Animated Countdown Not Functioning

working but showing 53 weeks later as if we were in 2015

Hello,

My countdown is not working either. Has this been fixed?

I have updated the theme but still having trouble getting the countdown to show. The date format is 12 / 12 / 2016. The elements are there but all set to 0. I am getting this JavaScript error in jquery.js (not sure if it’s related to the countdown or not):

Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: .av-countdown-function forEach() {
[native code]
} .av-countdown-time

Can anyone help?

Hi,

We have the same or a similar problem with our site.
The error is:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: .av-countdown-function each(iterator, context) {
    try {
      this._each(iterator, context);
    } catch (e) {
      if (e != $break) throw e;
    }
    return this;
  } .av-countdown-time

Our developers tracked this to be a conflict with the Prototype JavaScript framework that is also loading on the site.
The suggestion is to use the hasOwnProperty() in the for (var i in _units) loop to avoid iterating over the custom __proto__ items as described here:

We fixed this locally. Let’s hope it will be still working after the next theme update :)
Thank you!
