Confirmed this is an issue as found the following lines of code. * ``` wp-content/plugins/headspace2/js/headspace.js 26: $( 'a[href=#toggle]' ).click( function(){ 61: $( 'a[href=#toggle]' ).click( function(){ ``` * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275454) * And that is the issue outlined here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-45-master-list?replies=7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-45-master-list?replies=7) * > WordPress includes the latest version of jQuery 1.12, which was released back > in January: [https://blog.jquery.com/2016/01/08/jquery-2-2-and-1-12-released/](https://blog.jquery.com/2016/01/08/jquery-2-2-and-1-12-released/) > It has been discovered that old versions of jQuery worked with an incorrect > syntax. That bug was one amongst many bugs fixed in jQuery 1.12. The symptom > of this problem is the following message (or something very similar) in the > Javascript console when viewing the site in a browser: > Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: a[href*=#]:not([href > =#]) > This is a bit of code that is in somewhat common usage. The problem is that > it is incorrect. The link location (hash marks, #, in this case) should be > quoted: a[href*=”#”]:not([href=”#”]) > Another example would be a[href=#scroll-to-top] which, when written correctly, > should be a[href=”#scroll-to-top”] > This can happen in other ways too, this is just one commonplace example. The > signs that distinguish this problem are the href and the hash mark (#). > So, what a lot of people are finding out now is that a whole lot of Javascript > code out there was doing-it-wrong all this time, and they never noticed because > jQuery incorrectly worked with that particular style of broken code. Once WordPress > upgraded, and people got the new jQuery, people are now seeing those bugs in > their own code. > All that broken Javascript code will need to be fixed. Fortunately, it’s a > pretty simple fix, but in the meantime, it’s still broken. > The best advice we can give you is to update all your plugins and themes to > the latest versions by their vendors. Plugin and theme authors should be looking > to the JS libraries they use for fixes, and including those newer versions > of the affected libraries in their code. * [ralpheastwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ralpheastwood/) * (@ralpheastwood) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275490) * This is exactly the problem I’m facing. I updated all the plugins (at least those that could be updated!) – but still the problem persists. What’s the solution please? * [Jacob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsolis/) * (@jsolis) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275544) * If your problem is related with headspace, then go to: wp-content/plugins/headspace2/ js/headspace.js * Line 26: Change: $( ‘a[href=#toggle]’ ).click( function(){ With: $( ‘a[href=”# toggle”]’ ).click( function(){ * Line 61: Change: $( ‘a[href=#toggle]’ ).click( function(){ With: $( ‘a[href=”# toggle”]’ ).click( function(){ * [Jeff McNeill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffmcneill/) * (@jeffmcneill) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275576) * Jacob has the winning post. * The only change is in two places to put double quotes around #toggle in /js/headspace. js, as noted lines 26 and 61, but a search and replace would find them easily. * That’s it, works great again. Maybe time to fork this plugin so that we don’t have to keep hacking edits. This and the Goodey’s redirection plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/)) are really important, and just need a bit of maintenance every so often. * [WereBear](https://wordpress.org/support/users/werebear/) * (@werebear) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275619) * Bless you for this. Fixed! I have eight years worth of SEO built into my posts with this plugin. * [Sorbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sorbing/) * (@sorbing) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275628) * I solved the problem by replacing a plugin on Yoast SEO. I wrote a post “Hot to import meta-data from HeadSpace2 to Yoast SEO” – [http://onedev.net/post/709](http://onedev.net/post/709) * [Itsuko Miyake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/torikumo/) * (@torikumo) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275656) * And page-settings-edit.php Line 19 `Change:` * `With: ` * Thank you blog [http://irec.jp/wordpress/wordpress4-5-headspace2/](http://irec.jp/wordpress/wordpress4-5-headspace2/) * [GaryManners](https://wordpress.org/support/users/garymanners/) * (@garymanners) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275666) * [@jacob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacob/) – the hero here. His fix worked. I lost half a day trying to figure out this before I realized it was the plugin. * If would be great it some one forked this. I’ve used Yoast and All-in One but they are too bulky, too many options. I like Headspace2 because it cuts to the chase and does the SEO essentials well. * [GaryManners](https://wordpress.org/support/users/garymanners/) * (@garymanners) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275669) * I just spent a few hours looking around for good replacements for Headspace2. * I like Greg’s High Performance SEO [https://wordpress.org/plugins/gregs-high-performance-seo/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gregs-high-performance-seo/) * also Add Meta Tags looks like a good replacement for headspace2 , though a little geeky in it’s assumption of tech language. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-meta-tags/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-meta-tags/) * There is also a converter which promises to convert your Headspace2 data to the other plugins (works with the two above mentioned plugins.) : SEO Data Transporter: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-data-transporter/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-data-transporter/) I used this to convert a site with about 20 pages and as many posts that used Headspace2. Converted to Greg’s HP SEO and it seems like it worked. * I don’t work for any of the above plugins, just though it might help the other folks finding who stumbled upon this post in their attempts to fi their headspace2- 4.5 compatibility issue. * -cheers, GM * [michaelopdenacker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelopdenacker/) * (@michaelopdenacker) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275677) * I confirm that Torikumo’s change was needed too, at least in my case, where Jacob’s changes were not sufficient. * Many thanks! Michael. * [Jeff McNeill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffmcneill/) * (@jeffmcneill) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275685) * I want to get a new version of Headspace into the plugins library, but the WordPress plugin folks require a lot more refactoring/security changes before they will let it in. * In the meantime, I’ve put my version (bugfixes only, no features/refactoring) up on Github. Feel free to contribute, add or comment on Issues, etc. I’ve been using Headspace for years and years and see nothing that has the simple and clean functionality. * [https://github.com/jeffmcneill/apex-headspace](https://github.com/jeffmcneill/apex-headspace) * [Michael Visser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visser/) * (@visser) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wp-45/#post-7275690) * Hi [@johnny5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnny5/), are you in a position to comment on this and whether a minor Plugin release will be announced to resolve this jQuery issue?
