    Seeking help with News Pro after the updates.

    I updated Genesis and WordPress to their latest versions and noticed that the widget used at the top of the page, Genesis Tabs did not work. I activated the Customize screen and clicked on the Widgets tab only to see a message that said this theme had 14 widget places but none was visible on that page. I can edit the widgets in the dashboard but not on the Customize screen.

    Does anybody else have a similar problem with Genesis 3.3 and WordPress 5.5? There are no unusual plugins and everything was working fine. I checked the plugin at the top, Genesis Tabs, and noticed that it was being deprecated. But, removing that did not solve the problem. I checked the version of News Pro and it was a version behind, I updated it to the latest version.

    Thanks for looking and sharing your ideas to solve this problem.

    Alan from WP Engine Support came to the rescue! The problem seems to be caused by a removed function. He suggested that I tried installing the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper plugin. I did that and the problems are gone for the time being.

    Thank you, Alan,
