Problems Getting jQuery Masonry To Work In WordPress

    Hello,

    I’m trying to incorporate jQuery Masonry into my wordpress theme. I understand how it works. I’ve created a sample of it on a plain html page and everything works fine. I’ve now inserted the same template in wordpress, inserting the same css and js files in my wordpress theme, but it doesn’t work. I’m not certain it’s picking up the js file.

    This is what I have in my head.php file:

    <?php

		?><!DOCTYPE html>

<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

<head>

		<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
		<title><?php
		wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );

		?></title>
		<link rel="profile" href="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
		<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />
		<?php
		if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
		wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
		wp_head();
		?>

<! -- masonry -->
<script src="../js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="../jquery.masonry.min.js"></script>

<script>
  $(function(){

    $('#container').masonry({
      itemSelector: '.box'
    });

  });
</script>

</head>

<body <?php body_class(); ?>>

...

    This is what I have in a page html file:

    <body class="demos ">

  });
</script>

    I’ve tried different renditions like reordering the script in the head.php file but nothing changes. What am I doing wrong? Could something be interfering with the script or did I insert the script in the wrong place? I have the js folder in the theme folder, should I be putting it somewhere else? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried looking for JavaScript errors in the web browser, through tools such as Firefox’s Firebug or Google Chrome’s Inspect Element?

    Oh, and this is what I have in my CSS file concerning Masonry: 

    /**** Demos ****/

#container {
  background: #FFF;
  padding: 5px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  clear: both;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
     -moz-border-radius: 5px;
          border-radius: 5px;
}

.centered { margin: 0 auto; }

.box {
  margin: 5px;
  padding: 5px;
  background: #D8D5D2;
  font-size: 11px;
  line-height: 1.4em;
  float: left;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
     -moz-border-radius: 5px;
          border-radius: 5px;
}

.box h2 {
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: 200;
}

.box img,
#tumblelog img {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
}

.rtl .box {
  float: right;
  text-align: right;
  direction: rtl;
}

.col1 { width: 80px; }
.col2 { width: 180px; }
.col3 { width: 280px; }
.col4 { width: 380px; }
.col5 { width: 480px; }

.col1 img { max-width: 80px; }
.col2 img { max-width: 180px; }
.col3 img { max-width: 280px; }
.col4 img { max-width: 380px; }
.col5 img { max-width: 480px; }

    Again, it works fine when it’s not connected to WordPress, but it doesn’t work when I insert the same coding and files into WordPress.

    I have Firefox’s Firebug. How can I check for JavaScript errors in the web browser. I tested the page using Safari and Firefox, and both are experiencing the same problems.

    In Firebug, look under the ‘console’ section.

    Alright, so I have a few errors. One that may concern Masonary is the following. I inserted the </p>, but it still doesn’t work.

    Error: SyntaxError: syntax error
$(function(){</p>

    I removed scripts, coding and css to see if those are causing problems, but nothing changes. I’m not sure what is interfering if that’s even the problem.

    Okay. I seem to have solved the problem.

    I changed this script…:

    <script src="../js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="../jquery.masonry.min.js"></script>

    …to this:

    <script src="/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="/jquery.masonry.min.js"></script>

    Simple as that! All that trouble. Thanks Andrew for all your help!! Much appreciated!
