[SOLVED] Getting many JQuery errors in Module config screen and Dashboard of Admin Panel.

[9smiths]

Hi, in the console section of my browser (Ctrl+Shift+J) I'm getting a bunch of JQuery errors in my admin panel, on the Module configuration screens and on the main Dashboard. And the screens with these errors don't work correctly, most of the module configuration screens are unresponsive so I can't make any changes, and the Dashboard screen is empty and shows no information.

It started when I troubleshot my website outtage on Black Friday, which I ended up fixing by updating all my modules after contacting Hostgator several times and they claimed to fix things in different ways such as "clearing applications" or "optimizing the server" and at one point vaguely stating it was "permanently fixed." But I suspect that whatever caused the outtage to begin with is the cause of these errors.

I have prestashop version 8.1.6

Hostgator is my host provider

Php version is 8.3

Here are all the console errors:

Here's what I tried to isolate or fix the issue:

- Renamed all but one module folder (blocktopdropdownmenu) via FTP to effectively disable them, the Dashboard and remaining module still had the errors.

- Renamed the blocktopdropdownmenu module folder by itself, all other modules and dashboard still recieve the errors.

- Cleared Cache

- Disabled cache settings

- Changed my HostGator PHP settings (memory_limit to 512M) (max_execution_time to 300 seconds)

- Renamed the override folder and cleared cache before testing

- Manually delete var/cache folder several times

- Manually checked various header files in my themes folder for empty white spaces before the php tag

- Change Php version of site from 8.3 to 8.2 and 8.1

I may be missing things I've tried but they've all been along the same vain of what I listed, any help would be greatly appreciated because as you can see I am swamped with this issue.

 

Solved: downloaded a fresh copy of prestashop 8.1.6 and replaced the Jquery file in js/jquery/jquery-3.5.1.min.js
