Name field is not saving

Hi @wpfiend,

MailChimp accepts the first name and last name as separate fields.

In order to have one field shown but actually populate the 2 fields for MailChimp we use some JavaScript to split the value of the shown field to get the separate first name and last name.

But I see JavaScript errors on your site, which means that JavaScript functionality gets broken for all JavaScript code that comes after the error.

The issue is that you have google site verification code inside of a <script> tag. It’s a <meta> tag so it should not be inside of <script>

I’m assuming you are using some plugin to insert code into header, so go there and make sure the <meta name="google-site-verification"...> is not wrapped inside of <script></script>

Hello.

Thanks for the response.

The Google Site Verification tag is not inside a script-tag.

I have included what we are trying to insert into the header:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="tnX7vyTXXXXXXXXXXvVpc" />
<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-FXXXXXXXXS3"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'G-FGXXXXXXXX3');
</script>
<script type="application/ld+json">

Hi @wpfiend

This is on line 171 of the source code of homepage:

<script><meta name="google-site-verification" content="..." /></script>

It’s just before the </head> closing tag.

The error from the developer console:

domain.com/:171 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'

Hello.

Thanks for checking.

I have done what you have mentioned above.

Will you please check and see if you see any more errors…??

Thanks again.

I now see a JS error for this plugin. Something about “jQuery not defined”.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi @wpfiend

Yeah, the JS error for the meta element inside of script is resolved now.

And for the issue with the jQuery not defined, the problem is that the JS file from the plugin is loaded before the JS file for jQuery library.

By default jQuery loads first, the <script> tag for it is located at the top, inside of <head> but in your case it’s loaded at the bottom, before the closing </body> tag.

Either the theme or some plugin you use moves it to the bottom but does not move all the JS files with it, which is a bit odd.

But we can resolve that from our side, we’ll force our JS file to load at the end. An update for the plugin will be released today.

Hi @wpfiend

An update has been released, version 1.3.0

Can you please update and check if the JS error (jQuery not defined) is gone and the name field values are passed correctly.

Hello @wpkube.

Yes, it is indeed working as it should, after I made the latest update.

Thank you for jumping on this so quickly.

All the best.

Hi @wpfiend

Great, happy to hear it worked out.

You’re welcome.

Thanks, all the best to you as well.
