What's going wrong
Site owners report that ThickBox, a popup window plugin for WordPress, sometimes breaks other features after activation. Its bundled copy of jQuery can load next to the copy WordPress already provides, and the two conflict. Reported casualties include image sliders, carousels, drop-down menus, and buttons that open a bare image file instead of a popup. Some users only find the clash after deactivating the plugin, which restores their menus. Theme and plugin authors are left troubleshooting scripts they did not write. An opportunity exists for a tool that detects duplicate script loads and names the component causing them before a site breaks.
