I came across this error on the Divi Theme. This is how I got it fixed... It will probably work for you as well.

Divi/includes/builder/script/builder.js

Replace these lines (2 total)

if ( view['model']['attributes']['parent'] === parent_id )

With these lines

if ( view !== undefined && view['model']['attributes']['parent'] === parent_id )

And replace these 2 functions

getNumberOf : function( element_name, module_cid ) {
    var views = this.get( 'views' ),
        num = 0;

    _.each( views, function( view ) {
        var type = view['model']['attributes']['type'];

        if ( view['model']['attributes']['parent'] === module_cid && ( type === element_name || type === ( element_name + '_inner' ) ) )
            num++;
    } );

    return num;
},

getNumberOfModules : function( module_name ) {
    var views = this.get( 'views' ),
        num = 0;

    _.each( views, function( view ) {
        if ( view['model']['attributes']['type'] === module_name )
            num++;
    } );

    return num;
},

With these

getNumberOf : function( element_name, module_cid ) {
    var views = this.get( 'views' ),
        num = 0;

    _.each( views, function( view ) {
        if(view !== undefined){
            var type = view['model']['attributes']['type'];

            if ( view['model']['attributes']['parent'] === module_cid && ( type === element_name || type === ( element_name + '_inner' ) ) )
                num++;
        }
    } );

    return num;
},

getNumberOfModules : function( module_name ) {
    var views = this.get( 'views' ),
        num = 0;

    _.each( views, function( view ) {
        if(view !== undefined){
            if ( view['model']['attributes']['type'] === module_name )
                num++;
        }
    } );

return num;
},

Thank you so much! The only google results I could find were for the theme which is structured differently than the plugin, this works great! — Turner Houghton, Jan 25 '17 at 21:24
I would change `view !== undefined` to `typeof view !== 'undefined'` as this could still result in an error. — dardub, Jul 16 '18 at 20:14

Roy Toledo answer works quite well for me, but i've replaced code in:

Divi/et-pagebuilder/js/admin.js

Divi version: 2.3.2

WP version: 4.7.1

I had a similar problem with the Divi theme (2.6) and WP (4.5). Same error message. An upgrade of the theme to the latest (2.7.3) fixed it in my case. The latest version of the Extra theme is 1.3.4 - looks like you are on 1.2.4.4

I see.. The problem with me is that I don't have the updated version. :( – Lodel Apr 16 '16 at 04:21

for those that don't have a current ET subscription, in the spirit of Divi's GPL license, you can find a fix on [github for version 2.3.4](https://github.com/ajdruff/divi/releases) (the security patched version) that works with WordPress 4.5 – AndrewD Nov 03 '16 at 04:39
