The error is:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: a[href*=#]:not([href=#])

More info here, here, and a solution here

Can you reproduce this error and, if necessary, provide a fix?

This is a HTML only template and not compatible with wordpress in any way, if you are trying to install as a theme on wordpress that's why you get the error. For wordpresss you can only use a wordpress theme.

Of course I'm trying to adapt Canvas HTML templates to a custom wordpress theme.

The cause of the error is that wordpress latest version ships with jQuery v1.12.3 and Canvas uses v.1.11.3 and the following is a valid selector under 1.11.2:

$('.class a[href=#anchor]');

but it fails under 1.12.0 because requires the quotes:

$('.class a[href="#anchor"]');

See the bug

Of course I can do de-register the jquery file used by wordpress and enqueue the one that works with Canvas but I prefer the template author adapt the code to the latest version of jQuery.

Hello,

Please find the following code in the pageTransition: function() Function Block in the js/functions.js File: 

linkElement : '#primary-menu ul li a:not([target="_blank"]):not([href*=#]):not([data-lightbox])',

and replace it with: 

linkElement : '#primary-menu ul li a:not([target="_blank"]):not([href*="#"]):not([data-lightbox]):not([href^="mailto"]):not([href^="tel"]):not([href^="sms"]):not([href^="call"])',

This will definitely fix the issue. Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
