dropdowns quit working after gravity forms update

Oh, I also cleared by browser cache, and I guess I wouldn't lose my .css, but I still hesitate to uninstall. It seems like something was overwritten.

I'm sorry--I mean the drop-down menus at the top of my page in the custom menu. There should be drop downs under Jackets and under Camps & Programs.

Thanks!

Thank you--I found that script (I assume you were speaking of the Add This Analytics script above jquery. I disabled that plugin to remove that script, and that did not solve the problem. Also, I use that plugin with other sites with dropdowns.

The problem began right after I updated Gravity Forms with the new update. I hadn't done anything else. Is there some code in that update that could conflict with the drop-downs? I tried disabling GF, but that did not solve the problem either.

Thanks so much!

P.S. The subscribe feature here doesn't seem to be working on this post.

Hi Karen,

If you take another look back at this screenshot: http://grab.by/afij ...you'll see that there are two scripts being loaded above jQuery that rely on jQuery and should be loaded below jQuery. This is not necessarily a plugin issue and may reside with the theme itself. Here are both scripts that are generating errors on the page:

[html]
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://alvinbaseball.org/wp-content/themes/piano-black/js/scroll.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://alvinbaseball.org/wp-content/themes/piano-black/js/jscript.js"></script>

Gravity Forms will only load GF-related scripts and does not add/remove either of the scripts above. You will probably find that these scripts are being added manually in your header.php file.

I realize that this might be unrelated to the forms, but I'm at a loss. Here is the jquery script code in the header. I don't understand what could be causing the problem:

<?php wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); ?>
<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/scroll.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jscript.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/comment.js"></script>

Hi farrelldoc,

When a script is enqueued it is not immediately output on that line. Instead it is added to the "queue" of scripts that should be outputted when the wp_head() function is called.

I would recommend enqueueing the all scripts rather than directly outputting them to the page (which is what your theme is currently doing). This will make sure that they are output in the correct location. You are also able to set script dependencies to ensure that any other scripts that your script is dependent on are loaded before your script.

You can find more information about enqueueing scripts here:

Don't forget to set jQuery as a dependency for both of your scripts generating errors.

Glad to help. :)

Were you able to resolve this issue?
