Description
I have a number of problems with my WordPress sites since the latest 5.5 update:
1/. The right sidebar has moved to the left-hand side of my blog and now appears below all the posts shown on the page.
2/. Some of the featured images are now far larger than they were before the update.
3/. On another site all images have disappeared leaving the following text where the image used to be "Default Alt Tag for this page"

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your website since the latest update, but this topic is best discussed on the support forums or directly with the developer of your theme or website.
Please try the support forums to get help with your site: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.
If you discover a bug in WordPress core, feel free to reopen this ticket with the steps to reproduce on a clean install.
Welcome @omniglobal and thanks for your report.
These issues may depend on a change in WordPress 5.5 related to the jQuery library. Are you seeing any JavaScript errors in your browser console?
If so you might need to check the information on this support topic under the section "jQuery Migrate is disabled by default": https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-5-5-master-list/#post-13238244
If that is the case, it means one or more of your plugins or the active theme are using JavaScript code that is incompatible with the jQuery change in WordPress. Ideally, these plugins (or the theme) should update their code. If no update is available at this time, there is a "jQuery Migrate Helper" plugin available on the support topic, please see the instructions there. If that solves the issues you're experiencing, please report back. That would be much appreciated so that issues triggered by this change can be better tracked :)
