# Javascript stopped working??

 * Hello,
 * I have a page, uprootedanthology.com/people that had javascript implemented (“
   hover over image…” and working seamlessly for a few months. I made some slight
   change to content this past week, but continuously checked the page and saw that
   the hover function was still working. Today, I suddenly noticed that it is no
   longer working at all! I tried reverting to previous revisions of the page (when
   I’m 100% the javascript was working) and looked at the code, but there have been
   no changes to the javascript part within the page. I’m tried outputting to the
   console, but it looks like non of the jquery requests are being run at all! No
   idea what is going on.
 * Unfortunately, I did this a few months ago and don’t quite remember all the intricacies
   of how I implemented all this (and I’m not a programmer by trade…)
 * I did not update my theme or wordpress at all recently. I did update some plugins,
   but I went one by one deactivating each one to see if one of them was causing
   the problem, but to no avail…
 * Have there been any changes in javascript/jquery that might explain why this 
   suddenly stopped working? can anyone help? Thanks!

 * Have you tried disabling ALL plugins at the same time? And if so, were you able
   to reproduce your issue? If you were able to reproduce your issue — which I believe
   I was able to do using Mac Firefox 39.0 — with all your plugins disabled then
   the focus should be on your theme (i.e., Bushwick 1.2.3).
 * Which, if the issue is with your theme, rather than anymore tweaking, I would
   highly suggest asking for help on the theme’s support forum:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/bushwick](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/bushwick)
 * Moreover, I would highly suggest starting with a fresh copy of the theme and 
   see if you can still reproduce the issue. If not, then you just need help figuring
   out which one of your tweaks created the issue.

 * Thanks for your response. Yes, issue still occurred after deactivating all plugins.
 * I will ask on my theme’s support forum. Thanks so much.
 * When you stay starting with a fresh copy of my theme, not quite clear on how 
   to do that. I’m created a child theme, so would I be creating another child theme
   and just copying that same page?
 * Thanks.

 * Oh, wise move. A child theme! In that case, a fresh copy would be downloading
   the parent theme again (only if you modified your current one in any way and/
   or there’s a newer version available) and then starting with whatever you originally
   used as a template for your child theme. If, after doing all this, you still 
   cannot reproduce your issue then add one thing at a time to your child theme 
   until you can reproduce the issue. But, ultimately, seeking help from the theme’s
   support forum is going to do you most likely a World of good.

 * Figured it out!
    Wordpress was adding the <![CDATA[]]> when switching between
   text editor and visual editor.
