Yes, only on mobile resolution targeting on iOS. Error happens even ispecting Astra official website itself. * [@rafaeldplanet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafaeldplanet/) : you can add js with astra custom layouts (only astra pro), via astra hook plugin or in a child theme. * [Herman Asrori (BSF)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bsfherman/) * (@bsfherman) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-referenceerror-bodyelement-is-not-defined/#post-15305708) * Hi [@pjlam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pjlam/), * Please try to disable all of the plugins installed on your site temporarily and see if the errors disappear. If it does, then please reactivate the plugins back one after another until you noticed the errors come back. The last plugin you just reactivate could be the culprit. * [@rafaeldplanet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafaeldplanet/) & [@clairedelacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clairedelacroix/), please open your own thread. Although the problem may look the same, the root of the causes could be different. Feel free to cross-link your thread with this one so we are aware of both. In the meantime, please do what I asked to pjlam above. * Please let us know how you go. * Kind regards, Herman 🙂 * [clairedelacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clairedelacroix/) * (@clairedelacroix) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-referenceerror-bodyelement-is-not-defined/#post-15308527) * Hi Herman, * disabled all plugin as debugging routine, js error is still there even with astra theme alone. I’ve also setted up a local enviroment, same error. * It shows up in dev console (incognito mode or not) only emulating iOS devices, android and desktop are all fine. No performance issue. * Could you please check it? Because I’m seeing it on almost every astra powered page posted here. * Thank you. * [Ahmed Abu Shamia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colyz93/) * (@colyz93) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-referenceerror-bodyelement-is-not-defined/#post-15331324) * Same here * ``` Uncaught ReferenceError: bodyElement is not defined at get_browser (frontend.js?ver=3.7.7:61:30) at frontend.js?ver=3.7.7:62:1 at frontend.js?ver=3.7.7:77:241 get_browser @ frontend.js?ver=3.7.7:61 (anonymous) @ frontend.js?ver=3.7.7:62 (anonymous) @ frontend.js?ver=3.7.7:77 ``` * [marcusvarrosa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusvarrosa/) * (@marcusvarrosa) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-referenceerror-bodyelement-is-not-defined/#post-15332692) * I have the same problem.
