As you see from the Chrome Console, this is causing other errors. One in the theme for the tooltips and the other in the plugin Ninety Login. Connections only uses the version of jQuery available, it does not load any version other than the version bundled with WordPress which theme and plugins can and do override even though that is considered bad practice.
The solution… If this was working then it’s hopeful that the theme is not loading the wrong version of jQuery and it’s another plugin which means you’ll have to deactivate one by one until you find the offending plugin.
I am certain this is not related to the recent updates to Connections. If you are not convinced, you could also try going back to version 0.7.3.1 but I really don’t think that will resolve the issue.
Another thing you can try is on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab, uncheck the JavaScript option. This will change the position where the scripts for Connections are loaded perhaps giving it an opportunity to run before the other errors prevent JavaScript from running. I do have to stress though, it it does work, you’ll only be fixing it for Connections, not other plugins.
I do hope this helps.
