Our analysis

AI-assisted

jQuery Manager for WordPress is a plugin that allows you to manage jQuery and jQuery Migrate versions on your WordPress site. It enables you to activate specific versions, remove jQuery Migrate, and update jQuery automatically when the plugin is updated. This tool is particularly useful for developers who need to debug or optimise their jQuery usage.

The plugin requires PHP 5.6 or higher and adds the latest stable versions of jQuery and jQuery Migrate to your website upon activation. While it is designed for those who regularly update their plugins, it also includes a debug mode for developers to troubleshoot issues related to jQuery integration.

Best for: This plugin is best suited for developers who need to manage jQuery versions on their WordPress sites.

Verdict

From the developer

Remzi Cavdar's own description of jQuery Manager for WordPress, lightly tidied.

Manage jQuery and jQuery Migrate on a WordPress website, activate a specific jQuery and/or jQuery Migrate version. The ultimate jQuery debugging tool for WordPress

TLDR: Update jQuery / Remove jQuery Migrate / jQuery Updater and get notified of a jQuery update / manage jQuery

Features

  • Remove jQuery Migrate – if you use plugins which are updated regularly, then you can probably disable / remove jQuery Migrate.
  • jQuery Updater – If this plugin is installed and activated, jQuery will be updated when you update this plugin
  • Select jQuery (Migrate) version — Activate / select a specific version of jQuery and/or jQuery Migrate.
  • Debug mode – Debug mode for developers
  • Active support – Active support through WordPress support forum and GitHub issues page

Note that jQuery Manager requires PHP 5.6+ to run.

When the plugin is activated the latest stable version of jQuery and jQuery Migrate are added to your website. The default is sufficient for most people, however the settings provide a way for you to tweak your jQuery install.

jQuery Manager for WordPress is an open source project and I would like to invite anyone to contribute. The development and issue tracker is located on GitHub, see: https://github.com/Remzi1993/jquery-manager

jQuery Updater – checks jQuery version

This plugin is especially designed to update and keep track of jQuery. When a new version of jQuery is released we update the plugin.

Updating the plugin will updates the jQuery version activated. Updates will be periodic, we also do (small) optimizations to our plugin from time to time.

Keep the plugin activated if you want to be alerted for any jQuery updates.

Also a Developer / Debugging tool

Everything should work as intended, you should check your website if everything works fine. If things don’t work, don’t panic. You can deactivate the plugin and return to the state before or tweak it’s settings until everything works as intended.

You should understand that not all themes and/or plugins support the latest jQuery version even with jQuery Migrate turned on, but for you to encounter this is highly unlikely if your theme or plugins are up to date.
This is also a developer/debugging tool.

I will not provide support on debugging your own JavaScript and/or jQuery code. (Only if you like to hire me, of course)
