    Hi there, i just bought the pro version of your plugin because I read your reply at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-date-field-and-firefox which says that the Pro version has a jQuery date picker which works cross browser – this is not the case.

    Can you please advise or provide a fix otherwise I would like to request a refund.

    the page I have added it to is http://dev.busyatwork.com.au/category/apprenticeships/ (sidebar)

    It also doesn’t work in Chrome – the free version actually did work in chrome, but not FF.
    this is no good to me if it cannot be fixed.

    Good Morning Nicole

    From your post(s) it comes over that you are sure that the issue lies with our plugin, and yet what you see is circumstantial. I like to take the support contact as an opportunity to add to the user’s knowledge of troubleshooting, so please bear with me.

    When a javascript element does not work, best to open the page in chrome, open the Inspector (Ctrl + Shift + I) and look at the console tab. In your case it says this:

    search-filter-build.min.js?ver=2.2.0:1 Uncaught TypeError: t.datepicker is not a function

    What this means is that the jQuery we use to load (in this case the datepicker) has been overwritten by another plugin, the theme, or some other code.

    What I then do is to open the page source (in Chrome this us Ctrl + U) and search (Ctrl + F) for jquery. Note that period at the end of jquery.

    Lines 48 and 49 have the standard WordPress loaded lines:

    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://dev.busyatwork.com.au/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://dev.busyatwork.com.au/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.1'></script>

    But, in lines 50-54 I see that a plugin called download manager loads some, and one of these is this (line 54):

    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://dev.busyatwork.com.au/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/js/chosen.jquery.min.js?ver=4.5.3'></script>

    But, on line 60, this from our plugin:

    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://dev.busyatwork.com.au/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/chosen.jquery.min.js?ver=2.2.0'></script>

    On line 410 is this:

    <script src="http://dev.busyatwork.com.au/wp-content/themes/busyatwork/bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>

    This is your theme also loading jQuery. Themes should not do this, but it appears to be. Not good practice.

    Line 413 your theme then loads this:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>

    Same issue. These were the files that WordPress used to load prior to WP4.5

    Then, from line 427 onwards, I see Contact Form 7 loading datepicker jquery files.

    A can of worms. How to resolve? To test, disable some plugins, and I am guessing that Contact Form 7 would be the first to try. Once we have narrowed down where the problem lies, then we can move forwards.
