* Hello,
* I am trying to display the Cookie Preference panel with the shortcode (not the`
showMinimizedButton` option) but when I click on the link nothing happen (no
error in the console and no panel).
* Here are my logic options settings: [https://cloudup.com/c5EMHDIXT6e](https://cloudup.com/c5EMHDIXT6e)
* I am on the latest version of WordPress and of your plugin.
* You can view the website here : [studiodpe.com](https://studiodpe.com) (the shortcode
is used in the footer with the following text: “Gérer les cookies”).
* Thanks for your help!

* Hello [@epipo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epipo/),
* with Chrome I see the following error in console:
`Uncaught TypeError: Cannot
read property 'smoothScroll' of null at S (main.min.js:1)`
* I also see that the link that should open the panel has been modified. It should
be `Gestion des cookies` but it
is `Gestion des cookies`.
* I think that a “scroll plugin” is trying to run some graphic effects on the DOM
element with id “cookies”, but there is no element with that id!
* Could you exclude the cookie link from the scroll effect system?

* Hello [@nicola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicola/),
* Thanks for your fast answer! Indeed I have a smooth scroll plugin.
* I have disabled it for this link and corrected the javascript error. I have also
reverted to an empty hashtag.
* However it is still not working, it only jump to the top as it’s the normal behavior
of the browser.
* Could you tell me a bit more about how the link is targeted? Is it linked to
the classname?
* Thanks for your help!

* Ok [@epipo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epipo/), I have found the problem.
* The theme is echoing the footer after the “wp_print_footer_scripts” WordPress
hook. The theme should print the footer with the “wp_footer” hook, which runs
before the “wp_print_footer_scripts”, as you can see on codex ([https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference)).
* This cause the link to be inserted after the kit has attached the click event
to links with the class “OpenCookiePreferences”.

* Yep, you’re a genius!! My bad I haven’t realized that…
Thanks a lot for your
help 🙂
