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

What does it mean that something is “deprecated”

A script, a file, or some other piece of code is deprecated when its developers are in the process of replacing it with more modern code or removing it entirely.

How do I find and use the browser console

WordPress.org has an article about using the browsers console log to diagnose JavaScript errors.

This plugin saves the life of my theme and gives me time to add a fix for it.

This plug-in indeed helps a lot in finding themes or plugins that have not (fully) updated to the new requirements regarding jQuery since WP 5.5. However, for the non-technical user the warning messages this plug-in produces are probably abacadabra. That's not this plugin's fault, but ultimately of course the affected themes/plug-ins authors fault. Having said that, I think WP should have issued a stern and not to overlook WARNING before someone attempted to update to 5.5. Just my 2 cents...

Absolutely ridiculous that WP 5.5 breaks so many plugins / functions, so thank you for saving the day.
