In plugins and themes page select all option isn't working.

[pooja1210]

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to the plugins page and click on the checkbox present in the title row
• This ideally when checked should check all the checkbox from the plugin/themes list, but on clicking it no action is performed

Tested this on two different sites one site with stable version 5.4.2 and another with 5.5-RC2-48740. With the stable WP version that is 5.4.2 and the select, all for plugins/themes are working as expected.

But with WP version 5.5-RC2-48740 select all for plugins/themes is not working as expected.

Visual with stable version and the expected result

Visual with v5.5-RC2-48740 in which the issue exists.

Thanks for the ticket @pooja1210!

This is most likely an issue caused by a plugin that is using old jQuery functionality that will no longer work in WordPress 5.5 due to jQuery Migrate being removed.

For more info about that see #37110 and ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/29/updating-jquery-version-shipped-with-wordpress/

If you open your web browser's developer console, you should be able to see which JavaScript file is causing the error.

Hi,

I don't see any error in the web browser's developer console.

[TimothyBlynJacobs]

Could you try deactivating all the plugins @pooja1210?

@TimothyBlynJacobs

I tried deactivating all the plugins but couldn't see any errors.

Also, I noticed that select all is working now.

Thanks for the follow-up! By enabling plugins one by one again you should be able to find the one that was breaking it.

Removing the accessibility label, as this seems related to the removal of jquery-migrate in 5.5.
