# Console error “Uncaught TypeError: lightboxVersionSelect is null”

 * Hi [@firelightwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/firelightwp/),
 * this is just to report a console error showing in the WP Dashboard /wp-admin/
   as soon as “Easy FancyBox – WordPress Lightbox Plugin” is installed and activated.
 * In Firefox the error says:
   `Uncaught TypeError: lightboxVersionSelect is nullhttps://
   DOMAIN.TLD/wp-content/plugins/easy-fancybox/inc/admin.js?ver=2.1.9:3d jQueryhttps://
   DOMAIN.TLD/wp-content/plugins/easy-fancybox/inc/admin.js?ver=2.1.9:1
 * In Chrome it says:
   `admin.js?ver=2.1.9:3 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties
   of null (reading 'addEventListener')at HTMLDocument. (admin.js?ver=2.1.9:3:24)
 * The error is easily reproducible. Just get a fresh installation of the current
   WordPress version, install the plugin and look into the console on WP’s dashboard.
   We think you’ll want to fix this.
 * Thanks for your work and greetings,
   -doffine

 * Hi! Just wanted to confirm we’ve prepped a fix for this and it will be in the
   next release.
 * It was happening because we tried to consolidate some JS, but as a result we 
   were running some JS for our options page on the main dashboard screen where 
   it is not needed/applicable.
 * Thanks very much for the report!
