 * Hi there,
 * I’m trying to figure out why enabling this plugin doesn’t completely fix issues
   with updating to WordPress 5.6. I’ve set the option to revert jQuery to 1.12.4,
   but some issues persist with the autocomplete jQueryUI widget that weren’t happening
   with WP 5.5.
 * Do you know if WordPress 5.6 also makes some changes to jQueryUI? And if there
   is an equivalent migrate plugin that can buy me some time to work on a fix for
   my Microthemer plugin?
 * Many thanks,
    Sebastian

   to see the link]_

 * I did a bit more digging and discovered that WP 5.6 includes a new jQuery UI 
   library.
 * WP 5.5 used jQueryUI version 1.11.4
 * And now WP 5.6 uses jQueryUI version 1.12.1
 * I’ve resorted to loading version 1.11.4 while I figure out how to fix the compatibility
   issues.
 * I hope this info helps someone else. I didn’t come across any discussion of jQuery
   UI when reading about the jQuery changes in WP 5.6.

 * Hiya,
 * Great catch, I must admit the jQuery UI library has not been a focus here, but
   there may be compatibility issues between it and jQuery if the versions do not
   match up properly.
 * We’ll look into addressing that fairly rapidly, thanks for letting us know!

 * [@bastywebb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bastywebb/) could you share 
   your method to load old jQueryUI? I’m having many little issues in admin screens.

 * [@ecommonist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ecommonist/) Change the JQuery
   version from “Default” to “Legacy 1.12.4-wp” in the setting page of the plugin.
   
   To be exact:
 * Go to Tools > jQuery Migrate
    Set jQuery version to Legacy 1.12.4-wp Save settings

 * [@lucianogian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucianogian/) thank you, but
   it wasn’t that. I had code in functions.php conflicting with update and buttons
   in admin didn’t work properly. Now its commented and everything is fine again.
   Thank you guys!
