Title: WordPress 3.2 errors in admin: jQuery not defined Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # WordPress 3.2 errors in admin: jQuery not defined * [juandbb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juandbb/) * (@juandbb) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/) * Hello, * I have three websites based on WordPress on different hostings and the three of them are giving me the same error after upgrading to wordpress 3.2: * When in admin (the front page works ok, the error is only in admin) I get these two errors: missing } after property list in load-scripts.php jQuery is not defined * I have tried disabling the plugins, uploading again the admin folder and changing to Twenty Eleven theme, but no success. * It’s very strange, but I have one of the three websites in local and it gives no error. * The three hostings are ok for WordPress installation (PHP and MySQL versions) * I would really appreciate your help, as I don’t know what else can I do.

I’m afraid i’m not sure what you’ve got on there. * [kuzjnvn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuzjnvn/) * (@kuzjnvn) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169166) * i have same problem with you , now i can add new post remote only , and wait for new update . * I’m do anything like you , clear plugin folder , disable plugin , but still cant write any thing in add new post page . * My server is ok for 3.2 * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169167) * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from a **fresh** download of WordPress. * [Albert Brückmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/planetshaker/) * (@planetshaker) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169187) * Same problem here! Called my IT Support, there everything worked. Tried it in FF5, Safari (newest) and Chrome on Mac. Then tried it on Windows in FF4, same behavior: no JQuery effects. THEN tried it in IE8 in Windows and it worked! Strange?! * Any ideas for that? * [iwbyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iwbyte/) * (@iwbyte) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169264) * Here’s a solution that may apply to you: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-post-page-broken-linksmenu-expansion-in-32](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-post-page-broken-linksmenu-expansion-in-32) * > Install and enable JSON extension for PHP * It worked great for me on a similar but not quite the same issue but i’m just grasping at straws here 🙁 * Thread Starter [juandbb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juandbb/) * (@juandbb) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169266) * Hi planetshaker, yes it works with IE8.

No premium themes or any plugins installed, just the default plugins and twenty-eleven. * I can’t edit posts using Firefox 6, can’t drag widgets, the dropdowns don’t work in the admin panel… * In Firebug I see these errors when I click on any option in the admin panel: * ``` missing } after property list http://mydomain.org/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=0&load=jquery,utils&ver=fb5c271ac01e8186b23ece33d5ce4961 Line 2 http://mydomain.org/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=0&load=jquery,utils&ver=fb5c271ac01e8186b23ece33d5ce4961 ``` * And plenty of errors like: * ``` jQuery is not defined http://mydomain.org/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=0&load=hoverIntent,common,jquery-color,schedule,wp-ajax-response,autosave,suggest,wp-lists,jquery-ui-core,jquery-ui-widget,jquery-ui-mouse,jquery-ui-sortable,postbox,post,thickbox,media-upload&ver=87a4c4284991be39a40fcf5225c50d94 Line 1 http://mydomain.org/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=0&load=hoverIntent,common,jquery-color,schedule,wp-ajax-response,autosave,suggest,wp-lists,jquery-ui-core,jquery-ui-widget,jquery-ui-mouse,jquery-ui-sortable,postbox,post,thickbox,media-upload&ver=87a4c4284991be39a40fcf5225c50d94 ``` * It’s working in IE9, though… * [Albert Brückmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/planetshaker/) * (@planetshaker) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169433) * It helped to clear all cache and reload the page again. Now I have it working in all browsers! * [Mikel Perez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikelp/) * (@mikelp) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169434) * Thanks for rreplying, PlanetShaker! * Unfortunately, that didn’t work for me. I emptied the cache completely, but I still receive the same errors. * Any additional sugegstions? * [Albert Brückmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/planetshaker/) * (@planetshaker) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-32-errors-in-admin-jquery-not-defined/#post-2169435) * I think it’s just because the new jQuery, which is used here, is not being loaded correctly. Try it on other computers. What happens?
