FYI, WordPress 5.6 broke the slider on my site.

I have restored previous snapshot, so no problem, but has anyone else had a problem? Would be grateful for a fix if so.

   Hello Stephen,

   Can you please elaborate on what/how exactly wasn't it working? And if you can provide a link to the staging version of your website that isn't working correctly - that would be great.

   I had some Javascript work done on the site and suspect this is the problem, if no one else had a problem. I shall investigate this further rather than bothering you more and get back if necessary. Thanks for the support!

   Same problem here. After updating to WP 5.6 all sliders are broken.

   One of your plugins or the theme is adding defer attribute to all scripts of the page, which breaks execution order. Are you using any "performance optimization" plugins?

   Ok. I found this within the functions.php from the theme.

    

   --

   //Defer Pasing JavaScript for entire website, including Plugins, but without jQuery.js

   //Feel free to change "async" to "defer". $files will be excluded

   function defer_parsing_of_js($url)

   {

   //Specify which files to EXCLUDE from defer method. Always add jquery.js

       $files = array('jquery.js');

   //let's not break back-end

       if (!is_admin()) {

           if (false === strpos($url, '.js')) {

               return $url;

           }

    

           foreach ($files as $file) {

               if (strpos($url, $file)) {

                   return $url;

               }

           }

       } else {

           return $url;

       }

       return "$url' defer='defer";

   }

   add_filter('clean_url', 'defer_parsing_of_js', 11, 1);

   Any suggestions what to change here? Deleting the whole section and the slider works again. But I am not sure how this effects the rest of the theme …

   You can try modifying to:

   //Specify which files to EXCLUDE from defer method. Always add jquery.js
   $files = array('jquery.js', 'jquery.min.js', 'royalslider');

    Good day Dmitry and Happy New Year. I have the same issue, after updating to 5.6 the sliders are not working (the loading animation keep going without dispaying the pictures). Here is one of the pages where royalslider is in: https://www.fortbonifaciorent.com/the-fort-residences/1br-tfr38

    @flaminio2 , your theme (or one of the plugins) is including jQuery and jQuery.Migrate incorrectly, thus you have multiple versions of them on the same page. Specifically these two script tags:

    <script   src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.0.0.js"></script>

    Thanks Dmitry, the devs were able to fix the conflict. Now working.

    @Suzzz, you're using very old version of the plugin, consider updating. There is also a JS error from your theme or one of the plugins that may block the execution.

    This comment was split into a new private discussion: WordPress 5.6 broke the slider

    Dmitry, if you're still around, I was wondering if you could help me resolve my slider issue after updating to WP 5.6.2: www.cjoscoe.org
