After updating to Wordpress 4.8 widgets stop working, I mean the textarea inside has disappeared and I read the following error in console:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: wp
Global Code — widgets.php:202
Looking into the file I see the line causing the issue:
wp.mediaWidgets.init();
and so on. There are other blocks related to the wp variable but I really cannot understand why it's happening considering that I've already tried to disable all plugins without success. Any advice?
Thanks.
How did you update to 4.8? You might try manually updating WordPress. Your issue could be from inconsistent versions of some files. Source
Check out these instructions.
If this doesn't work, can you say which widgets.php file is causing the problem? I noticed there were a few files with that name in the codebase.
I actually solved manually restoring the Wordpress core and cleaning the wp-config.php. Furthermore there was a function in my theme deferring javascript and that was the main cause, most likely.

We have a CS-Cart store that we recently moved the directories on. After the move, we have found that the Javascript on the home page is not working correctly. A number of $(document).ready() events aren't working correctly and are throwing a TypeError: $ is not a function error.
After stepping through the concatenated file, we have narrowed the problem down. The file is processed correctly but after the first $(document).ready() event is called, jQuery seems to unassign itself. IE both the jQuery and $ variables are unset.
We have access to a wayback machine copy of the site and that seems to work properly. If we copy the old javascript file across though, we get the same error. This fact seems to suggest that it is some other mechanism that is causing the problem.
Is there a known mechanism that CS-Cart or jQuery will unassign the jQuery variables?
So it turns out that the MailChimp embed code was old and the jQuery noConflict method was causing the issues. Once we turned the embed code off, everything worked as expected.
I've got a wordpress site with jquery cookie plugin installed. It used to work fine. For a little while, i've been working with a content that didn't require the plugin. Meanwhile, i've started using cloudflare.
Today, I tried adding content that utilizes that plugin, and suddenly got an error saying "Uncaught TypeError: $.cookie is not a function".
Obviously, the plugin is not loading. What i've done first is, i've moved that plugin from a separate file into header. Right above the script that utilizes it. No luck. I figured, it could still be showing cloudflare cached version, so, i've deleted cache and minified scripts & css. Still no luck. And now I'm stuck.
I know that people here like some code to be provided, but as you can understand, there is a lot of it.
Is it possible that $.cookie is being called before it is loaded? Or that CloudFlare force the loading of a jQuery asset whose version isn't compatible with your cookie plugin?
Looks like disabling cloud flare took a while. Works fine now.
I work on an ASP.NET MVC 4 application.
I updated jQuery, jQuery UI and all other nuget packages in my project. Built it and ran it to see that no problems occured. Everything worked so I continiued development for several days.
After a while I published the project to a test-server I have to see how it looked on Ipad, Iphone etc. And then I realized that the jQuery-UI accordion stopped working.
It renders, but does not respond on click. This goes for all browsers. I found this strange since the only difference is that the MVC bundeling i applied in release mode and as far as I understand it either minifies the jQuery file or chooses the minified version (the latter probably beeing what is does here since it is added when updating using nuget).
The jQuery version is: 2.0.3
The jQuery-ui version is: 1.10.3
In Chrome console the error reads:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'safari' of undefined
OK, so i realize this might be the result of one of my jQuery assemblies references $.browser that apparently was removed in jQuery 1.9.
However the fact that it works in debug mode (using the non-minified versions) leads me to think that it might not be that. I could almost think that it is a problem with the minified versions, but that should not be possible either.
Anyone knows why this happens and know how to fix it?
Update
As requested I attach most of the code. The strange thing is that this works in debug mode, but not in release. I cannot see why there would be any significant changes that should cause this problem:
_Layout.cshtml
Bundleconfig.cs
The view (which calls a partial view)
The partial view
The jquery code
The javascript error in Chrome
Bigger view of the error in chrome
Just to add. After posting this I removed the duplicate loading of modernizr (the telerik custom one was added without me noticing). The problem still persists.
Update 2
I turned off the optimizations in bundleconfig.
BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false;
This allowed me to see what was throwing an error in jquery-ui, and it seems indeed to be the $.browser that was removed. It seems that it actually loads two old versions of jquery (current + 1.6.4 and 1.7.1) together with the new one and two versions of jquery-ui (current + 1.8.16) the last one throwing an error. None of these files are loaded in my solution or in the file folder.
This seems to be a publish problem, but disguised by the bundling and minification... I'll try to fix this and see if it works.
OK, so this was not at all a problem with the code itself, and I learned something new that might be of help to others.
Setting
BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false;
Was what helped me solve this.
Obviously the Asp.Net MVC 4 bundling bundles every script that is found in the folder where it is released, not what is in the solution folder in Visual Studio. I did not think of this at all... But in retrospect it kind of makes sense.
Combined with the fact that VS default publishing settings does not remove files that does not equal the files that you publish means that when removing i.e. an old version of Jquery and adding a new one, the old one still remains on the server.
Add the default bundling using {version} for jquery selection and you have one unreadable jquery file throwing error. Not until you disable bundling and minification it becomes obvious that I in this circumstance loaded 3 versions of Jquery:
Before
After
The solution? Easy, just have to expand a setting called "File publish options" in the publish wizard and check "Remove additional files...":
Thanks for the suggestions. It helped me look the right places, but I was not able to imagine this beeing the problem.
I think you have forgot to add '"~/Content/themes/base/jquery-ui.all.css"'
Note: although you have called all modules separately sometimes calling single file makes difference. As we might miss some dependent file in choosing separate modules.
In BundleConfig.cs you need to add/modify like..
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/themes/base/css").Include(
"~/Content/themes/base/jquery-ui.css",
"~/Content/themes/base/jquery-ui.all.css"
));
if in your locals the file of jQueryUI exist that will do the trick for the same(that might be possible problem that makes it working on Local Testing).
Your _layout.cs will be like..
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui")
#Styles.Render("~/Content/themes/base/css")
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
as you are not rendering jqueryUI that we need to call and render saperately after jQuery.
And your Section script should be called like this,
#section Scripts{
#*#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryUI")*#
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#accordian").accordian();
});
}
This is what I will suggest and should work, with MVC things are really small to identify exact problem, So I have provided all these lines, thank you,
Do post back if problem persist.
I may be a bit burned out, but is there something wrong with where I put the code on my site?

