To resolve the conflict between jQuery v2 and the twentytwenty slider in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the conflict:
  • Check if you have any other scripts that rely on jQuery v2. If so, they may also be causing conflicts.
  • Check if there are any error messages in the browser console that specifically mention conflicts with jQuery.
  • Test if removing the twentytwenty slider or jQuery v2 resolves the issue. This will help narrow down the conflicting elements.
  1. Use a compatible version of jQuery:
  • jQuery v2 has reached its end of life and may not be compatible with newer scripts and plugins.
  • Try upgrading to a newer version of jQuery (v3 or above) and see if the conflict still exists.
  • Update any scripts or plugins that rely on jQuery to the latest versions that are compatible with the new jQuery version.
  1. Update the twentytwenty slider:
  • Check if there is an updated version of the twentytwenty slider available.
  • Updating to the latest version might resolve any conflicts with jQuery v2 or other scripts.
  • Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the creators of the twentytwenty slider when updating.
  1. Reorder script loading:
  • Sometimes, the order in which scripts are loaded can cause conflicts.
  • Make sure that jQuery is loaded before any scripts or plugins that rely on it, including the twentytwenty slider.
  • To change the order of script loading in Webflow, you can use custom code in the Head or Footer section of your site settings.
  1. Seek assistance from Webflow support or community:
  • If you have tried the above steps and the conflict still persists, it might be beneficial to reach out to Webflow support or the Webflow community for further assistance.
  • They can provide you with more specific guidance based on your unique situation and help resolve the conflict.

Remember to always test your changes thoroughly to ensure that the conflict has been resolved without introducing any other issues to your Webflow project.
