Mysterious problem with javascript button

[MelonBird]

I'm having a bizarre problem. If you look at a single page on my site, you'll see a blue "Save Recipe" button in the meta next to the categories and tags. I had it in the same place on a previous theme and it worked. But now that I've switched to Genesis (and Quattro, but I've tried various Genesis themes on a test installation), that button doesn't work. The one next to it does, so I think it's a conflict between Genesis and the javascript Ziplist (the "Save Recipe" button providers) is using.

I asked Ziplist for help, and their engineer said I was placing the code "inside" the posts, and it won't work from within there. I said, no, it's in the meta. I gave him an admin account, and he stuck the button somewhere else, but failed to notice it still didn't work! I stuck it in the sidebar of my test installation - still doesn't work!

The only other thing I can think of is, I'm placing the button via Simple Edits or Simple Hooks, and maybe there's something in one of those plugins that this button can't get along with. On the old theme, I simply hacked the "single.php" file, but I don't know how to do that on Genesis. If someone can tell me how to do that, I think that might be a smart starting place. After that, I'll be all out of ideas and just have to remove the button, I guess.

As you posted this more than 2 months ago, I hope you were able to get your issue resolved. If not, please report back here, and I will escalate for you.

If it has been resolved, please update the thread, and I will close it.

Thanks!

Thanks for asking! I guess you can call this resolved... more of a workaround, which I'll share in case others are running into similar issues. The coder made some changes, and then the button would show up but only in a few hooks (using Simple Hooks to display the code). So I was not able to place it as ideally as I had been in my previous non-Genesis theme, but it's okay.

I've had some other issues with Simple Hooks not working consistently, but I actually suspect that Simple Edits is the culprit as I've observed it totally overriding any other code in some cases. This is not necessarily something "wrong", just something I've learned I have to be aware of when using SE.
