I got a notice yesterday that some pages that I had submitted days before for index validation had been successfully fixed. So I submitted all the page errors for validation again. I am going to wait and see what happens with that before I do anything further. It could just be showing up as an error, but if the pages are indexed than all will be good. But there does seem to be issues as I know that pages that used to show up in google searches do not show up anymore. But I am going to wait and see if the resubmission fixes this. I will report back once I hear back on my submission which should be a few days. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I have deleted and resubmitted the sitemap. I am receiving the same error. It was resubmitted on Oct 17 and last read on Oct 17. I am getting the same error as before. I believe this is causing some additional issues where most of my pages are not indexed. Any further advice on what to try so that the sitemap can be read correctly. Thanks.

Sitemap can be read, but has errors

Empty Sitemap

Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap.

Thanks, I appreciate the update. I think this is causing an error in my wordpress error log, which I would greatly appreciate if it would stop so hopefully the next WP update will fix it.

Hello.

Just to report back…I have solved the issue. I had a minify plugin that was blocking the css file from running correctly. As usual with these things, user error. Just takes a while to find the cause. Thanks for the prompt reply and the help.

I tried replacing the file and this did not fix the problem. So I just want to confirm that if I delete the plugin and then reinstall it, I will not lose the tables that I have already created. Please confirm and then I will give that a try.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I did not do anything special to update the plugin. I went to the plugin page and selected update.

If I do a reinstall, won’t I lose the tables that I have created? I do not want to do this as it would take a lot of effort to recreate them.

Can I simply copy the default.css file over again as I do not think I have any custom css within this plugin? If this would work, where can I get a clean copy of that file?

Is there any way to troubleshoot in the files to determine which plug in is the culprit? I am hesitant to disable plugins b/c I have created significant problems on my site by doing this in the past.

Alternatively, if the site appears to be working correctly, based on the type of error that is being logged, is there any harm in ignoring this?

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to avoid a complete test of all plugins. I also think that this solution will not lead to being able to identify the offending plugin. As far as I can tell, the site is functioning properly. I only notice the error by looking at the error log. If I use this plug in such that the troubleshooting is only on the logged in user and all other users see the site normally, won’t the error log still show the same errors that it currently does since the core site is still functioning normally?

That looks like success. Thanks for the help. I know this was above and beyond support of your plug in so much appreciated. Is there anything that I need to be carefully in updating so that I do not lose what you did?

I have made the changes but it does not look like anything has changed.

Yes I will probably look into the Theme things when I have some time. If you know of any themes similar to this one that you are happy with, I am open to recommendations as I am not really sure where to begin a theme search since I hired someone to build this site initially and have been learning WordPress as I go after it was built.

I have tried that with same result.

When I began down this rabbit hole I found out that the Theme is no longer supported so I figured once you told about the Java conflict that it was theme related and that would be a dead end.

I have been reading up on switching themes but it sounds like a major issue where a lot will go wrong and I will need to reconstruct a lot of the site, so I am trying to patch as is, if possible.

It is now updated in functions.php as wellas with Data Tables Javascript enabled. You can see what I mean with the sub menus and table java script. But I do not know how to clear the cache of the site.

When I do that, the pagination and java functionality of the tables is lost. I can see the sub menus but am unable to click on them because they disappear when moving to them.

Within functions.php these are what I have been playing with

wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ );
wp_register_script( ‘jquery’, ‘https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js’, false, ‘1.7’, true);
wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’ );

I now seem to be in a catch 22 as I have learned how to modify the php files but…

-when I delete the wp deregister line the sorting and pagination hat I want from the plug in does not work even when the plug in is set up for it

– when I delete the register line, other jave functionality of the site no longer works, for instance a To Top button on each page

Additionally, while this fixes the sub menus appearing, the formatting is all messed up so that while I can see the sub menus, I can not click on them because they disappear before I can get to them.

So it appears solving the sub menu disappearing issue will simply create other issues.
