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

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

Performs well! I discovered the mobile hamburger menu was broken on our site. This was a real site saver!

The drop-downs on my website were not showing up when hovering over a link in the header navigation, and this fixed the issue.
