# Adding Contact form causes jQuery error

 * I love this plug-in – used it on lots of sites …
 * When installing on [http://www.energizeshanti.com](http://www.energizeshanti.com)
   however, it causes the jCarousel in the theme to error out so that the carousel
   does not load & format correctly. While I understand that this is probably more
   of a bad behavior of the theme, I am wondering if there is a way to isolate the
   plug-in so that it does not cause the error. Basically, it is the dreaded “jQuery(…).
   jcarousel is not a function” error – plug-in code interacting with theme code.
 * TIA, Cynthia

 * Hi Cynthia have you also spoken to the theme developers?

 * The theme developer has vanished. I develop sites in frameworks, not themes and
   this is one of the many reasons, but sometimes I am forced to work on sites that
   others developed …
 * That being said, I’ve worked around the issue by separating the Contact Form 
   from the jCarousel by putting the form in the page, rather than the sidebar, 
   then setting the page template for that page to a choice that does not use the
   carousel. Not exactly what the customer wanted, but at least it works.
