WordPress 5.5 incompatibility

  • The plugin has not been updated for a verry long time but was still working. Now with WordPress 5.5 the plugin causes jquery errors because jquery migrate has been removed but the plugin still uses the live() function which does not exist anymore since jquery 1.9.

    Those errors stop wordpress from executing any supsequent jquery call. This leads to various side effects, e.g. an accordeon not opening anymore because the jquery script gets not executed anymore. So if you use Advanced Categorie Widget version 1.2 in conjunction with WordPress 5.5 and you experience strange effects that can be tracked down to jquery you have to disable this plugin.

  • Thank you so much for taking the trouble to post about this. We have just spent half a day pursuing the issues it caused (non-functioning widget editor page). Disabling the plugin fixed that. WP Categories Plugin offers some of the same functionality.
