 * It would be extremely helpful if there were a “Known Issues” or “Known Plugin
   Conflicts” as a sticky post on your support forum or in the FAQ section. Our 
   website has over 40 active plugins and it’s simply not time effective to disable
   them all and re-activate one by one to find the issue. I’ve been at it for 30
   minutes now and still haven’t figured it out. I wanted to purchase the full version
   after trying out “lite,” but will now be moving on to find another plugin. 🙁

 * Hi [@missyklotz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missyklotz/), this simply
   wouldn’t be possible. So many plugins in the WordPress repository are badly coded,
   failing to follow best practices with basic tasks such as loading jQuery.
 * Infact, loading jQuery is the biggest support issue all jQuery-based WordPress
   plugin encounter. It is a mine-field and highly criticised amongst the community.
   Yearly, it costs developers thousands.
 * This is because plugins that don’t load it correctly cause errors, or even cause
   it to load it multiple times, which consequently breaks all of the plugins that
   are doing the job correctly.
 * With over 40 plugins installed, I can imagine some of them are causing issues
   such as this. Unfortunately there is nothing Easing Slider can do to avoid it
   being destroyed by other badly coded plugins. This is just a common flaw to the
   WordPress “way”. Again, to list them would be impossible.
 * Personally, my advise would be to keep plugins to a minimum. Only activate what
   you need. 40 plugins really is a lot, many of those loading scripts and styles
   that increase page loading times and server load. If every plugin loaded a single.
   js and .css file, that would be over 80 network requests before you even start
   accounting for images. Users with slow connections are going to suffer. Errors
   on-top of this are going to increase these loading times (which are occurring
   if Easing Slider isn’t working).
 * I can imagine you’re going to have similar issues with other plugins. Nearly 
   all slideshow plugins rely on jQuery, and if it isn’t working then they won’t
   work either. It might be worth investing the time into troubleshooting the current
   situation before trying to hack a plugin to work, thus prolonging any issues 
   and errors.
 * Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Have a look around the web for best practices
   in using plugins with WordPress, some of them contain great advise on avoiding
   the bad stuff and troubleshooting problems.
