The Add Topic/Add Reply buttons aren't working throughout my forum on Chrome & Internet Explorer.

In Firefox, the Add Reply does work as expected. Add Topic works when clicked on. However, when hovering over Add Topic, the cursor is a text insertion cursor rather than a pointer finger cursor. The Pointer finger does appear over Add Reply in Firefox.

The cursor appearance is the same in Chrome (text over New/finger over Reply), but nothing happens when you click on either.

There is a JS error on my error console:

main.min.js?ver=4.0.3:1

Uncaught Error: `selector` option must be specified when initializing tooltip on the window.document object!c.init

@ main.min.js?ver=4.0.3:1c

There is also an error in my Simple Press Error Log:

October 3, 2016 8:13 am | spaErrNotice | 4 | php


file: /simple-press/sp-startup/forum/sp-forum-support-functions.php
line: 491
function: sp_wp_seo_hooks
Notice | Undefined index: wpseo_og

I suspect this is a conflict with my new Theme. However, the theme can't change. For what it's worth, this theme is the top seller on Theme Forest, so it can't be all bad.

At first, I wasn't able to use Add Repy/New Topic in any browser. Disabling the Return to Top function, as I saw in another post in this forum, restored that functionality to Firefox only.

I am running WP 4.6.1 and the current version of the theme.

Do you have other ideas for tweaks I can make that would fix this settings? I can contact the theme maker as well. However, I'm not sure what to ask them. If I simply say that there is a conflict with this plugin, they will send me back here.

Thank you!

well - there is your error:

main.min.js?ver=4.0.3:1

Uncaught Error: `selector` option must be specified when initializing tooltip on the window.document object!c.init

and that is coming from theme or another plugin and basically stopping the jQurey processing.

Curiously it mentions tooltips in the error so it might be a clash with the forum tooltips library. SP uses the jQuery UI tooltips library because that is supported by WordPress and is the only tooltips library that actually is. 

Try this. Open up the spFunctions.php file of the SP theme you are using. you can do this using the editor admin panel in the forum themes section. At the top is an option to turn off the forum tooltips. Set it to false - clear your browser cache and see if that helps.

And I do understand the position of Theme Forest in the WP world but that doesn't stop them from doing non standard or unsupported things. One of the worst plugins we have to sometimes deal with is JetPack  - and that comes form Automattic!

Lucky that was all it was. I do wish they would use the proper, supported libraries and API that WP makes available. Life would be so much easier for all plugin authors!
