* Hello there !
* After updating the theme to v3.17, i can see a lot of JS errors in the web dev
console during scrolling on any page.
* Error message:
**responsive-scripts.min.js?ver=1.2.6:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot
read property ‘style’ of null at scrollFunction (responsive-scripts.min.js?ver
=1.2.6:1)**
* I am using a child theme since my first install in 2012 and had no major problem
with it.
* I have left my dev website home page link where you will be able to reproduce
the errors.
* What am I doing wrong ?
* Edit:
I see that the responsive-scripts.min.js script is trying to get an element
on the page with the id=”scroll” and store it in ‘mybutton’ variable, but it
fails to find it and so when it is latter trying to change the css display property
with mybutton.style.display=”block” or mybutton.style.display=”none”, the script
fails and the exception is raised. What is this element with “scroll” id ? And
what is supposed to be ‘mybutton’ ? A scroll top button ?
* I will continue investigations while awaiting your lights !
* Thank you for your help.
Kind regards. GB

* Hi ! Thanks for your reply,
* When you said “footer.php”, my two lazy brain sides reconnected…
* I’m so confused because I just realized that a long time ago I had the need to
create a footer.php in my child theme to add a modification.
* I think I’ve been lazy during last updates and I simply didn’t update my footer.
php for a while…
* I’m surprised that it did not happen sooner ! ;-P
* Thank you anyway for your help, very much appreciated,
Best regards. GB.

* Hello !
* My experience is quite good so far thank you !
I never had the need to use the
theme advanced functionalities and I never had to make huge modifications in
my child theme to meet my requirements. I have only added some css tweaks to
deal with dimensions, hiding elements (scroll to top button for example 😉 ),
moving the Log-In link on the right of the menu, adjust marring, padding, some
colours and form inputs… That’s pretty much all I’ve done ! For example, yesterday
I realized that the theme code has evolve enough to get rid of my footer.php
modifications in my child theme.
* Easy as it is ! For me anyway.
I think the theme basis is strong enough to please
most of WP users.
* It’s a good theme, you’ve made a good job here.
I wish you to continue like
this for many years to come !
* See you soon !
Best Regards GB.
