vincentH-30	Background of the issue: I’m trying to use WPML CMS on my site, hidden link, but when I activate the WPML CMS plugin, my submenus stop working, and I see errors in the browser console when I press F12. These issues do not occur when WPML CMS is deactivated. I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by delaying the script execution using jQuery(window).on('load', ...) and by using the wpml_loaded hook, but the issue persists. Symptoms: Uncaught ReferenceError: index is not defined at menu-overflow.js:10:1268 at HTMLUListElement. (menu-overflow.js:10:1278) at Function.each (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:3129) at e..each (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:1594) at $.fn.swMenu (menu-overflow.js:10:40) at menu-overflow.js:12:31 at menu-overflow.js:15:3 Questions: How can I resolve the conflict between WPML CMS and my custom JavaScript menu script? Is there a specific way to load scripts when using WPML to avoid such conflicts?

Dražen Duvnjak Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello, thanks for contacting us. As I can see from the error it says: index is not defined at menu-overflow.js, probably should be checked and code corrected. From the WPML side, we can not debug or write custom code, but we can help with any suggestion or question you may have. Otherwise, if you need further help with custom code, I suggest hiring a developer / WPML contractor: https://wpml.org/contractors/ Regards, Drazen
