as seen below).
Working
ionic.DomUtil.ready(function(){
setTimeout(function(){console.log($('body').html())},0);
});
Not Working
ionic.DomUtil.ready(function(){
console.log($('body').html());
});
EDIT: Obviously I could just put a timeout on everything I want to do but that's bad practice so would be nice to know the underlying cause!
EDIT (2): I have managed to get it do show the HTML doing the following... However, it is not ideal...
$(document).ready(function(){
console.log($(this).find('body')[0]);
});
It's almost as if some jQuery functions are not working even though the $ is being initiated otherwise it return $ is undefined.
I don't know ionic, but you tried with jquery stand alone? like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
console.log($('body'));
});
Maybe there are other way to do the same with ionic

jQuery conflict with an plugin?

I had an blog using WordPress. I got an jQuery code to make some div fixed after some scroll, got it here:
http://jqueryfordesigners.com/fixed-floating-elements/
Someday ago, I got an plugin to make and "Recent Post Slider" for WordPress. But when I activate it, the fixed div jQuery stop working. I think that can be an conflict, but really don't have sure yet.
What is the best move to know what's happening?
You can use jQuery.noconflict() for this. For example:
$j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j("your_div").css("position", "fixed");
Here you have the code explanation. jQuery.noConflict
Get a browser with JavaScript debugger console and make it print you the $ variable. jQuery returns : function (a,b){return new e.fn.init(a,b,h)}. The $ variable is sometimes used by other libraries, and if you use it directly in your jQuery it may get overwritten. To avoid this, encapsulate your jQuery code:
(function($) {
your code with $
})(jQuery)
This may break some of your global variables though, it depends on how you wrote your code.
I don't think that jQuery does not work anymore as #nicowernli said. But it is possible that the plugin changed the html of the page.
The best move is to disable the "Recent Post Slider" plugin and check if the fix starts working again. Then you will know what where problem is.
make sure that you've included Jquery once but no more

Combining Multiple jQuery Scripts

I'm trying to create a simple portfolio site for a friend of mine based around his drawings and paintings. The layout is relatively simple but is proving to be very difficult to implement. I have three jquery scripts on the page that each perform a specific function.
1) bgStretcher - Stretches a series of background images to fill a user's window.
2) collapse - Simple collapsable menu system
3) galleryview - Basic no frills slideshow gallery
Currently, bgstretcher and collapse are on one page called nav.shtml (http://yungchoi.com/nav.shtml) and the gallery on gallery.shtml(http://yungchoi.com/gallery.shtml). Seperatley they work fine, but when I call the nav page via SSI (test.shtml), The code seems to run into problems and becomes disabled.
The solutions I've found all lead to utilizing the noConflict function in jquery (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2656360/use-multiple-jquery-and-jquery-ui-libraries), (http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-use-jQuery_noConflict), but everytime I've tried inserting it and changing my code, everything gets messed up again. I've also organized each script's files into separate folders and directories but that hasn't helped either.
My experience is in graphic and web design, so my coding skills are not the greatest. I do know the basics, but rewriting jquery code was not something I ever learned so I might not be understanding how to correctly fix this problem. If someone could clearly and easily explain what I would need to do to make these all work together, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!
You still have multiple versions of jQuery being loaded in your page.
Remove:
<script type="text/javascript" src="support/bgstrecher/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
and
<script src="support/collapse/jquery-1.2.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you should also remove:
<script type="text/javascript">
$.noConflict();
// Code that uses other library's $ can follow here.
</script>
& - (because you only need either the packed or unpacked version, not both)
<script type="text/javascript" src="galleryview/jquery.galleryview-2.1.1.js"></script>
See if that helps.
You only need noConflict if you're going to also use other libraries that are similar to jQuery like MooTools, Dojo or Prototype. It's unlikely you will need to & if you do, you will need to recode to use the jQuery function instead of the $.
The issue it appears you're having is that all these jQuery includes are overwriting the previous version of jQuery which the plugin attached to and thus the function no longer exists when you call it.
Why are you loading Jquery twice ?
First the 1.4.2 min file and then the full blown straight after ?
You still have multiple calls to jQuery (even if files are not in same directories).
In the same way, you call "galleryview/jquery.galleryview-2.1.1.js" twice (the second file is just packed).
By the way, my error console tell me that:
"Error: jQuery.timer is undefined
Source File: http://yungchoi.com/galleryview/jquery.timers-1.2.js
Line: 135"
Are you sure you need this timer plugin? For now, it seems you have too many script included. Try to remove all unneeded files (you should keep only one version of jquery. But if some plugins you used is not compatible with, you'll have more and more compatibility problems).

