 * Hello,
 * I noticed that my updraft plugin configuration page on the backend stopped working
   when I activate VSSP. The browser console showed an error at:
 *  admin-scripts.js – “jquery live is not a function”
 * The problem is in the sortable-images code:
    $(‘.sortable-images span a’).live(‘
   click’, function (e) { …
 * jQuery .live() has been removed from version 1.9 onwards.
 * This code needs to be changed to:
    $(‘.sortable-images span’).on(‘click’, ‘a’,
   function (e) {

 * Thank you,
    Detlef
