I am in the process of moving my EasyBlog install from tinyhouselifestyles to tinyhometown.com, so the issue became apparent on tinyhometown.com

If was having issues with Yendif video player and their support looking into it for me on my site. They determined that EasyBlog was loading site-5.1.13-basic.min.js which was the issue. I checked my EasyBlog setup General > System and Render EasyBlog's Own jQuery library was not turned on.

Their programmers disabled site-5.1.13-basic.min.js on the pages where their module and component are installed. Please let me know if that will continue to be an issue in the future?
I just found EasyBlog - Auto Article plugin which was published and unpublished it. I did not publish it myself. When I downloaded the latest version and installed it, I did select download all files. Could this be the source of the JS conflict?

Hey Ed,

When there are conflicts, you should try to turn on the option "Render EasyBlog's Own jQuery library". This way, it will reduce conflicts.

An example of why conflict happens when:

1. EasyBlog DOES NOT LOAD jQuery and uses jQuery from Joomla.

2. EasyBlog loads a jquery plugin called lightbox (version 2.0)

3. Other 3rd party module / extension also does not load jQuery and uses jQuery from Joomla.

4. When other 3rd party module / extension also loads a jquery plugin called lightbox (version 1.0), this is where all breaks loose.

A single jquery instance, but multiple different plugin versions. The only work around is for you to configure EasyBlog to render it's own jQuery. This way, it is properly namespaced and conflicts will never happen.
