scrollFunction (responsive-scripts.min.js?ver=1.2.6:1) error

    Hello there !

    After updating the theme to v3.17, i can see a lot of JS errors in the web dev console during scrolling on any page.

    Error message:
    responsive-scripts.min.js?ver=1.2.6:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘style’ of null at scrollFunction (responsive-scripts.min.js?ver=1.2.6:1)

    I am using a child theme since my first install in 2012 and had no major problem with it.

    I have left my dev website home page link where you will be able to reproduce the errors.

    What am I doing wrong ?

    Edit:
    I see that the responsive-scripts.min.js script is trying to get an element on the page with the id=”scroll” and store it in ‘mybutton’ variable, but it fails to find it and so when it is latter trying to change the css display property with mybutton.style.display=”block” or mybutton.style.display=”none”, the script fails and the exception is raised.
    What is this element with “scroll” id ? And what is supposed to be ‘mybutton’ ? A scroll top button ?

    I will continue investigations while awaiting your lights !

    Thank you for your help.
    Kind regards.

    Can you please try by replacing the following line in your child themes footer.php with the new line

    old: <div id=”scroll” title=”Scroll to Top” style=”display: block;”>Top<span></span></div>

    new: <div id=”scroll” onclick=”topFunction()” title=”Scroll to Top” style=”display: block;”>Top<span></span></div>

    Hi ! Thanks for your reply,

    When you said “footer.php”, my two lazy brain sides reconnected…

    I’m so confused because I just realized that a long time ago I had the need to create a footer.php in my child theme to add a modification.

    I think I’ve been lazy during last updates and I simply didn’t update my footer.php for a while…

    I’m surprised that it did not happen sooner ! ;-P

    Thank you anyway for your help, very much appreciated,
    Best regards.

    Hello !

    My experience is quite good so far thank you !
    I never had the need to use the theme advanced functionalities and I never had to make huge modifications in my child theme to meet my requirements.
    I have only added some css tweaks to deal with dimensions, hiding elements (scroll to top button for example ?? ), moving the Log-In link on the right of the menu, adjust marring, padding, some colours and form inputs… That’s pretty much all I’ve done !
    For example, yesterday I realized that the theme code has evolve enough to get rid of my footer.php modifications in my child theme.

    Easy as it is ! For me anyway.
    I think the theme basis is strong enough to please most of WP users.

    It’s a good theme, you’ve made a good job here.
    I wish you to continue like this for many years to come !

    See you soon !
    Best Regards
