 * I don’t understand why the developer is ignoring this issue where others are 
   bringing it up but we’re getting an error
 * Uncaught TypeError: $(…).validate is not a function
 * Does this plugin support the latest WP?

 * I’m having this same error.
 * It is occurring here:
    [http://sightlines.quantumdynamix.net/upcoming-webinars/webinar/exploring-the-state-of-sustainability-in-higher-education-2015/](http://sightlines.quantumdynamix.net/upcoming-webinars/webinar/exploring-the-state-of-sustainability-in-higher-education-2015/)
 * Any thoughts on why this is happening, or how to resolve it?

 * Followup:
 * Here’s my shortcode:
 *     ```
       $webShortcode = '[register_free_webinar webid='.get_field('qd_webinar_id').' pageid='.get_the_ID().']';
       echo do_shortcode($webShortcode);
       ```
   
 * The get_field(‘qd_webinar_id’) uses the long numeric value of the webinar’s ID
   from it’s URL.
 * Then the pageid is set to the current custom post type post’s id, because I’m
   going to be doing some other stuff once the form is submitted on this page.
 * My returned shortcode that I run is:
 * > [register_free_webinar webid=3078989171299094273 pageid=1347]

 * If I just copy and paste the above shortcode into the content editor, the form
   displays without any errors about .validate().
 * Is there something with the plugin that doesn’t allow using do_shortcode() with
   this?

 * [@jsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsites/) – responded here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validate-is-not-a-function-when-using-do_shortcode?replies=3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validate-is-not-a-function-when-using-do_shortcode?replies=3)
   but I think it’s same issue. Thanks again and we’re investigating and working
   on update.
