When you are intending to use Akeeba Backup for WordPress on an
older version of WordPress or when a third party plugin corrupts
jQuery on the page you need to make a manual change. Edit the file
wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp/helpers/defines.php
and change these lines:
// Uncomment (remove the double slash from) the following line to load Akeeba Backup's copy of jQuery. Necessary on old versions of WordPress (e.g. 3.4) or when a third party plugin corrupts jQuery on your site. // define('AKEEBA_OVERRIDE_JQUERY', 1);
to
// Uncomment (remove the double slash from) the following line to load Akeeba Backup's copy of jQuery. Necessary on old versions of WordPress (e.g. 3.4) or when a third party plugin corrupts jQuery on your site. define('AKEEBA_OVERRIDE_JQUERY', 1);
that is, remove the double slash from the line with the define command. This will instruct Akeeba Backup for WordPress to load its own copy of jQuery instead of relying on WordPress to do it automatically.