Here it is on JSfiddle working just fine.

Thanks to Adeneo for helping with this code!
You're not including jQuery in your test page. The console says
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
And you aren't including jquery.js either from a CDN or locally in your code.
Include
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js
in your page, or host your own copy locally. Using a CDN is recommended as a cached copy may already be available on the client, which speeds up page load times.
Always have your browser's error console open when testing and debugging JavaScript. You will catch and fix most if not all syntactical or technical errors with it open.
I have been using jQuery IntelliSense in VS2008 and it has been great. Recently I added a reference to jQuery UI and since then, the jQuery IntelliSense has went away. I found that once you reference another .js file in your document, the IntelliSense goes away. Any way to avoid this?
If there are errors in any refernced files it will break intellisense for all files references from the same document. The next version of Visual Studio is going to be much more robust in this respect. I apologize directly for this fragility. We made some design decisions early on that we prevented us from making VS9 external references more robust.
In the meantime, use the following workaround. Install SP1 from the link Slace gave you. If you have a reference a file named .js and there is a file named -vsdoc.js in the same location, then JS intellisense will pick up the -vsdoc version. If that script is empty then it won't generate an error. Identify the jquery plugin that is causing intellisense generation to fail and place a -vsdoc version next to it. You won't get intellisense for UI, but you will still get jquery and other plugins that do work.
Anything you put in the vsdoc version will show up in intellisense. You could put spoofed versions of the data structures that you want to display in intellisense if you want to.
It's likely that there's a bug in one of the subsiquiently referenced JavaScript files. Open your JS file and once the "Updaing JavaScript Intellisense" has gone from the status bar of Visual Studio (there is a menu option which will force the JS intellisense to refresh, don't remember where it is, I just created a keyboard shortcut via the Tools -> Options -> Keyboard area) open up your Errors window and under the Warnings you should find the reason why the intellisense has failed to load.
It's generally a bug found when parsing one of the files but I have had stack overflows when I had a lot of files referenced.
Edit: You also should make sure you have this VS patch installed: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB958502 and VS 2008 SP1 (install SP1 first!). Then you just need to have:
/// <reference path="/path/to/jquery-1.3.1.js" />
Ensure that you maintain the -vsdocs on the intellisense file and it will be automatically picked up (as long as it's in the same folder as the file you reference)
The accepted answer helped me fix this issue but didn't resolve the problem. I installed the hotfix: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB958502 but was still receiving an error.
Error:
Error updating JScript IntelliSense: D:\Dev\Test\Scripts\jQuery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js: 'jQuery.support.htmlSerialize' is null or not an object # 1430:4
It appears the addition of the follwing file without the appropriate -vsdoc.js file causes the above issue.
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-ui-1.7.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I added an empty file "jquery-ui-1.7.custom.min-vsdoc.js" to my scripts folder and the Jscript Intellisense issue went away.
I'd like to present a slightly better solution. A few months ago I tackled this problem and created a very basic vsdoc file for jQuery UI. Here's the link to the blog post (which has the file for download).
I solved this per the advice above with a minor extension: the trick for me was to add a reference on my page to both my jqueryui.com library AND to the blank -vsdoc.js version of the file I created:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min-vsdoc.js"></script>
Hope this helps!
Great, the tweak is by creating an empty *-vsdoc.js file for each troublesome *.js files.
I found this error caused by anonymous function e.g. like this:
(function($) {
$.anything...;
})(jQuery);
Hope this caused will help somebody creating the http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB958502 and JScript IntelliSense Team.
