Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression flags

    This is a staging site so password protected:

    user: hostnexus2
    pass: jw84kYzzFWH3

    Have the strangest issue. This was working fine and now suddenly the main menu doesn’t load. Browser console shows “Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression flags”.

    https://wordpress.hostnexus.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_c872b698c22d4d3d807ab9758ef2b569.js

    Happens when I activate “Optimize JS”. So I loaded the same theme on another test site (just has demo data). Loaded all the same plugins and it works just fine:

    https://wpnex.us/

    I went through all plugins, disabling them and enabling one at a time to try and find conflicts but nothing.

    Saw another similar thread and the user was directed to exclude a JS script. So I have a conflict somewhere, just can’t find it.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Also appears to be only happening with logged out users. Works fine when logged in.

    it’s wp-content/plugins/optin-cat-personal-wp/assets/script.js, exclude that and you should be fine 🙂

    have a nice friday!

    Frank, could you tell me how you identified the JS script causing the issue? I seem to have a similar issue on another site.

    sure;

    1. click on the error to have your browser (I use Firefox) take you to the exact line of the autoptimized JS file where it occurs.
    2. at that line, look for a word (variable name) or string that looks unique
    3. open the same page un-autoptimized (by adding ?ao_noptimize=1 to the URL)
    4. open Firefox’s developer tools and in the debugger use the “search sources” function with the word from (2) to see what source file contains that string
    5. add the file you found that way to the list of AO JS optimization exclusions

    hope this helps! 🙂
