This can be caused by Delay JavaScript execution being enabled in WP Rocket.
Resolve error in WP Rocket
Add the following to Defer JavaScript to exclude the files from Delay JavaScript execution.
\/jquery(-migrate)?-?([0-9.]+)?(.min|.slim|.slim.min)?.js(\?(.*))?( |'|"|>|$)
Resolving Issues with File Optimisation - CSS
If the dropdown is not working and you see no console errors then this might be an issue with minify CSS in WP Rocket.
Load the page with WP Rocket off. Inspect the dropdown and copy the class name.
E.g. “awsm-filter-item”
Go to Sources and compare with and without WP Rocket using ?nowprocket
Search for the class e.g. “awsm-filter-item” you will notice that some CSS files are missing.
E.g. /wp-content/plugins/wp-job-openings/assets/css/style.min.css
Exclude these from Optimise CSS in WP Rocket by adding the following:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-openings/(.*).css
Saving and reloading the page the dropdowns now work again.
