# Two jQuery/javascript errors after update to 3.5

 * This morning I have updated my site – [http://www.marketingpolityczny.org](http://www.marketingpolityczny.org)–
   to v. 3.5. Instantly the browser console reported below errors with two javascripts
   based on jQuery. Thus the slider plugin on the mainpage stopped working as well
   as the top smooth scrolling script on every page. I tried to turn off the plugin
   and remove the script but no effect so far. Please help!

 * Try:
    – switching to the TwentyTwelve theme by renaming your current theme’s 
   folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name
   using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from 
   a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of
   files & folder before uploading the new ones.
 * – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

 * Ok, thank you, I will. Meanwhile I managed to resolve the Skitter Slideshow plugin
   problem. One of the scripts in the plugin folder needed to be upgraded – jquery.
   animate-colors.min.js. The newest code is available here – [http://www.bitstorm.org/jquery/color-animation/](http://www.bitstorm.org/jquery/color-animation/).
 * Still working on the smooth scrolling problem though…
 *     ```
       <!-- Top smooth scrolling -->
       <script type="text/javascript">
           $(document).ready(function(){ 
   
               $(window).scroll(function(){
                   if ($(this).scrollTop() > 100) {
                       $('.top').fadeIn();
                   } else {
                       $('.top').fadeOut();
                   }
               }); 
   
               $('.top').click(function(){
                   $("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 600);
                   return false;
               });
   
           });
       </script>
