 * I’m having a bit of a Java Conflict here and any help would be appreciated. My
   problem started when I installed simple press forums. After that my featured 
   post rotator on the front page stopped working. I managed to get that working
   again but now my admin menus don’t contract and are always expanded. I’m pretty
   sure it’s because the theme developer didn’t enqueue the scripts, any further
   insight would be appreciated as I am not that great with Java. [.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/java-conflict/swtorhub.com?output_format=md)

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If
   this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic
   plugin(s). Don’t forget the ones in mu-plugins. If you can’t get into your admin
   dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, 
   an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

 * Went through all the plugins and they aren’t causing it. Switched the theme and
   the admin menus worked again so it seems as though its the theme. The dev said
   he was going to fix it but that was two weeks ago. Someone else told me it was
   because of not enqueueing the java scripts or something.

 * I think it might have to do with this piece of code in the header.php
 *     ```
       function createTicker(){             
   
       	// put all list elements within #ticker-area into array   
   
       	var tickerLIs = $("#ticker-area ul").children();          
   
       	tickerItems = new Array();                                
   
       	tickerLIs.each(function(el) {                             
   
       		tickerItems.push( jQuery(this).html() );
       ```

 * Maybe you can do it thru functions.php with this information.

 * First: what Theme are you using?
 * Second: there is at least one problem in the jQuery code you posted. This:
 *     ```
       var tickerLIs = $("#ticker-area ul").children();
       ```
   
 * …won’t work in WordPress, which requires noconflict mode for jQuery.
 * [See here for more information, and for the fix](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#jQuery_noConflict_wrappers).

 * The theme is called Gameup by magazine3.

 * That appears to be a commercial Theme. You will need to consult the developer
   for Theme-specific support.
