Console warning

Hi,

You would need to reach out to the plugin or theme author who is using that piece of code (it often says further down in the console warning, as part of the console.trace list)

This plugin will always show up in that list, as it is what reports the issue, but below it you should be able to see what triggered the warning.

First thank you for this plugin. I run a few older websites with old themes not updated any longer. So will I have to keep having this console warning for ever? I understand your point, but not ALL themes can be updated.

Well, when jQuery is updated (planned for WordPress 5.6, this may change, but that’s the plan right now at least so let’s work off that), then that function will actually cause breakage to your site.

I could link you to information on updating the code manually, but that particular function, jQuery.browser, has no replacement and has been completely removed (as it was unreliable), and you will need to find someone to help you write new code to tackle what it was used for, or find a replacement. If there’s other problems popping up though, a generalised how to can be seen in this blogpost https://clorith.net/updating-jquery-code-in-your-unmaintained-wordpress-plugin-or-theme/, do note that it is not in-depth at all, and you should preferably get official updates to your themes or plugins, or look to maintained replacements.

Not the best of news, I know, but I do feel it’s important to be upfront about these things ??

As the original poster has not followed up with any new issues, I’m going to mark this topic as resolved (to help keep tabs on what topics are still looking for answers).

Should you continue having issues, feel free to follow up though!
