You are trying to avoid jQuery Conflict in your Liferay theme. Instead of using $.noConflict() you can use 

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    var old = jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

  • I don't think that releases the $ variable. I am running into this same problem. All the above shows is that old now represents the jQuery variable not necessarily that $ is freed for use by other libraries – Jesse Kinsman May 10 '13 at 16:26
