 * EME has been working fine, but now, using Version 2.0.53, I can’t add locations
   to events. I get the edit window; I type in a name; but when I enter an address
   the name field goes blank.
 * The JavaScript console shows a set of errors, starting with a syntax error right
   at the beginning of the load-scripts.php routine, in line 8.
 * It looks like this:
    1 /*! jQuery v1.12.4 | (c) jQuery Foundation | jquery.org/
   license */ 2 !function(a, b) { 3 “object” == typeof module && “object” == typeof
   module.exports ? module.exports = a.document ? b(a, !0) : function(a) { 4 if (!
   a.document) 5 throw new Error(“jQuery requires a window with a document”); 6 
   return b(a) 7 } : b(a) 8 }(“undefined” != typeof window ? window : this, function(
   a, b) {
 * Exception with thrown value: SyntaxError: The string did not match the expected
   pattern.
 * The GoDaddy server where this is hosted has been acting flaky for several days,
   with slow response times, intermittently failing to load images, and hanging 
   up when updating modules, so maybe the problem’s with their JQuery install?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-adding-locations%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * That error gets triggered by some javascript (maybe godaddy stuff, or some counter…).
   Find that javascript and disable it, then your backend will work again.

 * I’m getting this problem, too. Unfortunately, I’m not code-savvy enough to go
   an find the syntax error or the java script that might be causing it. I’m not
   afraid to edit a file on the back end, but I don’t know where to look nor do 
   I know how to access the java script console. I don’t mean to be needy. But, 
   can you possibly lend a little time to provide some direction to help me get 
   started in the right direction?
 * I should probably add that my site is hosted on SiteGround and is very stable.
   So, I don’t think the error is caused by weirdness with my hosting service.

 * I’m sorry, but you don’t provide much info to go on. The only thing I can say
   is to check your browser console for errors. Most of the time this error is due
   to another plugin or your theme. So start with disabling all plugins and re-enable
   one by one and check again. If disabling all doesn’t change your problem, try
   first with a default wp theme (twentyseventeen or so). Make sure no caching is
   implemented too, and clear your browser cache.

 * I think I tried all these suggestions, without success. However, there does seem
   to be a workaround on my site. Try entering the new location on the Locations
   page as a first step. After it’s in the database, you seem to be able to enter
   it successfully when entering particular events using the little pull down menu
   for locations on the page you get with the Location tab.
