Don’t upgrade to WP 5.5, it will break Masterslider

Too late! Just upgraded…. hopefully they will fix it soon. Loading data when clicking on Master Slider to edit – is looping and not allowing me to edit or see the banner. Annoying….

The same issue as @bjornproductionsinc described. Can’t make any updates/edits to existing sliders even though the sliders are still displaying correctly on the front end. I hope a fix comes out soon!

FYI – I found a temporary solution on another thread and it worked for me:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/
After installing the plugin I’m able to edit my sliders again. Everything else is working as normal.

You might want to give it a try if you’re having issues with plugins after upgrading to WordPress 5.5.

Thank you @tom5940 – Looks like it works now with the installation of the JQuery Migrate Helper however this should be only a temporary solution as I’m getting Warning error message that the plugin is “deprecated”

Hope Master Slider finds a permanent solution soon.

@bjornproductionsinc – yep, it’s only a temporary fix that will allow plugin authors some time to get their updates out while keeping plugins working.

Cheers! – It’s hump day, right? ??

@tom5940 ?? – I guess so? Just trying to do my job here and keep everyone updated as per usual!

Thank you @tom5940 !!!
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/ did the trick!
This will be very helpful until it is fixed.

this doesn’t work for me ??
no idea why though…

Good to know that it’s not just me who has the problems. Thanks to the Updraft-backup, I was able to return to WP 5.4. Hopefully there will be an update to Masterslider soon!

This is the message i am getting as soon as i reactivate masterslider after installing ( Enable jQuery Migrate Helper )

jQuery Migrate Helper — Warnings encountered

This page generated the following warnings:

jQuery is not compatible with Quirks Mode

Please make sure you are using the latest version of all of your plugins, and your theme. If you are, you may want to ask the developers of the code mentioned in the warnings for an update.

Wow – I am glad I tested this all on a staging area first. Same issue here – “Axiom_Plugin_Updater::download_package” errors spilling over my WP backend screen. I will hold off updating to 5.5 in production until this gets resolved.

I’m not going to take credit for this, (I don’t even know if it works, haven’t tried it myself) but someone posted this solution on the Envato page:
————————————————————
To whom having issues with WordPress 5.5;

I don’t know if this is the proper way/solution but worked for me, if you are having issues with WordPress 5.5;

1 – To fix Updater issue, masterslider/admin/includes/classes/class-axiom-plugin-updater.php line 264

public function download_package( $package, $check_signatures = false ) {

replace with

public function download_package( $package, $check_signatures = false, $hook_extra = array() ) {

2 – Probably your editor is not going to work too, search in all files for;

wp_localize_script( ‘jquery’

in masteslider directory then replace it with;

wp_localize_script( ‘common’

———————————————-

Update: I’ve incorporated the changes from the Envato post on my staging site and they work! I zipped the plugin and uploaded it for anyone to download, find the link here: https://easyupload.io/742h5u

To install all you have to do is unzip, rename the old masterslider plugin folder, and upload the one provided, make sure that once it’s uploaded you rename the folder from modified_masterslider to just masterslider.

I make no guarantees regarding the fix, and I’m just providing the file as a convenience, the link will expire in 10 days.

@ilichzuniga that works for me as well — thanks so much for doing the legwork. The error messages were showing on the Dashboard, but the sliders were still working fine — but it’s nice to now have the Dashboard no longer showing those 2 verbose error messages. ?? Thanks again! Sure beats buying 12 months worth of Support at Envato….

its throwing a lot of requests for ‘connection information’ as if it were trying to run an update. even with the fix on

public function download_package( $package, $check_signatures = false, $hook_extra = array() ) {
