I love the Parabola theme and want to keep using it. However I updated this morning to WP 5.6 and now the site doesn’t work anymore with this theme. It freezes when you click on any link. With a plugin “Enable jQuery Migrate Helper” I can make it work again but this is a temporary solution. Does this mean I need to install another theme for the future or will there be a Parabola theme update?

Thanks!

I found out that Parabola is working fine with WP5.6. A plugin (Lightbox – EverlightBox Gallery) caused this problem. When it is deactivated it works fine.

WordPress 5.5-5.6-5.7 gradually introduce core changes to the JavaScript jQuery library which will cause issues with many themes and plugins. These issues can be somewhat delayed using the JQuery Migrated helper plugin, however the incompatibilities themselves will need to be corrected in the themes and plugins.

Parabola works with WordPress 5.5 and 5.6, but we will most likely still need to release a compatibility update for the 5.7 update.
