jQuery Version Issue

    We inherited the maintenance of a site that is starting to show its age. For some reason, the developers of the site are using version 3.1.0 of jQuery. We added MetaSlider to the site and the slider works but the dot navigation does not. If we use the version of jQuery that ships with WordPress, it does, but a lot of other stuff breaks.

    How can we run 3.1.0 and also run the version that MetaSlider needs to work? What’s the minimum version of jQuery MetaSlider requires? Thanks in advance.

    Hi @mjh1. Thanks for using MetaSlider. Sorry, this is difficult question to answer without a deeper understanding of your site and what doesn’t work with modern versions of jQuery. I would recommend trying to replace the parts of the site that are out-of-date.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Not feasible unfortunately. There’s no way to find out the minimum version of jQuery that MetaSlider 3.106.0 supports?

    @mjh1 You can try the Version Control for jQuery plugin.

    Helpful, thanks. But things just got weirder. If I use the Version Control plugin, the dot navigation doesn’t work even if I load jQuery 3.7.1 (the version that ships with WordPress 6.9.4), but if I use the generic wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’) in the functions.php file, the dot navigation does work (but other things on the page break). Ugh.

    I’m considering ditching the dots and just using arrows (though I’m not crazy about the arrow graphics in the theme I’m using).

    Thanks @mjh1. That might be helpful in this case. Long-term, it’s worth updating your site. 3.1.0 of jQuery is literally 10 years old now.
