Title: ScratchPad Issues Last modified: September 4, 2018 --- # ScratchPad Issues * Resolved [aron2354](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aron2354/) * (@aron2354) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scratchpad-issues/) * So I have installed scratchpad and everything looks great. * Except on mobile platform the menu doesn’t work. I click the menu and it stays the same. * Also the wordpress “like” button doesn’t load. It doesn’t load in both desktop version or mobile. * I think a javascript is not working maybe due to some cache plugin or some plugin which causes the javascript to not load. any help? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fscratchpad-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [lizkarkoski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lizkarkoski/) * (@lizkarkoski) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scratchpad-issues/#post-10660319) * Hi – * I’m happy to take a look at this. Can you tell me which type of mobile device you are viewing the site on? What is the browser type and version number? * Does it appear the same in more than one browser? * [Gary Bairead](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary-barrett/) * (@gary-barrett) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scratchpad-issues/#post-10660471) * Hi [@aron2354](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aron2354/), * Since the mobile menu doesn’t work in any browser, it looks like there’s a possible javascript issue with the site. * Has the footer.php file in the theme been edited? * Sometimes the call to [wp_footer()](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_footer) gets removed accidentally from the file when attempting to modify credits/attribution. This [prevents themes and plugins from being able to load javascript files for things like menus](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-on-iphone-does-not-work-anymore/). * If the footer has been edited, please try reinstalling an unedited version of the theme, or you can replace the edited footer.php file with an unmodified version: * Unmodified footer.php file: [https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/scratchpad/1.0.6/footer.php](https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/scratchpad/1.0.6/footer.php) * If theme files haven’t been edited, please check if the menu works when all plugins are temporarily disabled at the same time. * If the menu works when all plugins are disabled, please reactivate the plugins one-by-one until you find the plugin that causes the problem. * Reactivate WP Fastest Cache last, as it modifies javascript files by minifying and combining them. * Thread Starter [aron2354](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aron2354/) * (@aron2354) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scratchpad-issues/#post-10660982) * [@gary-barrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary-barrett/) It worked. I replaced the footer theme with the original one and it works now. Both the issues solved. I don’t know why it did not work with edited footer even though I did only a small change to it. Thanks again * [@lizkarkoski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lizkarkoski/) thanks a lot for helping.

This small piece of PHP is used by themes and plugins to load javascript in the footer. * `` * If you’d like to edit theme files, the safe way to do it is by creating a child theme. This will also prevent the edits from being overwritten when the theme is updated. * **Step 1: ** Create a Child theme * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/) * **Step 2:** Make a copy of the [footer.php](https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/scratchpad/1.0.6/footer.php) from Scratchpad in the child theme. * **Step 3:** Edit the footer link credits, but be careful not to delete: * `` * **Step 4:** Activate the child theme * Thread Starter [aron2354](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aron2354/) * (@aron2354) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scratchpad-issues/#post-10662807) * [@gary-barrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary-barrett/) thanks a lot.
