DataTable is not a function

NOTE: I’ve replaced the version of jquery from 1.8.1 to 1.12.4.

Hi,

please remove this function call from your “functions.php” altogether. We need to use the jQuery version that ships with WordPress.
Even though things don’t work yet after that, it’s the only possible starting point. I assume that after removing the function, we will see other JS errors that we can then fix.

Hi Tobias,

Wordpress comes with jQuery 1.12.4 by default. This is what I’ve added.

Thanks!

Hi,

that’s correct, but the WordPress version ships with a very subtle change (jQuery.noConflict();), which we need here.
If you want me to help you, please trust me and try what I suggest.

OK, I’ve removed the code then re-added the original one.

function reassign_jQuery() {
     wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
     wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-core' ); // do not forget this
     wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-migrate' ); // do not forget this

     wp_register_script('jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js', array(), '1.12.4', TRUE );
     wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
if ( ! is_admin() )
    add_action('init', 'reassign_jQuery');

This is the error I get:

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).dataTable is not a function
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> ((index):27)
    at i (jquery.min.js:2)
    at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (jquery.min.js:2)
    at Function.ready (jquery.min.js:2)
    at HTMLDocument.K (jquery.min.js:2)

Hi,

please remove any of this code. We don’t want to override jQuery with anything. We want to use the version that comes with WordPress, which will happen if there is no such code in the functions.php. Thanks!

LOL. It’s working!

The conclusion: the theme’s code was not right.

Thank you very much Tobias!
