Thanks for using Poet, I’m sorry to hear about this issue.
When visiting the site, I see a Javascript error coming from the Autoptimize plugin. If there is a cache specific to that plugin try emptying it, and then deactivate the plugin temporarily. This should fix the issue with the menu.
The error is coming specifically from the Javascript features in the plugin, so I would try deactivating that part if you continue using Autoptimize.
In Autoptimize try disabling the “force JS into head”-option and add js/jquery/jquery.js to the comma-separated list of JS optimization exclusions. that will probably fix your problem.

I’m so glad I asked. I went into Auto Optimize and turned off the Java button. Now everything is working again! Thank you guys so much. You’re the best!
Well, if you want all to work but still have JS optimization (which benefits your performance), then do give this a try;
try disabling the “force JS into head”-option and add js/jquery/jquery.js to the comma-separated list of JS optimization exclusions.

Hi Frank,
I tried to find “force JS into head” but I couldn’t find those exact words anywhere.
I did see all this, however:
$delete_options=array(“autoptimize_cache_clean”, “autoptimize_cache_nogzip”, “autoptimize_css”, “autoptimize_css_datauris”, “autoptimize_css_justhead”, “autoptimize_css_defer”, “autoptimize_css_defer_inline”, “autoptimize_css_inline”, “autoptimize_css_exclude”, “autoptimize_html”, “autoptimize_html_keepcomments”, “autoptimize_js”, “autoptimize_js_exclude”, “autoptimize_js_forcehead”, “autoptimize_js_justhead”, “autoptimize_js_trycatch”, “autoptimize_version”, “autoptimize_show_adv”, “autoptimize_cdn_url”, “autoptimize_cachesize_notice”,”autoptimize_css_include_inline”,”autoptimize_js_include_inline”,”autoptimize_css_nogooglefont”);
Is this the section you are talking about?
that would be autoptimize_js_forcehead when looking under the hood, but it should be easier going to settings -> autoptimize -> show advanced settings -> javascript options -> force js in <head> 🙂
Hi Frank,
It doesn’t give me an option for “show advanced settings” anywhere. When I go to settings, it just gives checkboxes for the following:
HTML Options
Optimize HTML Code?
JavaScript Options
Optimize JavaScript Code?
CSS Options
Optimize CSS Code?
CDN Options
CDN Base URL with or edit.
Or it gives me the option to edit the code which is where I got that stuff I posted above. Do you think I should delete “autoptimize_js_forcehead” and add “js/jquery/jquery.js” into that code?
can you compare what you have with this screenshot, where in the top right-corner of the main part of the settings-page you see an “show advanced settings”-button?

Oohhhh I see it now. I am so sorry, I did not know where to look. I followed your instructions and disabled force, and added your query. The menu is working fine now.
Thanks again so much for your help! I really appreciate it 🙂
