Top menu on doesn’t work after upgrade to WP 5.6

    Today I have upgraded my site to the new WordPress 5.6. Unfortunately the top menu no longer works.

    The menu is a standard two level menu with no special features.

    When using the site from a pc, I can access the one menu point that doesn’t have a submenu. When trying to access any of the other menu points that have subpoints the browser just adds “#” to the URL, but stays on the same page.

    When using the site from a smartphone the menu doesn’t work at all.

    On the front page of my site I have now added the full menu with links as a work around for users to navigate the site.

    I am using the theme “Dazzling” from “Colorlib”, but the menu is created in the standard WordPress menu editor.

    Everything else seems to be working.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Same here.
    This is because Dazzling theme includes an outdated Bootstrap v3.3.6,
    WordPress 5.6 now comes with jQuery v3.5.1 and not 1.9.1 anymore.

    When opening DevTools you will see the error:
    “Bootstrap’s JavaScript requires jQuery version 1.9.1 or higher, but lower than version 3”

    Bootstrap supports jQuery 3 as far as I know from v3.3.7 on (which is from mid 2016 already) and below v5 (which doesn’t need jQuery anymore).

    There are now two ways:

    1.) get a more recent theme under active development

    2.) update Dazzling’s Bootstrap to v3.3.7

    To do so get the bootstrap.min.css and the bootstrap.min.js and put them into the respective folders in “/wp-content/themes/dazzling/inc/”.

    Just discovered and tried that myself and Menu is working again. ??

    Thanks for the reply.

    Since I can see that Dazzling is no longer being updated, I have moved to another theme thinking that there will probably be more issues like this in the future.

    Good to know that there is a solution if I want to go back to Dazzling though.

    Thank you so much for this fix. I will start looking for another theme that is equally accessible but I thought I was going crazy because one day it worked and the next day it didn’t.

    Yay for you smart dudes helping us out!

    Update:

    they just came out with a Dazzling version 2.1.3, but sadly I couldn’t find a changelog.

    I tried it in a test enviroment and the above mentioned issue is still there, hence my fix is still working the same way.
