Date Picker Error Preventing Event Submissions

I think your problem is with the jQuery updater plugin you’re running. It’s trying to load a file (jquery-2.0.3.min.map) that isn’t there which means the submission form can’t work correctly.

I can’t see any reason to run that plugin because WordPress uses the most up to date version of jQuery, so I’d deactivate that plugin.

If that doesn’t correct the problem, leave it deactivated but use the post at https://msyk.es/blog/prevent-jquery-wordpress-theme/ to help you load jQuery correctly.

I added that AFTER the date picker wasn’t working. I saw a post where someone said it actually helped theirs work. I’ve deactivated it and it’s still not working.

I already tried that link…that was the FIRST, THIRD and FIFTH thing I tried. It’s not working for me!

hmm, I still think that it’s a plugin or theme conflict particular with the jquery or javascript conflict somewhere since it’s working fine on my test sites and I wasn’t able to replicate this.

I’m having the same issue where the date picker isn’t working, but it’s only happening in Chrome. It works fine in Firefox.

Here’s the error reported in Chrome Dev Tools:

got exception when trying to postMessage from https://testsite.dev/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=event to javascript://""
DOMException {message: "Invalid target origin 'javascript://""' in a call to 'postMessage'.", name: "SyntaxError", code: 12, stack: "Error: Invalid target origin 'javascript://""' in …?    at <anonymous>:40:23?    at <anonymous>:45:3", INDEX_SIZE_ERR: 1…}

stack: "Error: Invalid target origin 'javascript://""' in a call to 'postMessage'.?    at <anonymous>:40:23?    at <anonymous>:45:3"

Again, it works in Firefox, so I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the JavaScript rendering engine in Chrome or what it might be.

@culsire_ceo Can you post the code from the tutorial that you’ve pasted into your functions.php file? Don’t forget to use the code button on the forum to be sure the code doesn’t get mangled. Thanks.

Are you using any custom templates for the submission form?

What version of Events Manager and WordPress are you using?

WordPress Version 3.8
Event Manager Version 5.5.2

No custom templates for the event submission form, however I do have Gravity Forms plug-in.

The tutorial said:

Typical – functions.php

This is the usual situation.
1. wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
2. wp_register_script(‘jquery’, ‘https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js’, false, ‘1.4.4’);
3. wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);

The solution is easy though, just delete it! WordPress will then start loading its own copy of the jQuery library.

WELL I NEVER FOUND THAT TO DELETE… And I never added anything either. I didn’t find the hardcoded line, so there was nothing to replace. And the<?php wp_head(); ?> is in both the header and footer files.

This is what I found that was the closest to that above:
/*—————————load js scripts————————————–*/
function mesocolumn_theme_load_scripts() {
global $theme_version, $is_IE;
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
wp_enqueue_script(‘hoverIntent’);

Ok, here are two things to try with that code. First, try commenting both lines, like this:

//wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
//wp_enqueue_script('hoverIntent');

The // characters stop that line of code running.

If that doesn’t get the datepicker to work, try just commenting out the “hoverIntent” script. Like this:

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
//wp_enqueue_script('hoverIntent');

Since the “hoverIntent” script runs in a mouse movement – and so does the datepicker – it’s possible that’s the problem.

Still getting this error message: Dates must have correct formatting. Please use the date picker provided.

I’m going to turn off all the plug-ins now and see if that works. Then I’ll try redownloading this Event Manage plugin and see if that helps now that I’ve stopped those lines of coding.

I’ll let you know

YAY!!!! It’s working!!!! ??

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m not a programmer and I appreciate your patience and diligence in helping me get this resolved! I’m super pleased!

?? Resolved

Trying to mark this as resolved ??
