  • Version set to 5.5

Welcome and thanks for the report @rajeshsingh520 .

What's the exact problem you're seeing? Are the variables still being passed but just not localized? Or are they missing entirely? Some example code would be a great help.

#2 @rajeshsingh520

Yes the issue was still there, it was infect affecting my other plugins as well

you can reproduct the issue on your end

all the wp_localize_script( 'jquery', 'pi_global_day_time', $return ); localizing with 'jquery' are not getting added in the front end

I fixed it in my plugin by changing it to localize with some other handler script

It looks like this happens because wp_localize_script rewrites jquery to jquery-core. In WordPress 5.4, jquery didn't have a script of its own, and was instead a wrapper for jquery-core and jquery-migrate. In #37110, this was changed so that jquery has a script of its own and doesn't reference jquery-core at all.

An immediate fix for this would be dropping that rewrite in wp_localize_script, but it seems like there could be other scenarios where plugins/themes are relying on jquery-core being actually enqueued. I think it'd make the most sense to change jquery back to a wrapper for jquery-core. Particularly since we'll be reintroducing jquery-migrate in 5.6 when we update to jQuery 3.

Replying to TimothyBlynJacobs:

but it seems like there could be other scenarios where plugins/themes are relying on jquery-core being actually enqueued. I think it'd make the most sense to change jquery back to a wrapper for jquery-core.

This might indeed also helps with a related issue that I noticed today: If a plugin previously had deliberately enqueued jquery-core (because its JS files didn't need jquery-migrate), the jquery.js file might now loaded twice (e.g. if another plugin or the theme is also enqueuing it). This leads to issues if other jQuery plugins (like jquery-ui and similar) are loaded, as the second copy of jquery.js then overrides the extended jQuery JS object again.
Right now, this can be fixed by not enqueuing jquery-core directly, but it takes away the possibility to deliberately not load jquery-migrate.

So, indeed, if jquery could be made a "wrapper" or "alias" for jquery-core (until the new jquery-migrate is integrated), the just-described problem and the original ticket problem should be solved.

That said, maybe replacing

$scripts->add( 'jquery', '/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js', array(), '1.12.4-wp' );

with

$scripts->add( 'jquery', false, array( 'jquery-core' ), '1.12.4-wp' );

might already be sufficient.

#8 @TimothyBlynJacobs

Yeah I think that change makes the most sense.

So we have to revert this [48323] to fix the this issue.

Just noting for reference that comment:10 is a bit misleading and the patch doesn't actually revert all of [48323], just restores the jquery-core handle.

50919.patch looks good to me, since we'll need to add a newer version of jquery-migrate in 5.6, per #50564, as noted in comment:4.

In 48890:

Script Loader: Change the jquery handle back to an alias for jquery-core.

This ensures that wp_localize_script( 'jquery', ... ) continues to work as expected, since WP_Scripts::localize() rewrites the jquery handle to jquery-core internally.

Follow-up to [48323].

Props mukesh27, rajeshsingh520, johnbillion, TimothyBlynJacobs, TobiasBg.
Fixes #50919.
