Since updating to v3.6, menu widget broken

  • Hello.

    My website has been working properly up until I upgraded to version 3.6 of WordPress. I have already disabled all plugins, cleared caches, tried various browsers, and nothing is fixing the issue.

    I visited this page already, but no luck.

    If you visit my website, you’ll notice that the lower-left footer widget is a collapsable quick navigation menu – however, upon page load, it begins fully expanded and “slow” collapses eventually. But it’s really dragging down the website and besides it doesn’t look very smooth either. ??

    So, I’m assuming it’s a jQuery/JavaScript conflict or something – but since it didn’t occur prior to the 3.6 upgrade, I thought maybe there was something that I was missing.

    GTmetrix (https://bit.ly/13fzEt7) shows my website of having an “A” score, so it’s “fast” but as I said, the menu widget is incredibly slow to collapse on page load and it looks cheesy now. ??

    Could someone please take a look and see if they can help find the fix for my page? Thank you kindly.

    (try refreshing the page a few times as you look at the footer widget menu)

    Yup, I just finished reading that ?? Thank you!

    I can confirm that the error in the widget remains.

    (by the way, I love your avatar!!)

    I just created a brief video, showing the issue of the slow loading/collapsing menu:

    Thank you for watching and trying to help.
    The video shows me (off screen) hitting refresh a few times: see how slow that accordion collapses? That never happened prior to v3.6 of WordPress.

    Can someone just check to see if my jQuery/JavaScript isn’t conflicting and that’s why this is happening? ??

    You’ll need to deactivate ALL plugins and switch to the twentytwelve theme to start troubleshooting. I don’t see that on your site.

    I’ve since reverted so my visitors would not be alarmed by a drastic theme change.
    As per my first post, I did attempt that but sadly, not successful. ??

    I believe it’s a conflict somewhere but I can’t locate it.
    Perhaps it’s a theme issue.
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, there’s no quick/easy way to find out the conflict

    First, be sure you’ve cleared any caching on your site and browser.

    Then, again, you’ll have to again deactivate ALL plugins and switch to twentytwelve. Check it.

    If that does not work, rename the plugins folder using FTP. Test again.

    I’ve cleared:
    DNS, CloudFlare, cookies, all plugin caches, browser caches, CCleaner’d the PC, and deactivated all plugins.

    Hmm…what do you mean by renaming the folder? Like, rename the plugins to Plugins_old? or…

    Thanks!

    rename the plugins to Plugins_old? or…

    Yes, and while they are off, test on twentytwelve.

    Ok.

    I noticed that there is a call to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, which takes 4-5 seconds to respond, and that (I think) is causing the pause in the loading.

    I can see that the data contains action:slimtrack_js which implies the SlimStat Plugin. But I cleared caches and even disabled all plugs (including SlimStat) so…I’m confused.

    Hmm…thank you for the idea yogi, I’ll report my findings on that renaming! ??

    You can look at/ask on the slimstat plugin forum if that seems related –

    True, but I don’t understand how disabling all plugins (including SlimStat) would still allow SlimStat’s code/Ajax etc. to continue to run, and continue to slow down my site? Even after caches and stuff were cleared.

    How is this possible? I’m not understanding.

    Have you renamed the plugins folder? Sometimes deactivating the normal way doesn’t fully deactivate them. And change themes. Until you have done that, there’s really no point in doing anything else.
