Slider Revolution update?

Posted in: Newspaper

I am running WP 5.5, tagDiv Newspaper Version: 10.3.6.1 and Slider Revolution 6.2.17
Upon opening Slider Revolution I see this message:

WordPress 5.5 Important Info
If you updated to WP 5.5, please DON’T SAVE and projects in Slider Revolution or Essential Grid until updating to versions 6.2.18 and 3.0.0 respectively.

Problems observed in Slider Revolution:

1. When clicking the Navigation Options tab, all content on slide disappears. (Content reappears when exiting Navigation Options.)

2. Navigation elements (e.g. Arrows/Bullets) are not functioning. When enabled, there is no list of styles to choose from, nor do any arrows, bullets, etc display at runtime. I am unable to enable more than one at the same time (e.g. arrows AND bullets). When slider is closed and reopened, all settings have been reset to their default: OFF.

3. Device customization (Desktop/Notebook/Tablet/Mobile) is not functioning. Unable to enter any view but Desktop. When any other device is enabled, the previously enabled device is disabled. Thus I cannot customize individual device views.

That’s all I’ve found so far.

This appears to conform with https://www.themepunch.com/faq/wordpress-5-5-important-update-information/

1. Data can be lost when saving projects
A certain deprecated jQuery function in WordPress 5.5 is causing some settings in Slider Revolution and Essential Grid to be set to their default value upon opening the Slider Revolution editor or editing an Essential Grid project.

Don’t save any projects if you updated to WordPress 5.5 but haven’t updated Slider Revolution and Essential Grid yet.

2. Functionality and styling problems in Gutenberg
Furthermore, some functionality in the Gutenberg editor can be broken as a lot of things were changed there.

Will you have the updated version 6.2.18 of Slider Revolution soon?

thanks,
Jenn

Hi,

You can use the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper in some cases this can help you to make the plugins with deprecated jQuery to work.
AS for the Revolution Slider, in the coming update of theme we’ll include the last version (v6.2.18).

Thank you for your understanding!
