# Javascript and forum issues

 * Hi there,
 * First of this is my first time really using this forum. So thank you all for 
   your time.
 * I will try to be brief about my problems:
 * I have recently launched a new site, and I have experienced difficulties with
   having my forum Simple:press working. The site is located at [http://www.webackpack.dk](http://www.webackpack.dk)
   and the forum theme im using is MyThemeShop’s Playbook theme.
 * First thing first – I have managed to find the javascript:void(null) mistake 
   by removing the following coding from functions.php:
 * //replace jQuery with Google hosted version
    wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’); 
   wp_register_script(‘jquery’, (“[http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js&#8221](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js&#8221);),
   false, ‘1.7.1’); wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
 * This made my forum to work. The forum is still saying “javascript:void(null) 
   in the bottom of the page, but the forum is working.
 * **Now to my next probem!**
 * After I have removed that code is does affect some graphic elements on the side.
   My “Recent / Most popular” widget (Which is made into the theme) does not shop
   up correctly. Furthermore are my drop-down menus not showing up correctly.
    You
   are able to see how the themes widgets and drop down menus normally looks like
   here: [http://demo.mythemeshop.com/playbook/](http://demo.mythemeshop.com/playbook/)
 * Can anyone please help me with getting the graphic / widgets back as before, 
   while STILL having the forum to work?
 * Thank you in advance
    Kind regards Lars

 * The problem seems to resolve around these codes:
 * wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
    wp_register_script(‘jquery’, (“[http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js&#8221](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js&#8221);),
   false, ‘1.7.1’);

 * Unfortunately, you’re using a theme that’s not supported here – these forums 
   only support themes from here: [http://wordpress.org/themes/](http://wordpress.org/themes/)
 * Perhaps you should consider a new theme if that one is not supported by the developers?

 * Andrew:
 * So if I remove the following code, I will no longer have password proctection
   on the site?
    Simple:press is an amazing forum plugin, which you can only download
   from their own website. It is really elegant, and does the job better than any
   other forum plugin etc I have tried.
 * Wpyogi:
    I knew that theme wasn’t supported. But I have spend so much time and
   effort into resolving this without luck, so I am kinda desperat at the moment.
 * I have considered chancing to a new theme, but this one really fits and suits
   the need of the site in general. So there is only the forum issue, otherwise 
   im really pleased and set with the theme.
    Furthermore Have i put quite and extensive
   amount of work into it as well.
