  • Still working for me on WP 6.8.1

    This plugin is still doing its job of removing jquery-migrate from my sites with WordPress V6.8.1 - I confirmed by looking at the source code before and after activation. Many thanks!

  • good

    This plugin works very good with WP 4.9, but i can say that it is usless with WP 5.5 And they say - with the WordPress 5.5 update, the migration tool known as jquery-migrate is no longer enabled by default.

  • Perfect!

    Did exactly what I needed it to do after the update to Wordpress 5.6 broke my site due to the jQuery Migrate plugin.

  • It does the job!

  • Very lightweight - only a dozen lines of code

    Does what it says, stops the jquery-migrate JavaScript library from loading on your WordPress website. It's recommended to delete such unneeded calls & loads if your visitor-facing site uses jQuery, but none of your plugins require the jQuery Migrate library. "What is jQuery Migrate? The jQuery Migrate module (jquery-migrate.min.js) is a javascript library that preserves compatibility of jQuery code developed for versions of jQuery older than 1.9. JQuery Migrate also allows developers to detect deprecated code that is no longer supported by the latest jQuery libraries and to adapt it according to the newest versions of jQuery 1.9 and higher." jQuery is currently on version 3.x, so modern plugins should not need the migrate library. But if something does happen to break, then you can always uninstall this plugin.
