Some dropdown menus not working

Some dropdown menus not working

av Walter Buchanan -
Galle vástádusa: 17

Moodle v.3.5.3+ (Build: 20181128); Themes in use: Fordson and Clean (for mobile); HTML Editor/Plugin: Atto (2018051401)

Recently upgraded to above build and some drop downs on menu's are behaving oddly re: they don't work as in clicking the button (any of the top navbar navigation buttons as well as buttons within certain pages, for example, trying to Edit a student's submission, extend assignment submission deadline in a course, etc.) do not work. There is either no activity as in nothing happens (no drop downs appear) or the page just seems to refresh or jump to the top of the page). It happens for some but not all pages. We did a test migration first on our test server and all is well no problems.

I have checked the plugin and theme settings/versions and they are the same. I mention this because I read of a bug in Boost + Atto whereby drop down menu's were not displaying as they were unable to work with a '#" in the URL (which is the case for let's say our grading page where teachers need to click the "Edit" button to access a list of options - extend, lock, etc.) but the patch is over 2-years old and I don't think it's wise to apply as test server works fine. 

It seems the browser is not happy - error on page attached as image - and have tested on different browsers. Any ideas from anyone who has experienced something similar?

Abu Ali, you need open the css file in /yourdomain/theme/bootstrapbase/style/moodle.css:
find this line .jsenabled .moodle-actionmenu[data-enhance] .menu {
and comment this -> /* display: none;*/

I have the same (I think) issue in Moodle 3.8 (20191118), but do not have theme/bootstrapbase, and making a similar change in theme/boost/style/moodle.css does not work. Does anybody have a hint on where I need to look?

Sorry no solution but the same/similar problem! I have bootstrapbase/style/moodle.css but changing this line does nothing.

Even when switching to boost the problem persists. Deleting caches did not help.

I am not aware of the problem. Wonder whether this applies: Problem accessing dropdown such as personal profile since 3.8 (20191118) update

The link you have given is an exact description of my experience (yes, my profile menu is not working too).

But, according to the suggestion there, I am not able to identify a plugin, which could be the culprit. The Javascript file first.js is in directory lib. Is this related to some plugin?

After reading your link again I decided to uninstall mod_groupformation and the problem was gone.

I was able to fix my site's dropdown menus not working by purging cache, no need to uninstall any plugins

1. Go to Site Administration

2. Search "Purge cache"

3. Select Purges caches

4. Select Purges all caches

Wait a bit and done

I do not know how to replicate the issue, it just happened randomly
