Unused/Empty Script causes jQuery is not defined Error

Console JavaScript error on pages prevent other scripts and functionality from working. This code is inserted into all pages with an empty jQuery function and throws a “jQuery is not defined” error.

<script>
                const abmsg = "We noticed an ad blocker. Consider whitelisting us to support the site ❤️";
                const abmsgd = "download";
                const iswpdmpropage = 0;
                jQuery(function($){

                    
                });
            </script>

Your plugin injects the provided <script> code in the footer on all pages of the website even if Downloads exist on that page or not. Why output this code at all?

But, the primary issue is it throws a Console error “Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined” which breaks other elements on the page. This happens if jQuery is loaded after your script injection instead of within the head.
