The issue is quite old  but I ll put some small note as I spent couple of hours today investigating pretty same issue  After I loaded a part of code dynamically select2 couldn t work out on a new selectboxes with an error         select2 is not a function    I found that in non-packed select2 js there is a line preventing it to reprocess the main function  in my 3 5 4 version it is in line 45     if  window Select2     undefined        return       So I just commented it out there and started to use select2 js  instead of minified version       if  window Select2     undefined          return         And it started to work just fine  of course it now can do the processing several times loosing the performance  but I need it anyhow   Hope this helps  Vladimir

This error raises if your js files where you have bounded the select2 with select box is loading before select2 js files  Please make sure files should be in this order like     Jquery  select2 js your js

I was having this problem when I started using select2 with XCrud  I solved it by disabling XCrud from loading JQuery  it was it a second time  and loading it below the body tag  So make sure JQuery isn t getting loaded twice on your page

For me  select2 min js file worked instead of select2 full min js  I have manually define files which I have copied from dist folder that I got from github page  Also make sure that you have one jQuery document  ready      definition and jquery file imported before select2 file

For newbies like me  who end up on this question  This error also happens if you attempt to call  select2   on an element retrieved using pure javascript and not using jQuery   This fails with the  select2 is not a function  error   document getElementById  e9   select2      This works       e9   select2
