I used the plugin WP Downgrade to rollback my WordPress installation to version 5.4.4, and everything in the Athena Pro theme started working again (well, at least all the problems I noticed: the mobile menu, the Jumbotron, and the testimonials).

Depending on what other plugins and/or other customizations you’ve made to the theme, your results may vary. If you try it you’ll probably want to backup your site first at the very least.

This workaround probably won’t work forever, as your plug-ins, and perhaps WordPress itself, will probably stop supporting older WordPress builds at some point, but it will at least buy some time for whatever is left of SmartCat to provide a remedy, or more likely, to find another theme. For a site like mine that is basically static in perpetuity, my hope is I can ride it out for a few more years.

I think this worked. I uploaded it as a new plugin. I now have two FooGallery plugins active on my dashboard. Should I deactivate one of them?

Thank you!

The did not provide a full reasoning at the time. I sent your response to Smartcat, and here is what they said:

Its not an error on FooGallery’s part – just seems to be a simple issue of the two products not being compatible. Because their gallery is coded not to appear until fully loaded, our page is loading without it. The functions of the theme and the free plugin don’t sync up. This happens with third party software.

So it appears that both products have these features, and do not think of them as bugs, but that the two features may not be compatible. If it is possible to easily make them compatible that would be quite useful, however. Please let me know if that might be possible.
