I've been working on a new project with wordpress. However, I start noticing that some features on the back office (like slide down menus and widgets) weren't working. So I fired up debugging console of my browser and found that there is an intermittent issue:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL load-scripts.php:1 load-scripts.php?c=1&load%5B%5D=jquery,utils,json2&ver=xyz other times...

to be frank: I had issues

Uncaught-syntaxerror-unexpected-token-illegal

was not able to do configurations of the widgets in wp 3.9 was not able to access the set-options page was not able to switch the accessible mode

btw .- see the page - a non profit page: it is BETA-BETA

btw - the magic_quotes_gpc, magic_quotes_runtime, are not set off do you think that this may help.

WHAT I WAS INVESTIGATIN SO FAR:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL load-scripts.php:1

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined load-scripts.php:2

(anonymous function)

Similar issues found in different browsers: Chrome, Safari and Firefox. Next step was googling for some answers and found a reference for javascript diagnose here. When I enable SCRIPT_DEBUG, the error stops, and everything runs smoothly again.

At this moment I don't have some plugin nor theme installed and been running in localhost.

Couldn't find yet a solution. Any ideas?

It looks to me like you're trying to utilize jQuery in custom code, but haven't actually enqueue'd the jQuery script - This line gives it away (I think?):

ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

if you are using wp_enqueue_script to bring in a custom .js file, make sure you set jquery as a dependancy

wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/myfile.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
