MinQueue not working – Uncaught TypeError

Hi.

This sounds like a bug. Where are you seeing this error – in the admin? Also does chrome give you a line number where this error occurred?

Can you also check that you are not loading a custom version of jquery in the admin as this may cause problems.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of the problem.

Hi Matthews,

First, thanks for taking the time to answer me. No, I’m on the front-end of the site. On the software side:
wordpress’ default jquery 1.10.2 loaded
wordpress 3.7.1
and a bunch of plugins.

The full log in inspector is:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method ‘appendChild’ of null (index):472
MinQueue.insertButton (index):472
MinQueue.init (index):485
(anonymous function) (index):493

I can see minqueue scripts in those lines but nothing else happens. I mean I enabled the minification of styles putting in the handlers “style, formidablepro” to see the plugin in action. So far all I get is the error above.
I also tried installing the plugin on the live site (server config different from MAMP) with the same results.

Hi,

Are you disabling the admin bar on the front end of the site? This is required to use the helper tool – although the actual minification proccess will work fine.

However it shouldn’t cause a JS error. I have made a fix if you get the latest version from github.

Now I don’t see the error, but no minification yet.
Maybe I’m the one to blame. The way I’m entering the style handles maybe wrong.
I’m entering “style, formidablepro” in the Style minification queue(s) form. Is it right?
I also tried entering “jquery, utilities (a custom script)” in the Script minification queue(s) and it works (scripts only)! A file named ?minqueue-349ff3a7-cb2d6813.js is called. However jquery.js is being loaded separately. Shouldn’t it disappear since it’s included in the minified version?
As for the styles, do I have to enter style names in another way to make it work?

The names are just the handles that were used when enqueuing the scripts.

RE JQuery – if you are adding the handle to the list of scripts, it should be processed. Note that the handle used by jquery that is bundled with WordPress is jquery-core – it also loads jquery-migrate. I usually minify both.

Check the generated file – the handles for scripts that are enqueued in it are displayed at the top of the file in a comment. Is jQuery added here?

Also confirm that there isn’t 2 copies of jQuery being loaded. Sometimes plugins do not always load it correctly.
