WP Editor – jQuery is not defined

Hello,

tonight my wordpress updated itself to version 6.0. I have disabled auto-updates now, but since the update I have a problem with the WP Editor in the tagdiv composer. When I try to update the HTML content of a component such as “Text with title”, the spinner doesn’t stop and the console log prints this error:

wpeditor.php?wp_path=/var/www/site/:1724 Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
at wpeditor.php?wp_path=/var/www/site/:1724:3

at i.onPostRender (plugin.min.js?wp-mce-49110-20201110:1:1467)

To complicate things more, today I have changed the website domain too and I can’t change it back, this website is in production now, so I don’t know if the problem is caused by the WP update or by the domain change.

Thanks to anyone able to help

Just an update.

I have tried these steps:

1. disable TagDiv Composer
2. uninstall(delete) TagDiv Composer
3. clear cache (if cache plugin exists)
4. install TagDiv Composer
5. activate TagDiv Composer
6. clear cache (if cache plugin exists)

but it does not help.

OK solved.

This is the exact same problem I am experiencing: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/ssl-error-when-trying-to-edit-column-text-in-tagdiv-composer/

The issue is not resolved with the new Newspaper upgrade.
