Updating to WordPress 5.9 Breaks this Plugin

  • There is an issue with WordPress 5.9 that affects the dragging ability of this plugin.

    The WordPress 5.9 update replaces the jquery script (sortable.min.js) in wp-includes from version 1.12.1 to version 1.13 — this stops the drag/drop from working since you will get an undefined error in the console.

    If this is happening to you, and you don’t want to revert back, you can do this ‘hack’.

    Download an earlier version of sortable.min.js (either 1.12.1 or 1.11),
    https://blog.jqueryui.com/2016/09/jquery-ui-1-12-1/

    then replace the current (1.13 file) at \wp-includes\js\jquery\ui\sortable.min.js with 1.12

    I’m sure once this plug is updated to work with WP 5.9 you can then revert it back.

    In addition, WordPress Core is also working on a fix since it is affecting other functionality (such as photo gallery resorting)

    Hi,
    This should work fine, can you ensure you clear your browser cache then try again. The drag & drop functionality is still functional for the latest WordPress 5.9

    Thanks
