Title: jquery error Last modified: May 14, 2020 --- # jquery error * Resolved [adamovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamovic/) * (@adamovic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/) * Hi guys, * I’m having a problem with Autoptimize and I cant figure out what’s going on. Attempting to combine javascript and css files into fewer files to reduce the number of HTTP requests upon page load I installed Autoptimize and it worked great. Then I noticed some elements on my page broke, which was somewhat expected. Since I didn’t know exactly which scripts needed to be excluded, I deactivated Autoptimize and decided to start again from scratch. But as I deactivated the plugin a bunch of jquery errors popped up in DevTools. * Screenshot of site before: [screenshot-of-site-before](https://gamblineers.com/before-site) * And screenshot of site after deactivation: [screenshot-of-site-with-errors](https://gamblineers.com/error-site) * If I open the site while logged in to wordpress, I don’t see the errors and the site looks right but if I go incognito or use another browser/computer, the errors appear. I guess that’s an admin/cache thing. * I can’t undo things more than I already did with deactivating the plugin and if possible, I would like to continue using Autoptimize + figure out which scripts and css to exclude if possible. * Any ideas?

[site with less errors](https://gamblineers.com/screenshot-less-errors) * What I don’t get is why didn’t I get these errors before? I have Async Javascript for quite some time now and jquery was never excluded yet the site worked fine. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12833423) * still seeing jquery asynced I’m afraid: * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/MihIIwj.jpg?ssl=1) * Thread Starter [adamovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamovic/) * (@adamovic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12833544) * Hmm, I tried asyncing jquery, defering jquery, excluding jquery and deactivating async plugin but nothing works. Actually all errors remain, I spoke too soon before. * Right now I have both async and autoptimize deactivated. Does it make more sense to try solving the errors with plugins deactivated or activated as the problem began when I deactivated Autoptimize? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12833913) * start with AsyncJS disabled and AO enabled + make sure all page caches are cleared, we’ll take it from there 🙂 * Thread Starter [adamovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamovic/) * (@adamovic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838114) * Ok, I activated AO with the same settings as before. Currently I have these locations excluded for both javascript and css: – wp-includes/js/dist/, – wp- includes/js/tinymce/, – js/jquery/jquery.js, – wp-content/plugins/elementor/,– wp-content/plugins/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/ * The first 3 were already there by default. The errors are now gone but there are almost no pictures on site. I’m guessing I have to exclude some css? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838215) * ok can you add `wp-content/themes/neve/defer-recaptcha.js` or if that does not work `wp-content/themes/neve/` to the JS optimization exclusion list as well? * Thread Starter [adamovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamovic/) * (@adamovic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838230) * I’m suspecting that I should somehow exclude additional CSS from the Theme Customizer. In there I have css applying to site logo, mobile menu, fixed elements, …, which all seem to be affected by AO. But I don’t know where the additional css is stored 😛 * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838242) * first things first; do images show when “optimize CSS” is off? * Thread Starter [adamovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamovic/) * (@adamovic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838331) * Ha! Adding wp-content/themes/neve/defer-recaptcha.js worked, all images are back 🙂 Now there’s only one thing left – the big white space under the header on front page and the “side menu” (the grey rectangle with 3 links) which should be fixed to the right side of the page. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838433) * ok, so does that white space go away when disabling CSS optimization? * Thread Starter [adamovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamovic/) * (@adamovic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838466) * Yes, it does. Uncheck aggregate? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838483) * good idea 🙂 * Thread Starter [adamovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamovic/) * (@adamovic) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838504) * Ok 🙂 everything works. If I wanted css to stay aggregated, I would need to find the css file which should be excluded and add it right? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-error-77/#post-12838511) * well, next up; re-enable “aggregate CSS” but disable “also aggregate inline CSS”?
