More details here: https://github.com/jquery/ jquery-migrate/issues/36 It’s also one thing less to load where it counts. Props to people in this thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-the- default-jquery-and-migrate-from-the-header-in-last-version-of-wp?replies=6. ## Installation 1. Upload contents of the plugin zip file to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Profit ## FAQ-e Why is the jQuery-migrate needed? There are still some dependencies in WP-Admin that require it to be present. Most up-to-date frontend code and plugins don’t require it however so theres no reason to load it there. Can this break my site? Yes, possibly.
