Guys stop updating Wordpress 5.5. When your theme isnt ready for it. Most of the plugins too aren’t ready for it. If you have auto updates stop it, if updated roll back to a previous version right away
 
Cmon we are not good at technical stuff. Can you explain what will happen?
 
Yup 5.5 is a big tuneup for WP stuffs in and out!

I rolled back one of my site and stopped others from auto update too.
 
Thanks for the heads up!

For testing, I updated one of my sites to 5.5 but haven't noticed anything strange yet. However, I don't like the current editor design. It looks very childish to me.
 
How did you roll back?
Got backup from my hosting to roll back to yesterday files. Then stopped it from auto update.

Also in other site i had wp setup as backup before update to prevent this in future.
 
How to roll back to the previous version.
it is very technical as per google :(

I found this plugin and will try it. Hope it will end well :) https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-downgrade/#description
 
WP 5.5 broke some of my sites, took me few hours to fix it, mostly related to jquery.

If you don't want or could not roll back, you can try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/
 
Yesterday I updated my site to the latest version of Wordpress. But it broke my site and was showing many issues. Fortunately, I had my backup file and was able to restore my site to the previous version.
 
I'm running a studiopress theme, yet to notice anythung strange. Hopes it stays that way
 
if the plugin doesn't work because of new WP version after updating, probably the theme is outdated or the PHP and other programming language don't support it. There 2 options, change the theme or back to the previous version. But I personally choose the 1st option, easy peacy!
 
Just install the plugin WP Downgrade, set the previous version of your choice and downgrade. I did just now and I am happy
 
I always wait 1-2 weeks before updating my WordPress version :D
