Slideshow has stopped functioning since 4.5

    If I could get a little help, I’d very much appreciate it.

    Our website used the RPS Image gallery plugin and the Advanced Newspaper theme by Gabefire.

    Our site was updated 4.5 recently, and the RPS Image Gallery plugin lost Slideshow capabilities. Clicking an image will just open the image in a tab or window.

    here is a link to one of our pages

    Village News

    When examining the image, I noticed the title element of the images include a bunch of text that wasn’t there before.

    Here is an example:

    title="<div class="fancybox-title-heading">PHOTO 9-Ken Seals</div><div class="fancybox-title-caption">Boys and girls ages 6 to 10 can enter the Little Miss and Little Mister Avocado contest at the festival. </div>"

    Is this an issue with the your plugin, or the theme?

    It appears there is a JavaScript error being encountered which is preventing all scripts that follow from loading. The error reported by the browser console is:

    Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: a[href*=#respond]:not([href=#])

    A quick search of the wordpress.org Support Threads turns up a thread entitled WP 4.5 and jQuery Syntax Error.

    In looking at the page source of villagenews.com we find the unrecognized expression on within an inline script on line 160.

    According to Samuel Wood (Otto):

    This is a bit of code that is in somewhat common usage. The problem is that it is incorrect. The link location (hash marks, #, in this case) should be quoted: a[href*=”#”]:not([href=”#”])

    Hopefully this is something you have access to fix within the theme or plugin files.

    The title string you identified in RPS Image Gallery output is actually encoded, since the plugin can now pass hyperlinks and basic styles to the slideshow caption, and should not cause any syntactical errors.

    We hope this information helps you resolve the problem. Once the JavaScript error is remedied, RPS Image Gallery should work as expected since the fancyBox script will be able to load. Please let us know if there is anything else you need.

    Thank you for the quick help. Now I just need to identify where that javascript is coming from.
