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

    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.
