Hi there,
I’m having issues on a site I developed (http://newmediaresearch.educ.monash.edu.au/lnm/ ).
The front page is a static page, with a ‘widgetised sidebar’ and have included the raw html from twitter to display a twitter feed. Hopefully* you’ll be seeing the same thing I am; which is nothing.
When debugging, all I get in the console is “Uncaught Error: widgetId is a required parameter”
However, when you go to a page that’s “automated” (that is, it’s a menu link, listing only specific post categories) it works fine — http://newmediaresearch.educ.monash.edu.au/lnm/category/news-item/
Predictably, in the debug console there is no error on pages that it works.
I’ve tried clearing the cache — I’m using w3 TotalCache; But that doesn’t seem to fix it.
Any thoughts?
*I’ve had this happen once before, and it seemed to ‘magically’ fix itself, but I wasn’t sure why.
Might be issue with the plugin you’re using and twitter being overloaded/unreachable ?
I have disabled the plugin and it does not resolve the issue.
Any other thoughts?
Try the Twitter code in widget in the default theme… maybe the code you’re using is bad ? Or has un-escaped element when placed inside a text widget.
I understand what you’re saying.
But it is the themes default sidebar. It works on all the pages that are generated dynamically via categories. The code on those pages is the same.
Further, this does work. It just seems to stop working at really odd times (so far as I’ve been able to establish, it seems that it could be related to the update of the static home or about page).
Wait for tagdiv support …
typically if something “randomly” stops working, it’s not a theme issue as the theme doesn’t auto-magically change stuff — so, that usually means the code you’re using from Twitter is timing out, or unable to connect, or some other error.
Put another way – if there is no error on the page without the code, but adding the code causes error, generally means error with code, or conflict with some java or CSS being loaded by the code.
I’m sure you already know that — just commenting.
But if you posted link to example, I’m sure tagdiv folk will take a peek come Monday if you don’t solve by then. 🙂
Sorry no super duper awesome answer for this one!
Sorry, I’m down under and forgot about time / day differences 🙂
Thank you for your kind suggestion and input; the only issue is that looking back on email logs – it was when I did a theme update that it broke; so it seems weird that it somehow isn’t theme related.
And I agree that it’s likely some kind of conflict — somewhere. But I’ve not been able to track it down. Given that both the About and Home pages are static wordpress ‘pages’ and the rest are dynamically generated based on categories – I suspect that there’s something within that. Further, the About page has very little apart from text, so what could be stopping the twitter feed from working there? o.O
I’ll await official support response 🙂 Thank you again.
Hi equima,
This console error refers to your twitter widget: http://screencast.com/t/Wgn2epWUzj0 – http://screencast.com/t/oG5nMMnF I’m not sure how that error show’s just on homepage but I suggest you try to use a wp text widget for your custom code and the widgetised sidebar VC elements to place it on your homepage then test this again.
Let us know how it goes and if this persists address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this.
Thanks
Hi all,
Just an update, I found that in my case the plugin ‘print post and pages’ (https://wordpress.org/plugins/print-post-and-page/) is what was causing the issue.
Not sure if it’s because it’s not confirmed to work with the latest wordpress, or it is in fact causing issues with another plugin; but if anyone else has this problem – check to see if that plugin is installed.
Thanks again!
