 * Hi,
 * I’ve ran into some trouble after upgrading our installs to WordPress 5.5. On 
   our tester/development site test.sweetestboxingkc.com, I am currently working
   on rearranging our staffer contact icons (UltimatelySocial and UltimatelySocial
   Premium).
 * In the backend admin area for the plugin, I cannot change anything about the 
   current settings. I can click, but nothing happens outside of the Chrome Browser
   showing a small notation of ‘javascript:;’ on the lower left of the browser pane.
 * I’m not a very advanced WebDev (jack of all trades). I saw other postings talking
   about checking the debug logs and the .htaccess file. I’m posting those below
   in case they matter here.
 * debug.log –
 *     ```

 * Try installing [jQuery Migrate Helper plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/)
   and see if it fixes the issue.
