Appointed Time Press

Hello,

Thank you for so kindly offering to help. I really appreciate it. However, I have already chosen to do business another company.

I wish you the best!

Thank you!

Once I updated WP Bakery, it worked fine with WordPress 5.5.

Same issue here. And many other plugins are not working as well. By the way, Jetpack has disappeared from our dashboard altogether for unknown reasons as well. We’ve done a backup and restore of WordPress 5.4.2 and have initiated maintenance mode until fixes are released. We’re being very cautious in moving forward with this release. And we’re working with third-parties on every end — all of whom are overwhelmed with correspondence on these issues and how to fix them.

Initially, we did an automatic update of WordPress 5.5 along with plugins and themes and it completely broke our site. Totally dysfunctional. No photos were loading. Plugins were broken. Our theme was completely broken. After intensive investigation on all sides, we had a laundry list of issues that were literally of catastrophic proportion. It was a mess. The problems actually went very deep — precisely because this is a CORE release.

I trust this will be worked out, but it may take some time. Until then, we’re staying with WordPress 5.4.2 and playing it safe.

After doing intensive research today, it appears the global community is suffering and screaming for answers. And be prepared in the days ahead when browsing. A lot of websites are going to be either poorly functioning or have limited access. And website owners are going to have to support each other in this endeavor. This kind of dysfunction is ultimately going to cost people in the end, which is very sad. A lot of losses ahead for many until this is sorted.

This is indeed the worst and most catastrophic update we’ve ever experienced in the history of our company. We hope it’s fixed soon.

We trust WordPress is on top of this and will release fixes. But… It’s official: The poo has hit the fan.
