Title: Backupbuddy Error #82389: Broken Javascript Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Backupbuddy Error #82389: Broken Javascript * [athyg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/athyg/) * (@athyg) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/) * Hi there, * I am trying to backup my WordPress site using Backupbuddy without much luck. Since the latest plugin update, I’m now getting this error: * “Error #82389: A javascript occurred which may break functionality on this page. Check your browser error console for details. This is most often caused by another plugin or theme containing broken javascript. Try temporarily disabling all other plugins.” * It seems the broken javascript is also interfering with other functionality on my site. * How do I go about troubleshooting this problem? * Thanks in advance 🙂 Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [gt2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gt2000/) * (@gt2000) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/#post-4885361) * Hi athyg * I am facing same problem / error code.

Try disabling all of your plugins except BackupBuddy and trying the backup again. You could keep doing backups and enabling one backup at a time until it throws the error again. Then you will know where the conflict is coming from. * [galacticwebdesign.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobwarrick/) * (@bobwarrick) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/#post-4885416) * I get the “Error #82389: A javascript occurred …” when running BackupBuddy Version 5.1.0.7 using Firefox version 34.0.5 on a Mac. This error message does not occur using Chrome Version 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit) and a BackupBuddy Full Backup completes without any error message. Using Chrome, I did not have to disable any plugins and I did not get this error message. * Therefore, I conclude that the solution (or workaround) is to use the Chrome browser instead of Firefox when running a BackupBuddy backup. * [Nelmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nelmedia/) * (@nelmedia) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/#post-4885418) * I do have this error on a brand new site. I tried disabling all other plugins, but it still doesn’t work. * Strange, because it works everywhere else, even on other sites on the exact same server and domain… * [brent3721](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brent3721/) * (@brent3721) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/#post-4885419) * same error for me too, in my console I see: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property‘ scrollHeight’ of undefined * on line 562 of admin.php: * statusBox.scrollTop( statusBox[0].scrollHeight – statusBox.height() ); * not sure how that helps? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/#post-4885420) * Which plugin is this? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=backup+buddy&sort=](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=backup+buddy&sort=) * Please use the sub-forum specific to the plugin (this is not) – and **start your own thread**. * [brent3721](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brent3721/) * (@brent3721) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/#post-4885421) * Just saw this thread when googling the issue, I can move it to the backup buddy on-site forum. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupbuddy-error-82389-broken-javascript/#post-4885422) * Perfect :)!
