 * Since WP updated to 5.5 your menu is blocking the use of the backend of Visual
   Composer. There is obviously a conflict which needs looking at.
    A note to others:
   if you are using this plug-in, delay updating to WP5.5 until this is fixed.

 * This is correct.
 * In the meantime, you can temporary fix this by editing the clever-mega-menu.php
   file in the root of the plugin folder.
 * In lines 186 and 203, which contain “wp_localize_script” functions, replace ‘
   jquery-core’ with ‘clever-mega-menu-admin’.

 * Well it got the backend working but unfortunately I can’t edit into the menu 
   itself. It won’t load the screen; the little wheel keeps on turning 🙁
 * UPDATE: It’s OK, I think I have fixed it. I replaced more of the jquery tags 
   with the one you suggested and my menu screen returned. Thank you

 * Hello [@barrye_dickinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barrye_dickinson/),
 * Could you specify which tags you replaced? I’m trying to solve that same problem
   at the moment.
 * Thanks.
 * UPDATE: Nevermind, got it.
 * For future reference, in line 181 (should contain a wp_register_script function
   regarding “clever-menu-item”), replace “jquery-core” with “clever-mega-menu-admin”.

 * from line 185-206 approximately, I replaced all the references to “jquery-core”
   with “clever-mega-menu-admin”

 * Keep in mind when I did that in line 182 (the one that registers “clever-menu-
   theme”) the frontend menu appeared incorrectly, make sure yours still looks good
   on the frontend.
 * Regards.
