WP 5.5 Update Causes Galleries to not load
-
Quite a lot of people are having issues with their galleries after updating to WP 5.5 or 5.5.1
If you notice that your site has javascript errors in the DevTools console, then it is likely that the WP 5.5 update has caused the problem, and not necessarily FooGallery. IF there are javascript errors on the page, then FooGallery is blocked from running because of these errors.
We wish this did not happen, but this is unfortunately how jQuery works under the hood.
WP 5.5 included a major update to jQuery which a lot of plugins/themes use. More info : https://wptavern.com/major-jquery-changes-on-the-way-for-wordpress-5-5-and-beyond
Things you can try immediately to resolve the issue : goto FooGallery Settings -> Advanced Tab and enable “Custom Ready Event”, then Save Settings. This setting gets around jQuery ready errors caused by other plugins/themes.
Alternatively, you can also install the “Enable jQuery Migrate Helper” plugin to https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/

Here is a simple solution: https://support.yithemes.com/hc/en-us/articles/218754127-WordPress-4-5-Uncaught-Error-Syntax-error-unrecognized-expression-a-href-not-href-
Just a few lines in functions.php. The solution describes the problem for WP4.5, but in my case it works for WP5.5 too…
