WordPress 3.2 errors in admin: jQuery not defined

  • Hello,

    I have three websites based on WordPress on different hostings and the three of them are giving me the same error after upgrading to wordpress 3.2:

    When in admin (the front page works ok, the error is only in admin) I get these two errors:
    missing } after property list in load-scripts.php
    jQuery is not defined

    I have tried disabling the plugins, uploading again the admin folder and changing to Twenty Eleven theme, but no success.

    It’s very strange, but I have one of the three websites in local and it gives no error.

    The three hostings are ok for WordPress installation (PHP and MySQL versions)

    I would really appreciate your help, as I don’t know what else can I do.

  • I have exactly the same problem.

    Most interesting is that it worked fine until it stopped working without any visible reason.

    On other computer it still works fine. So it has to be an issue of my computer.

    The question is why? By the way… my error message is a little different:

    Fehler: missing } after property list
    Quelldatei: https://test.maklerbuero-schwartz.de/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=0&load=jquery,utils&ver=fb5c271ac01e8186b23ece33d5ce4961
    Line: 2, Coloumn: 7578

    The exact problem is in the wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js

    But I don’t understand it.

    OK… possible solution

    I downloaded the original jquery 1.6.1

    https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.1.js

    Then I replaced the code within the

    wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js

    with the original code and now everything is back to normality.

    Why ever?

    Thanks for that post sonsori, I think (fingers crossed) that this may have solved my issue.

    I’ve got such a sore head with banging it on the wall :-(.

    I was hopeful about replacing jquery, but sadly it hasn’t helped.

    I believe I’m dealing with a Windows server as well. I’m pursing the fix of “Install and enable JSON extension for PHP”, so we’ll see. Some searching says that might be part of the default install of PHP on a server, so I’m not sure what to expect!

    If anyone else has found a solution, please post!

    Poking around, this solution has worked for me!

    Add this to the config file:

    define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);

    As described here:

    It fixed most everything, but panels on my dashboard went crazy (panels like “incoming links” started displaying a repeat of my entire dashboard within that panel – you’d have to see it). Performance REALLY bogged down on that page until I was able to struggle through and disable everything from showing on the dashboard – I’m happy with the work around now.

    I pray this will fix itself in future updates to WordPress – the host for this install is a bit dooshie ??

    L8r!
