Waitlist button not working for WP 5

Hey guys,

Hit a few glitches with WP 5 update, but I think the only thing relating to EE is the waitlist button not active: https://lupineart.com/events/very-beginner-watercolour/

Any ideas?

Thanks, Derek

Hi Derek,

There’s a lot of JavaScript (JS) errors being thrown on the page, as the Waitlist button uses JS to display the form, the errors are preventing that code from running so you get no form.

Starting from the beginning, have you checked for an updated version of your theme?

Hi Tony,

Yet – Updated to 3.18.3. Elegant says that it’s 5.0 compatible, but not sure if that means not to expect another update shortly… Maybe I should hang tight if it’s likely they will update again and resolve these things?

Hi Derek,

This is likely related to your other topic where I mentioned that the Autoptimize plugin is causing some JavaScript errors. If you temporarily deactivate Autopitmize does the Wait List button begin working again?

Yep, that seemed to be the problem. So I assume I’m waiting for an update on Autoptomize?

The hand cursor doesn’t show on hover though, not sure if it was always like that or not. I’m not too worried about that though, but if you know why, I’d appreciate the help on that.

Thanks,

Derek

I have no knowledge of an update for Autoptimize. Quite likely it’s a configuration issue. You may need to make some tweaks to the Autoptimize plugin’s settings in order to avoid JavaScript errors, or find an alternative that does not break scripts. If you’re going to add plugins that combine/compress/minify scripts, you will need to occasional test and troubleshoot those plugins after doing WordPress core updates.

The hand cursor doesn’t show on hover though, not sure if it was always like that or not. I’m not too worried about that though, but if you know why, I’d appreciate the help on that.

You can add the following CSS to change that:

.button {
cursor: pointer;
}

done and done.

I unchecked: Aggregate all linked JS-files to have them loaded non-render blocking? If this option is off, the individual JS-files will remain in place but will be minified.

and that seemed to resolve it all.

Thanks so much, you guys are awesome!

Derek
