WordPress Version 5.5 Broke Your Site?
Summary
WordPress version 5.5 released on the 11th of August 2020 and broke many sites, potentially including yours. The WordPress team of course predicted this outcome for many sites and have ahead of time created and released a plugin of their own to help sites by enabling a jQuery migration script which will enable the older version of jQuery and therefore resolve the compatibility issues with the themes and plugins on your site. The plugin is called Enable jQuery Migrate Helper and can be found on the official WordPress plugin marketplace here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/ WordPress do state however that the "This plugin serves as a temporary solution, enabling the migration script for your site to give your plugin and theme authors some more time to update, and test, their code". The only permanent fix for this is waiting for plugin and theme authors to release up to date versions and then for you to update them on your site as WordPress states. Or if your site is majorly broken and the jQuery Migrate Helper does not resolve your issues, backdate to a previous version of your site and wait for the plugin and theme updates to release.
