Compatibility with WordPress is at the center of every theme and plugin developer’s mandate, and here at ThemeFusion, this is no different. We consistently advocate via social media and our support channels for all Avada users to ensure that their theme and plugins are kept up to date at all times.
WordPress 5.6 And Important Changes
The release of WordPress 5.6 on the 8th of December, 2020, will be shipped with significant WordPress roadmap changes and, in particular, the next step in their teams breaking change update for the included jQuery library.
This November, Marius Jensen announced the change on the Make Core blog. The following jQuery-related libraries will ship in the WordPress 5.6 update (WordPress Trac ticket):
- jQuery 3.5.1
- jQuery Migrate 3.3.2
- jQuery UI 1.12.1
As this is a major upgrade to the jQuery library within WordPress, it will be imperative that anyone who is not running the latest version of the Avada theme to update to version 7.1.2 (as of the writing of this post) and plugins accordingly. The detailed theme update instructions are provided below:
