 * Hello,
    I recently upgraded to wordpress version 5.5.1 and that’s when I started
   having issues with my publisher theme options. I am unable to change widget default
   styles like I used to. Today, I activated another theme and the theme options
   were working. Then, I also downgraded to wordpress version 5.4.2 and the publisher
   theme options were back to normal. What should i do? i need to keep my wordpress
   up to date.

 * Hello [@morrisa34](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morrisa34/),
 * It’s possible your **theme** uses **older code** that may **not** work correctly
   after the WordPress 5.5.1 **update**.
 * The following **plugin** should **temporarily fix** this issue and give the plugins
   and themes developers time to update their code: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/).
 * I recommend **contacting** your theme’s **developer** to find out when they will**
   update** the theme.
 * If the plugin above does **not** work, then you may have a **conflict** between
   your **theme** and some **plugins**.
