Sundance – Admin>Appearance>Theme Options: Unable to Click Section Tabs

[bddsf]

PHP 7.3.21, WP 5.5, Child theme, Firefox and Chrome (Win 10)

The Admin>Appearance>Theme Options page for the Sundance theme has a whole bunch of nav sections in it to supposedly be able to configure:

Ge

neral
Body
Overhead Section
Headline Section
Header
Main Section
and so on

Nothing on the left can be clicked to go to/access the settings in that theme option section.

The accordion (expand) and Save buttons on the General tab that you get to when you land on the page DO work, and settings in General can be saved, but NO OTHER theme options section tab can be clicked on.

I have tried clearing cache, reactivating the parent theme only, deactivating ALL plugins, deleting browser cache and force-refreshing the page and it still doesn’t work.
Attempted in Firefox and Chrome (Win 10)

This is not new – has been going on for at least a year.

Oh, and using Sundance Theme v. 2.07 (this problem also occurred in prior version, which as I recall was a 1.xx ?)

Have just downloaded and upgraded theme version to 2.18. Still having the same problem.

I do have the following Extra CSS:

#cycle-prev, #cycle-next {
top: auto !important;
bottom: 15px !important;
}

.single .single-easy-rooms #cycle-prev, .single .single-easy-rooms #cycle-next {
visibility: hidden !important;
}

h1, h2 {line-height:120% !important;}

.single-easy-rooms #cycle-prev, .single-easy-rooms #cycle-next {
visibility: hidden !important;
}

.single #cycle-prev, .single #cycle-next {
visibility: hidden !important;
}

img {
max-width:100%;
}

.room_slideshow_container {
overflow:hidden;
}
.room_slideshow_container img {
display:initial;
width:auto;
}

and I have some 7league customizations in child theme folder.

Hi,

I’m sure the most recent WordPress update is the problem, they remove the automatic jQuery migration support, this can cause this problem.

Can you please install this plugin (made by WordPress), it will add again the jQuery migration tool:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/

This will solve the problem.

[bddsf]

That DID solve the problem, thank you!

FYI, the Migrate Helper reports the following warnings:

jQuery Migrate Helper — Warnings encountered

This page generated the following warnings:

    https://www.YourWebSite.com/wp-content/themes/sundance/7league/script/admin.js:117:41: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated
    https://www.YourWebSite.com/wp-content/themes/sundance/7league/script/admin.js:137:26: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated

Please make sure you are using the latest version of all of your plugins, and your theme. If you are, you may want to ask the developers of the code mentioned in the warnings for an update.

[7Theme Support]

Thank you for the info. We know the warnings and doing already updates for the themes.

We Use Red Corner Theme. First had the same problem with menu and theme options.

Menu now works with the plugin, but theme options are still not clickable.

[7Theme Support]

Hi Alexandra,

what version of the theme do you use? Do you know what PHP version you use?

[Alexandra Langbein]

Stil 1.01 and PHP is 7.2.

What i have to say is many thanks for your very fast support and help in this case of error, founded by some other people.

[7Theme Support]

Hi Alexandra, you have to update the theme. The current version is 1.07, your version is not compatible with PHP 7.x, that’s why the theme options are not working. As soon as you update the theme all will work fine.
