Installing breaks nav hover, jQuery NoConflict?

    After installing the addons plugin, several javascript items on my site seem to stop working, such as the menu hover in the nav, loading animations, and video player. I am getting the errors show here after installing: http://prntscr.com/ds92k4

    I think it might be an issue with jQuery Noconflict since its saying $ is not a function

    Here is a link to my dev site: http://dev2.catalystpainsolutions.com/

    I tried versions 1.3, 1.2, and 1.1 of the plugin. I am using WP 4.6.1 and Visual Composer 4.11.2.1.

    Deactivating the plugin returns the site to normal functionality and removes the console errors, but I really would like to use this plugin if I can find a workaround.

    The theme specular you are using is the root cause for the error. The theme main.js file has code which reads like –

    `var $ = jQuery.noConflict();’

    and then goes on to use the $ imagining that $ is referencing jQuery. This is true until another plugin issues jQuery.noConflict(). The variable name should be something other than $ as explained here –

    Removing

    jQuery.noConflict();

    from files /assets/js/lvca-frontend.js and /assets/js/lvca-frontend.min.js file may make it work for now but there is no guarantee another plugin may not do this again.
