    Need to revert to the original WordPress jQuery version on specific page/s? Then this is for you!

    Hi Remzi

    A small follow-up story about my experience with your plugin.

    It solved a lot of problems for me, YAY. But it also affected an important page in a negative way. On my website I implemented a booking system (Bookly) with several addons. I have a sub-page where customers can login to their accounts to cancel or reschedule appointments, change their personal data, get a new password etc. And this critical part of that page didn’t work, when jQuery Manager for WordPress was activated. Not so YAY. On a sidenote: I believe the problem arises from Bookly’s use of a Bootstrap version, that doesn’t allow jQuery versions higher than 3.0

    Anyway, I found a solution in a small plugin, that allows me to turn jQuery Manager for WordPress on/off for specific page/s. It’s this little baby:

    Plugin Load Filter

    I would highly recommend this combo (jQuery Manager + Plugin Load Filter) in case jQuery Manager breakes functionality on specific page/s. It’s simply brilliant! And this combo doesn’t seem to affect my Google PSI score beyond normal fluctuations. Actually it has the potential to lower your page load time, especially when using many plugins! YAY!

    Thanks again for all your efforts and work! I hope this will be of help to the community ??

    Kind regards
    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    I could take a look at your website/specific URL. In this way I could check why it didn’t work in the first place and improve the plugin. (I have helped some other users and even developers this way to catch bugs)

    Unfortunately there is no option to turn the plugin on or off on a specific page, also this option will not be implemented, because it should be a simple plugin while giving users the option to select the specific version of jQuery they desire.

    Kind regards,
    Remzi

    Hi @petercopenhagen

    Could you please answer my question? If I don’t get any answer I will assume that you have solved your issue or don’t need my assistance/help.

    That would be unfortunate, because maybe I could fix the issue with the booking system (Bookly) or point out bugs to my fellow web developers which will help all users by the way.

    I hope you will write me the url, so I could debug this matter in depth, I like to help people and all users in general.

    Kind regards,
    Remzi

    Hi Remzi

    Thank you for your willingness to help.

    I’m very busy at the moment rebuilding my site almost from scratch. My hosting provider moved my domain from a server in Germany to a new datacenter here in Denmark, and something has been a little off on my site since that. At the same time I made some risky changes on a staging site, only it was actually the real site by mistake. And my backups was from the older german server…

    I’ve chosen to rebuild my site from (almost) scratch to get a completely clean and fresh install. So right now there is nothing you can look at. And I don’t know yet if the rebuild will need anything. Hopefully not.

    But thanks again. I’ll get back to you, if the same issues persists on the new site.

    Kind regards
    Peter

    PS: Did you know that WP from version 5.2.1 actually backported patch from jQuery 3.40? Though when you check jQuery version in file, it stills says 1.12.xx

    Hi @petercopenhagen

    You’re welcome ??
    I’m sorry to hear that you have some difficulties, but I’m pretty sure you will resolves these issue (and along the way you will become better at this).

    I look forward to your message when you have resolved your issues. If you still feel the need to do this privately (because you told me that the website was sensitive), you can look me up online.

    Good luck with your website/project.

    Kind regards,
    Remzi

    PS: I do know, because with other developers we’re debating what to do next. The WordPress team is backporting security fixes from the newest version of jQuery (3.x) to the much older version/branch of jQuery (1.x). But you can’t change the version dramatically, but you’re right they should change the version number a bit to show other users and devs that it’s a custom/patched version. For example: jQuery 1.12.4-wp1 or 1.12.5 or something.
