Today I started seeing the banner **Your site may not work because theme / component Guild AI DiscoTOC has errors** on [https://my.guild.ai](https://my.guild.ai)

The issue appears to be the use of `$.widget` here:

[https://github.com/guildai/DiscoTOC/blob/master/common/header.html#L64](https://github.com/guildai/DiscoTOC/blob/master/common/header.html#L64)

Has something in Discourse changed that would lead to this? What’s your advice to fix the problem?

Thanks!

Looks like your forked this component 2 years ago, so it went stale and incompatible with current Discourse.

You will need to either move to the official component, or rebase your fork.
