Title: Website Glitching with Plugins Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Website Glitching with Plugins * [slanse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slanse/) * (@slanse) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-glitching-with-plugins/) * Since I updated to WP 4.5, most of my plugins have caused my website to glitch– basically, it goes in and out of looking and functioning properly. I turned off all of my plugins and have about 3 that don’t cause the glitch. Every time I turn on other plugins, even ones that are compatible and updated for 4.5, i get the same issue. The website is ILoveGoodwill.org – the issues happens sporadically and goes in and out. * I looked at this file [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-45-master-list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-45-master-list) and cleared my cache. Almost every plugin I turn back on causes the problem to come back. I also looked at this file: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors) and I get the error in Chrome and FireFox, so I know it is not just the browser. * I am not sure what to do at this point. Some of the plugins are not important and I can do without, but others are and I can’t turn them back on without the website looking funky. * Any thoughts?

I will do that – though I have been in contact with the Theme Developers and they think it is a Plugin issue. I find it hard to believe that almost all of my plugins are the problem. * Thread Starter [slanse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slanse/) * (@slanse) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-glitching-with-plugins/#post-7320920) * I think it must be the theme – I switched to 2015 and problem went away. Switched back – problem came back. I have sent in a support ticket to the developer. Thanks for the suggestion! * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-glitching-with-plugins/#post-7320950) * You’re welcome! * Thread Starter [slanse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slanse/) * (@slanse) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-glitching-with-plugins/#post-7321029) * I thought I had this fixed and 3 weeks later, I am still having the issue. I am not sure if it is WordPress or the theme. I have been working with the theme developers (Dante by Swift Ideas), who keep telling me it is a calendar plugin. Well, that plugin has been disabled for a week and I cleared my cache and I am still having this issue of the website not working properly on and off. I have deactivated all plugins (have 2 running now that are vital to functionality but the problem happened even with them deactivated). The site is ILoveGoodwill.org. The problems started when I updated to WP 4.5 and continued with the 4.5.1 update. I am at a loss here. I didn’t make any website changes or add any plugins immediately prior to the updates. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-glitching-with-plugins/#post-7321030) * In this case, I have to refer you back to your theme’s support. * The problem was very clearly the theme itself based on your earlier replies, and it sounds like you just need to be firm with them stating that the plugins were not the problem. * Thread Starter [slanse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slanse/) * (@slanse) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-glitching-with-plugins/#post-7321031) * That is what I figured.

Assuming you still have Twenty Fifteen installed, your site will revert to that. * Then, definitely get in touch with your theme’s support. It sounds like there’s a lot they need to work out for you. * Thread Starter [slanse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slanse/) * (@slanse) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-glitching-with-plugins/#post-7321035) * Thank you.
