Wordpress PrettyPhoto - Sudden crash

Hi everyone,

I've been going berserk all this afternoon trying to solve this issue, but I guess I just don't know enough Javascript to see what to do.

I'm currently using a Wordpress theme that I bought from a designer, who since then has disappeared and doesn't reply any message regarding the theme.

On this theme, I've been using for more than a year the simple and elegant "PrettyPhoto" lightbox plugin (http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/).

Everything used to work just fine, until I suddenly discovered that the "lightbox" effect is now cancelled: every photo now opens underneath the main page, instead of popping up in a floating window -- and it looks really, really ugly (see example here).

From what I understand it's a kind of javascript conflict happening within my theme, but I can't put my finger on it. I had jQuery 1.8.2 installed, but I have also tried downloaded the 1.9.1 version -- no joy.

Firebug gives me the following JS error:

TypeError: $ is not a function

$('#navigation ul.menu').supersubs({ - seso.js (line 2)
Error: Permission denied to access property 'toString'
TypeError: $ is not a function

$('#navigation ul.menu').supersubs({ - seso.js (line 2)

'Seso.js' is a file that comes with my theme (named "Seso"), and of which the code is as follows:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $('#navigation ul.menu').supersubs({
            minWidth:    15,
            maxWidth:    30,
            extraWidth: 1
        }).superfish({ hoverClass: "sfHover", speed: 'slow', dropShadows: false, delay: 0, animation: {height:'show'}});
    $('.up a[href$="top"]').click( function() {
        $.scrollTo( $('#top'), {speed:1200} );
    })
    $('#navigation ul.menu>li>ul>li, #navigation ul.menu>li>ul>li>ul>li').hover(function() { //mouse in
        $(this).stop().animate({ paddingLeft: '5px' }, 300);
    }, function() { //mouse out
    $(this).stop().animate({ paddingLeft: 0 }, 300);
    });
    $(".socialtip").tipTip();
    jQuery(".toggle_body").hide();

    jQuery("h4.toggle").toggle(function(){
        jQuery(this).addClass("toggle_active");
        }, function () {
        jQuery(this).removeClass("toggle_active");
    });

    jQuery("h4.toggle").click(function(){
        jQuery(this).next(".toggle_body").slideToggle();

    });
    $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({animationSpeed:'slow',theme:'facebook',slideshow:5000});

                if (jQuery.browser.msie && parseInt(jQuery.browser.version, 10) < 9) {
                    image.hover(function(){

                    },function(){
                        jQuery(".image_overlay",this).css("visibility", "hidden");

                        },"fast");
                    }).children('img').after(jQuery('<span class="image_overlay"></span>').css({opacity: '0',visibility:'visible'}));

        beforeShow: function(){},
        afterShow: function(){},
        afterShowAll: function(){}
    };
});

I didn't build this JS file, so I don't know exactly what all of its functions are for. I'm quite sure I don't need 90% of them.

For the sake of completeness, here are the contents of my current WP header.php head tag:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type') ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset') ?>" />
<title><?php if (is_front_page()) { ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> - <?php bloginfo('description'); ?><?php } else { ?><?php wp_title($sep = ''); ?> - <?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php } ?></title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $themePath ?>/css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/prettyPhoto.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $themePath ?>/css/imageflow.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $themePath ?>/css/options.php" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php if(get_option_tree ('customcss', '')){ ?>
<style type="text/css">
<?php echo get_option_tree ('customcss', ''); ?>
</style>
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/jquery.prettyPhoto.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $themePath ?>/js/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $themePath ?>/js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
   $("a[href$='.jpg'], a[href$='.jpeg'], a[href$='.gif'], a[href$='.png']").prettyPhoto({
    animationSpeed: 'normal', /* fast/slow/normal */
    padding: 40, /* padding for each side of the picture */
    opacity: 0.35, /* Value betwee 0 and 1 */
    showTitle: true, /* true/false */
    theme: 'pp_default' /* light_rounded / dark_rounded / light_square / dark_square / facebook */
    });

})

</script>
</head>

I've tried using other lightbox plugins, but the result is the same.
There is some deep JS conflict inside my theme, but I can't find it. If anyone has a clue, all help would be deeply appreciated...

Cheers,
