 * Hello,
 * We can’t add content using the Visual Editor and most of our site users are not
   familiar with adding appropriate tags with just the text editor. When I try to
   click, there’s an error which says:
 * > jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2 Uncaught Error: no such method ‘instance’ for autocomplete
   > widget instance
 * Here are the links for the images of the errors:

 * I can see that it’s definitely in conflict with the JS scripts of WP tinymce.
   We have tried the following:
 * – disabled all plugins
    – disabled the plugins one by one – reinstalling WordPress–
   reinstalling just the WP TinyMCE files
 * All of those did not work.
    FYI, this might be related our theme getting out 
   of date because it was customized and no support for update. I’ve read on some
   articles that the latest WP Version uses a different JS now(correct me if I’m
   wrong) and that both of them should use the same JS, so the incompatibility between
   WP and the theme might be the problem.
 * I hope someone could help.
 * Thanks!
    -Eli

 * Have you tried switching themes to see if that removes the error? That could 
   tell you whether it’s definitely the theme causing the problem.
