 * I’m getting a JavaScript error message in wp-admin/load-scripts.php that reads:**
   jQuery is not defined**, and it points here: /public_html/wp-admin/js/farbtastic.
   js
 * > jQuery.fn.farbtastic = function (callback) {
   >  jQuery.farbtastic(this, callback);
   > return this; };
 * Does anyone know what the problem is here?

 * Disable plugins one by one to find the one that causes the conflict. Faster Images
   is one that sometimes causes that particular error. Then go to whatever the plugin
   might be author’s site and look for a bug report or fix.

 * By the way, I forgot to tell you what it was. It was the ozh-admin-drop-down-
   menu plug-in. It only happens when viewing the Dashboard page of the admin.