Fancybox is not a function

Hello I am using the jQuery plugin fancybox to display bing maps when somebody enters an address into a textbox and hits the submit button beside it. And a fancybox is loaded and a map for that address is displayed. This is working well with my application, but the problem is, it is only working well on one page and on the other one, when I load it, it is giving me an error saying fancybox is not a function. I get to see this error in the error console and in the firebug console. I am not sure what could the problem. The same code works in another page, but it doesn't on this one?
$("Map").fancybox is not a function
I am pretty sure it is not re-usability issue. But when I test to see if fancybox's original files have been loaded, they are loaded with the dom, so it might not be actual problem. But I am unable to understand what else could the problem be.
This is my code
abbr: is just a text bit. I have different divs based on what the user selects. And each div would have its own controls, which would start with that text and are appended with their own definitions such as mapresults, decValLat, decValLon etc.
ex: abbr>>east
and then the ids would be eastmapresults, eastdecValLat, eastdecValLon etc.
function showMapFancybox(abbr){
var abbr;
$('#'+abbr+'mapresults').hide();
$('Map').fancybox({
overlayShow: true,
onClosed: function() {
$('#'+abbr+'mapresults').show();
map_latdec = $('#decValLat').attr('value');
map_longdec = $('#decValLon').attr('value');
map_latdeg = $('#degValLat').attr('value');
map_longdeg = $('#degValLon').attr('value');
$('#'+abbr+'decValLatsub').val(map_latdec);
$('#'+abbr+'decValLonsub').val(map_longdec);
$('#'+abbr+'degValLatsub').val(map_latdeg+'N');
$('#'+abbr+'degValLonsub').val(map_longdeg+'W');
}
}).click();
};
I already had this type of errors because i was reloading jQuery after the plugin import, check you don't reimport jquery by mistake (sometimes included in a package like jQuery tools).
I just had this issue, it seem some versions of jQuery are not compatible with versions of FancyBox, for example Fancybox 1.3.4 is buggy with jQuery versions below 1.7 and doesn't work on version higher than 1.8.
Possible Solutions:
1) have you already loaded jQuery? If not, then load it before any $ commands start.
2) Check, probably you are loading jquery library (.js) several times during the page. Try to load only one.
3) In the end of file, you can execute this javascript command: $ = jQuery.noConflict(); and it might solve. If not, then anywhere use the word jQuery instead of $, and it will work too.
You need to load the extensions like easing.js and mousewheel.js BEFORE the main fancybox plugin. That solves the problem.
If "fancybox" as a function does not exist, it is likely that either the jQuery source or the plugin source are failing to load into your page. Make sure that the pathing, file names, and extension are all correct.
EDIT: Make sure that you link to jQuery Source before you link to any plugins. If a plugin is loaded into your HTML before jQuery is, the plugin fails.
In my case it was jQuery.noConflict(); row in another jQuery plugin ... when I removed everything started to work.
If you are using a plugin which includes JQuery into your header tag, this trouble can arise.
I recently added 'TheThe Slider' to my blog, all my FancyBoxes stopped working. There are easy fixes for this situation though. basically, go to the plugin directory, search for the call to jquery and make it's usage conditional. If you would like to see my implementation of this I did blog about it with screen-capture.
I got this issue in my WordPress web site and I found the issue was happening due to fancybox.js presenting twice in the code from two plugins which I installed. So check your code and make sure to load from one source.
