This plugin updates jQuery to the latest official stable version, which is most likely not available within the latest stable release of WordPress.
jQuery Migrate is also included for backwards compatibility.
No files are replaced, therefore deactivation of this plugin returns your site to it`s original state.
Since WordPress 5.6 includes an up-to-date version of jQuery 3, upgrading shouldn’t`t be necessary in most cases.
Warning
If you are not familiar with beta testing, bugfixing, javascript or running bleeding edge software it`s not recommended.
I will not provide help on JavaScript and jQuery, only on plugin related issues (PHP)!
Reporting problems
Please post bug reports and request for help on WordPress.org Support Forums.
If you run into any bugs, turning this plugin off will fully deactivate everything.
Work in Progress
For more information on the development visit the plugins GitHub
jquery-updater/ to the /wp-content/plugins/ directoryQ: Do I need this plugin if I`m running the latest version of WordPress on my site?
A: No
Q: This plugin breaks my site! How do I fix it?
A: Using an up-to-date jQuery could break your site on the client-side.
As requested on the wordpress.org support forms:
* Added jQuery (update) to the login screen
* Improved queuing
jQuery 2.0 has the same API as jQuery 1.9, but does not support Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8. All the notes in the jQuery 1.9 Upgrade Guide apply here as well. Since IE 6/7/8 are still relatively common, we recommend using the 1.x version unless you are certain no IE 6/7/8 users are visiting the site.
