Plugin makes use of deprecated jQuery method

Hi team,

WordPress has ‘retired’ some older jQuery versions in their 5.5 update, which causes previously deprecated functions to no longer work. We’ve installed the ‘Enable jQuery Migrate Helper’ which includes those older jQuery scripts again, but according to WordPress this plugin won’t work from WP5.6 onwards.

Your plugin is raising a warning that jQuery.fn.load() is deprecated in the file wp-backitup-admin.min.js, which would cause the plugin to no longer work without the helper plugin. Do you have a timeline in which you will update this script (and maybe others) so they’ll be using the newer jQuery methods?

Hope to hear from you soon,

Vivienne
