Title: Syntax/Reference/Type Errors with JS – how to fix? Last modified: July 7, 2020 --- # Syntax/Reference/Type Errors with JS – how to fix? * [entrancedbywilderness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/entrancedbywilderness/) * (@entrancedbywilderness) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-reference-type-errors-with-js-how-to-fix/) * I have a strange error of recent, that seems to be related to both Elementor and Jetpack so far, though disabling one or the other doesn’t remove it. I have been changing around Optimising tools, and i thought they might also be a problem, but even without them i still get the problem. How do i fix these issues? I can’t edit any posts or change Jetpack settings at all! * These are two pages with errors i’ve copied below (Jetpack settings, and an Elementor post edit) * **JETPACK ERRORS (settings page):** Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list admin.php?page=jetpack:547 Uncaught ReferenceError: moment is not defined at admin.php?page=jetpack:547 admin.php?page=jetpack:564 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘setLocaleData’ of undefined at admin.php?page=jetpack:564 at admin.php?page=jetpack:565 admin.php?page=jetpack:577 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘use’ of undefined at admin.php?page=jetpack:577 at admin. php?page=jetpack:579 admin.php?page=jetpack:587 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘setLocaleData’ of undefined at admin.php?page=jetpack:587 at admin. php?page=jetpack:588 backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘extend’ of undefined at backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:2 at backbone.min. js?ver=1.4.0:2 at backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:2 backbone.marionette.min.js?ver= 2.4.5:22 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘ChildViewContainer’ of undefined at backbone.marionette.min.js?ver=2.4.5:22 at backbone.marionette.min.js?ver= 2.4.5:22 at backbone.marionette.min.js?ver=2.4.5:22 at backbone.marionette.min. js?ver=2.4.5:22 backbone.radio.min.js?ver=1.0.4:3 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot use ‘in’ operator to search for ‘default’ in undefined at backbone.radio.min. js?ver=1.0.4:3 at backbone.radio.min.js?ver=1.0.4:3 at backbone.radio.min.js? ver=1.0.4:3 common-modules.min.js?ver=2.9.13:2 Uncaught ReferenceError: Marionette is not defined at Object.
