    Hi there,

    I just installed the latest version of WP.

    After installing the plugin version 1.1.1, I see this error in my developer console – Uncaught TypeError: a.widget is not a function.

    It points to line 271 of wp-admin/plugins.php script.

    I have a couple of WP sites that’s on 4.2.3 as well, but I don’t have this issue.

    I’m not sure what the problem here is. Appreciate it if you could take a look.

    What I have tried –

    1. Disable the Plugin and the error disappears
    2. Reinstalled WP a few times but error persists

    However, if I use an older version – 0.8.5 – I don’t get the error.

    I think the actual error is from something unrelated to our plugin, but there’s chance still that something with our plugin is causing an issue enough for that js error to appear from elsewhere. We don’t have any reference to “widget” in our plugin’s code, for example.

    What WP Admin screen are you on when you see that?

    Is it causing any issues with functionality somewhere?

    Thanks for your reply.

    I’m guessing it may not be the plugin as well.

    I took a look at my web server, and it’s on PHP version 5.5.24. I think my other wordpress sites are running on PHP version 5.4.

    Are your WP sites on PHP 5.4 or 5.5?

    And I got the error on the main admin screen.

    In terms of functionality, I’m not fully certain because I downgraded the plugin to 0.8.5.

    It’s not a PHP version issue, if you’re seeing it in your browser console. It’s a javascript issue. “a.widget is not a function” sounds very much like a minified js thing.

    Not seeing anything similar on my end, but I don’t have the same plugins active as you do as well. Also shouldn’t be loading any of our js in that screen.

    Just trying to help narrow down sources here.
