    Hi. I recently purchased a website using the genesis-sample theme. Audit reports are showing I have "broken javascript" on every page of the site. This link is coming up 404 on every page:
    /wp-content/themes/genesis-sample/js/search-bar.js

    There is a script called on every page to this javascript file, but I cannot find this file or even the 'js' folder anywhere on the server. I also noticed the script is deferred, if that makes a difference. There is no front-end issue and the search box works fine.

    I can handle html and css, but I'm at a loss when it comes to javascript and google searches have been futile.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    There is no js directory that comes with the Genesis Sample theme. So, a 404 response is correct for this theme. The question is, where is this link coming from? It could be coming from custom programming that someone attempted before you owned the site. I would look at functions.php or files that are loaded in functions.php for custom code. If that doesn't work, are there any custom plugins?

    If I were troubleshooting this, I would download the entire theme directory to my local environment and use the search tools on my Mac so I can see if that text string is anywhere in any theme file.

    Regards,
