# jQuery Version Issue

 * We inherited the maintenance of a site that is starting to show its age. For 
   some reason, the developers of the site are using version 3.1.0 of jQuery. We
   added MetaSlider to the site and the slider works but the dot navigation does
   not. If we use the version of jQuery that ships with WordPress, it does, but 
   a lot of other stuff breaks.
 * How can we run 3.1.0 and also run the version that MetaSlider needs to work? 
   What’s the minimum version of jQuery MetaSlider requires? Thanks in advance.

 * Hi [@mjh1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjh1/). Thanks for using MetaSlider.
   Sorry, this is difficult question to answer without a deeper understanding of
   your site and what doesn’t work with modern versions of jQuery. I would recommend
   trying to replace the parts of the site that are out-of-date.

 * Thanks for the quick reply. Not feasible unfortunately. There’s no way to find
   out the minimum version of jQuery that MetaSlider 3.106.0 supports?

 * [@mjh1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjh1/) You can try the [Version Control for jQuery](https://wordpress.org/plugins/version-control-for-jquery/)
   plugin.

 * Helpful, thanks. But things just got weirder. If I use the Version Control plugin,
   the dot navigation doesn’t work even if I load jQuery 3.7.1 (the version that
   ships with WordPress 6.9.4), but if I use the generic wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’)
   in the functions.php file, the dot navigation does work (but other things on 
   the page break). Ugh.
 * I’m considering ditching the dots and just using arrows (though I’m not crazy
   about the arrow graphics in the theme I’m using).

 * Thanks [@mjh1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjh1/). That might be helpful
   in this case. Long-term, it’s worth updating your site. 3.1.0 of jQuery is literally
   10 years old now.
