Enroll in our monthly security plan to avoid breaking your website
Did you have some issues loading your website, or one of your bookmarked favorites in the past month? A recent update to WordPress (a popular web publishing provider) has caused some problems for many of its users.
When WordPress put out the latest major update version 5.5, they removed some code libraries including jQuery Migrate, a tool that WordPress has used for years. This library has helped outdated themes and plugins work with the many updates WordPress puts out each year. Getting rid of this library specifically caused outdated themes and plugins across the internet to stop working; breaking parts of many WordPress sites that have updated to the latest major version of version 5.5.
jQuery Migrate is a javascript library specifically developed to preserve deprecated jQuery libraries. It works with the latest version of jQuery, a javascript library to help developers develop lightweight JavaScript code. For WordPress developers to upgrade the latest jQuery libraries–and stay updated–they need to remove jQuery Migrate to force plugin. Theme developers need to to upgrade their code base to be compatible with the latest libraries and not use deprecated code.
