Title: JavaScript Error Assigning Featured Image Last modified: May 30, 2019 --- # JavaScript Error Assigning Featured Image * Resolved [Howdy_McGee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howdy_mcgee/) * (@howdy_mcgee) * [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-error-assigning-featured-image/) * Hello, * I’m running into a javascript error whenever I remove and try to assign a featured image. I click the remove featured image button, click the set featured image link, and choose my image from the media library. Once the Attachment Details panel has opened I see groups but it’s not in a select2 as I would expect and I cannot select my featured image because of this. The error I get in console is as follows: * ``` Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(...).selectize is not a function at eval (eval at (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,moxiejs,plupload&ver=5.2.1:2), :1:162) at eval () at load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,moxiejs,plupload&ver=5.2.1:2 at Function.globalEval (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,moxiejs,plupload&ver=5.2.1:2) at Ga (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,moxiejs,plupload&ver=5.2.1:3) at a.fn.init.append (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,moxiejs,plupload&ver=5.2.1:3) at wp.Backbone.Subviews.insert (wp-backbone.min.js?ver=5.2.1:1) at wp.Backbone.Subviews._attach (wp-backbone.min.js?ver=5.2.1:1) at wp.Backbone.Subviews.set (wp-backbone.min.js?ver=5.2.1:1) at wp.Backbone.Subviews.add (wp-backbone.min.js?ver=5.2.1:1) ``` * The post is a custom post type. I’ve used the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin to narrow down the issue specifically to Groups. Let me know if you need further information or how I can proceed.

I’ve gone with a re-installation of WordPress too. I’m open to suggestions on what else it could be. * – – – – – – – – – * **Editing plugin files to try and debug the issue**: * lib\views\class-groups-uie.php LN 100 if I console log jQuery and selectize, it is telling me that `selectize` is undefined at this point. * `$call_output .= 'console.log( typeof selectize );';` * – – – – – – – – – * lib\views\class-groups-uie.php LN 70 * If I throw in a quick test: * `error_log( ( ! wp_script_is( 'selectize' ) ) ? 'true' : 'false' );` * I get 1 false then a ton of trues but if I inspect the source ( not view source) and search for `selectize.min.js` it’s nowhere to be found. If I enqueue these scripts normally it works as expected: * ``` add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', function() { global $groups_version; if ( !wp_script_is( 'selectize' ) ) { wp_enqueue_script( 'selectize', GROUPS_PLUGIN_URL . 'js/selectize/selectize.min.js', array( 'jquery' ), $groups_version, false ); } if ( !wp_style_is( 'selectize' ) ) { wp_enqueue_style( 'selectize', GROUPS_PLUGIN_URL . 'css/selectize/selectize.bootstrap2.css', array(), $groups_version ); } if ( !wp_style_is( 'groups-uie' ) ) { wp_enqueue_style( 'groups-uie', GROUPS_PLUGIN_URL . 'css/groups-uie.css', array(), $groups_version ); } } ); ``` * [@proaktion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/) * My guess would be that the scripts and styles are trying to be enqueued whenever the media frame opens but since the page is already loaded and the frame populates dynamically the scripts cannot be included. I imagine if I had a groups metabox on the page this would load just fine since the selectize script has already loaded but since I **do not** have a groups metabox on this specific post type, no selectize has been enqueued and thus the issue occurs. Anywhere the media module is needs to have selectize whether or not the Groups metabox is present. A simple solution would be to load selectize on admin if a selectize script isn’t already present. * Hopefully a solution for this issue can be pushed in the near future. - This reply was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by [Howdy_McGee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howdy_mcgee/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by [Howdy_McGee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howdy_mcgee/). * Plugin Author [Kento](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/) * (@proaktion) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-error-assigning-featured-image/#post-11690692) * Please update to the latest version just released where this should be solved for you.
