To assist with this problem. I used jQuery Migrate Helper plugin to get things working again.
It does highlight these errors on 5.5.
/wp-content/plugins/edit-flow/modules/custom-status/lib/custom-status.js: $(html) HTML text after last tag is ignored
/wp-content/plugins/edit-flow/modules/custom-status/lib/custom-status.js: jQuery.fn.attr(‘selected’) might use property instead of attribute
I think they are related to “jQuery Migrate”
I can confirm that the plugin does not work under WordPress 5.5.1. No errors are received by me, but all of my custom statuses are missing.
I also installed the jQuery Migrate Helper and can confirm the above 2 messages. In addition, if I go to the Custom Status page, I get the following warning:
“https://www.sanefcs.com/wp-content/plugins/edit-flow/modules/custom-status/lib/custom-status-configure.js: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated”
Thanks for your posts, @thepauluk and @gamethrall. I installed jQuery Migrate Helper as soon as it was suggested. That solved the problem of being locked out of the Publish box. Fortunately, I didn’t lose any of the custom statuses.
I’m getting the same warning on the Custom Status page.
Same problem you need to install plugin jquery migrate.
The problem found is :
– https://**/wp-content/plugins/edit-flow/modules/custom-status/lib/custom-status.js: $(html) HTML text after last tag is ignored
