A theme was breaking because of a jQuery conflict with a plugin. I was using the GD Star Rating plugin and I was using the Studio Box theme from imaginem. I finally found the solution.

Now remember, I can barely spell JQuery, but I knew that’s where the conflict was. There was lots of talk about JQuery NoConflict and wrapping your JQuery and it was pretty much all Greek Geek to me. Finally I came across a comment near the bottom of the How to include JQuery on your WordPress theme post where the commenter said to put this in between your “head” tags in your header.php file:

if this doesn’t work:
<code><?php wp_enqueue_scripts(“jquery”); ?></code>

you can try this:
<code><?php wp_print_scripts(“jquery”); ?></code>

[You don’t need the bracketed “code” tags in there, it’s just so I can show code here.] That beautiful accordion slider was working again. Living together in harmony with GD Star Rating.
