Uncaught TypeError: $template.get is not a function

Question

I am getting this error in WordPress when I am using a plugin called WpBakery Visual Composer.

I am using the latest version of WordPress (4.5), using the latest Go

Answer 1

Please see my answer here.

I fixed this bug by updating the html2element function to:

html2element: function(html) {
        var $template, attributes = {},
            template = html;
        $template = $(template(this.model.toJSON()).trim()), _.each($template.get(0).attributes, function(attr) {
            attributes[attr.name] = attr.value
        }), this.$el.attr(attributes).html($template.html()), this.setContent(), this.renderContent()
    },

in /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/js/backend/composer-view.js

or in wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/js/dist/backend.min.js`

Hope this works for you!

Answer 2

Someone posted on the WordPress forums this solution which worked for me.

Replace the html2element function in /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/js/backend/composer-view.js with the following.

html2element: function(html) {
            var $template, attributes = {},
                template = html;
            $template = $(template(this.model.toJSON()).trim()), _.each($template.get(0).attributes, function(attr) {
                attributes[attr.name] = attr.value
            }), this.$el.attr(attributes).html($template.html()), this.setContent(), this.renderContent()
        },

Edit: I had to make this replacement a second time under different circumstances, and it didn't start working until I disabled and then reenabled both the Visual Composer plugin and the Ultimate Visual Composer add-on.
