# error in custom.js – syntax error, unrecognized expression

 * I am having a javascript error triggered by a line of code in custom.js. This
   is stopping all animations from working properly (slides, lazy loading images
   etc).
 * Can anyone tell me how I can find out who is responsible for this custom.js file,
   so I can contact the developer for support? Is it wordpress (doubt it, somehow),
   is it my Divi theme (probably although I hope not – I have to pay to get support!!!)
   or a plugin?
 * web-site is engagelearnshare.com (please don’t laugh – it’s my first attempt!!)

 * Either your theme or your slideshow plugin (or both) needs updating.

 * Thank you very much for the reply and the solution – that’s what I thought was
   causing the problem. My problem now is that I’m a real novice, how do I replace
   the problematic custom.js with the ‘fixed’ one? Sorry!

 * Divi has provided an update to their theme. Go to where you got that theme and
   get the update.
