Enable jQuery Migrate Helper

Description

With the update to WordPress 5.5, a migration tool known as jquery-migrate will no longer be enabled by default. This may lead to unexpected behaviors in some themes or plugins who run older code.

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.

Installation

  1. Upload to your plugins folder, usually wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin on the plugin screen.
  3. That’s it! The plugin handles the rest automatically for you.

FAQ

Absolutely fabulous plugin. Solved an issue that relied on an author to update his plugin. Couldn't wait any longer so decided to research the problem and it appeared that WordPress 5.5 stopped support for older JQuery libraries. I then found you wonderful plugin. Installed it and in less than a minute everything just worked as it should. I even blogged about your great plugin.

Submitted a support ticket with fabthemes twice since their slider no longer worked after upgrading to WordPress v5.5. Waited months but did not receive a single reply. Stumbled upon this plugin and 1 minute later the problems were solved!
