Alice Manning, in the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor’s office, passed on some important information regarding WordPress 5.7.
I wanted to pass this information along as it may be helpful to those of us who maintain WordPress websites. WP 5.7 is scheduled to release on 3/9 and it includes a jQuery update. Some legacy functions may be deprecated.
I found this article pretty informative:

Before you update, it will be important to make sure any plugins and themes you are using are ready. The article also lists a plugin, Enable jQuery Migrate Helper, that may be useful. https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/
Thank you, Alice, for this information!
