Javascript syntax error in version 7.0

Hi Christer,

Thanks for checking. Looking at the error I guess it is something specific to safari browser.

Can you please check once in Chrome and share your website URL where error is observed ?
I would like to see the issue live.

Thanks,
Aakash

Thanks for your very quick reply!

No problem in Chrome!

I did the update on my local development system (I always do that before doing updates to a production environment), which is not accessible from the outside. I don’t want to update the production environment now since a Javascript error will impact other things, but I can copy over to a staging server. Will take some 30 minutes. I’ll send you the URL when it’s done

This is the URL to the staging server:

https://aravis.chrilleferna.opalstacked.com

I have switched to the unminified version of wp-socializer.js so you can see on which line the problem shows up

Hi Aakash,
Any news on this? I quick Google search tells me that this problem is due to Safari not supporting lookbehind in javascript regular expressions. This means that even when/if Safari starts supporting lookbehind the code will break in older browsers, so better change the regex to one without lookbehind.

Hi @christer_f,

I’m working on the issue. I’ll provide a workaround (i.e a code change) which you can make. Once I’m done testing I’ll share it with you.

Thanks,

Hi @christer_f,

Please find the modified code below.
https://pastebin.com/bg8sFeey

Copy and paste it to wp-socializer/public/js/wp-socializer.js
Refresh browser/cdn cache if required.

This is not the the minified version. For now please continue with this. I’ll cover this issue as a part of the next release by next month mid.

Thanks,
Aakash
