Widgets break in the latest version!

Just a heads up that the sidebar widget is working okay on my site in the latest version 5.3.4.

I purged LiteSpeed Cache in case that made a difference, but it’s working fine on Firefox, Chrome, Edge and also Android.

Hi cheryanne,

Probably there is a problem with the character code.
English is displayed correctly, but the screen is broken in Japanese and other languages.

Same issue, after upgrade to latest version, my site break

I reverted to the old version (v5.3.2) and everything is fine.

Hi @senribb,

I have a similar issue since the update.

When you say you restored the previous version, do you mean you restored a whole backup copy of your site before the plugin updated?

I ask because in my case I’d rather not do this, if only the plugin itself could be reverted to the previous version. I am curious as to whether this is possible?

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi @vutruso,

Excellent! May I ask how did you manage to revert to the old version?

p.s – I’m a bit of a noob ??

Thanks in advance,

Tim

@timmy321 Great!

Hi everyone,

Please update to version 5.3.5, it should fix the character encoding issue some of you are seeing now.

Thank you very much, Hector.

Certainly the update to version 5.3.5 fixed the issue.

Thank you for your prompt response!

You can also insert the plug-in WP Rollback and roll back.
