[Resolved] Offside Slider – Chrome Console Error

[Michael Largue]

Hi Tom/David

When I have an offside slideout open on the screen, I get the following Chrome console error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘firstChild’ of null
at Object.afterOpen (offside.min.js?ver=1.7.2:1)
at v (offside.min.js?ver=1.7.2:1)
at g (offside.min.js?ver=1.7.2:1)
at HTMLLIElement.p (offside.min.js?ver=1.7.2:1)

Please note that I am using a local NGINX environment prior to deployment.

Any ideas?

Regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

Is the slideout navigation currently empty?

Make sure you have a menu assigned to it or a widget added in there.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi Leo

I am currently using the slideout as a widget panel (FacetWP filter shortcodes in a Text widget) for specific pages. The error occurs on both populated and unpopulated slideouts. I am also using Custom Sidebars.

Hmm I think you are right. Seems to happen unless there is a menu assigned to it.

We’ll take a closer look 🙂

Thanks!

Yep, that’s no good. Thanks for reporting this! We’ll get it fixed in GPP 1.7.3.

[Michael Largue]

Thanks for that. I will wait for the update.

[Tom]

Have this fixed in 1.7.3.

To fix it right now, open wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/menu-plus/js/offside.min.js and replace the contents of it with this: https://pastebin.com/ENzMz6ub

Thanks for reporting this! 🙂

Thanks Tom

[Tom]

No problem! Let me know if it works or not 🙂

[Michael Largue]

Yep, it resolved the Chrome issue.

[Tom]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know 🙂

I just released 1.7.3-beta.1 with this fix: https://generatepress.com/gp-premium-1-7-3/
