Tom

You’re more than welcome, I truly meant everything I said. And the way you support your theme deserves another 5 stars, IMO. Thank you!

Hi Randy,

Just saw your followup reply after sending my reply above. I went to that thread you linked to and saw that it seemed to be related to the Woo Commerce plugin. I had just installed it yesterday, but hadn’t activated it for any sites yet. So I tried deleting the plugin completely and low and behold, that WebSocket error message is no longer showing!

That is very strange being that the plugin wasn’t actually being used on any of my WordPress sites and was deactivated. And also odd that it only affected a few of my WordPress sites, not all of them. Weird!

So it looks like the mystery has been solved! Partially, at least. There must be some odd bug in Safari when Woo Commerce is being used.

Thanks!

Hi Randy,

The error shows up in the Web Inspector console within Safari. I click on the Develop menu in Safari then click on Show Error Console.

Yes, I emptied the cache and disabled extensions in Safari on both computers, but the error still appears. By reproduced, I mean that the error keeps happening every minute or so, as though whatever is causing the error keeps trying to connect to something.

Okay, so I used the Guest account on my iMac and when I went to the website, the error doesn’t appear! A different one does about JQMIGRATE, but, the WebSocket error isn’t there. So this must be something in my setup of Safari causing this when viewing some of my WordPress sites. I’ll have to do more digging to see if I can find out what it is.

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi Randy,

Oops, sorry about the extra e in that domain!

You are right, the error is not showing up in Mac Chrome or Mac Firefox when I checked it as well. It appears to be only showing up in Safari (9.1). I tried emptying the browser cache and restarting Safari, but the error persists only there. I’m running OS X El Capitan 10.11.14 on my MacBook and iMac (it shows up on both computers).

I tried disabling all Safari extensions, no difference. When I disabled Javascript in Safari, the error appears to disappear from the console. But then on another blog (https://blog.kultureshock.net) which is also hosted within the same WordPress installation as the ones I linked to above, the error appears only when I click into a blog post, not on the index page. Which is very odd!

So maybe this is just an issue with Safari and nothing to do with WordPress? I tried visiting a few other websites (with Javascript enabled) and could not see that same error in Safari, including the GeneratePress demo site, which is the template being used on that Kulture Shock blog. https://demo.generatepress.com.

It’s a complete mystery! It only appears on a few of my WordPress sites and only in Safari, but not always if Javascript is disabled. ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

Hi Ron,

Yes, it looks like the Dashboard is running under the mapped domain. When I tried the Preview feature on the primary domain for WordPress, it worked. But I’m not sure how I fix this for the other mapped domains. Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to set it up properly?

Thanks! I think I may finally be close to a solution for this which has been a problem for two years.
