Can't load more post items after WordPress update

[xatar080]

I recently made a WordPress update and now I have the problem that the page contents are all displayed correctly, but only 6 entries are listed in my blog and I cannot scroll any further using the "Load more" button. I have already worked through the troubleshooting guide. WordPress version is now 5.7, all plugins and themes are up to date. There's no cache plugin installed and the browser cache was emptied.

The problem is, as I said, that only 6 posts are displayed and when I click on "Load more" nothing seems to happen, i.e. no error is displayed. I suspect that an AJAX call is supposed to be made here and it either goes nowhere or is blocked or does not find any further posts, although there are actually 10 more.

What might be interesting to know would be that I recently installed an SSL certificate with my provider and changed all the links in my WordPress installation from http to https using the "Better Search Replace" plugin (except the GUID fields).

I don't know if it helps, but here is the output from the developer console in the browser:

jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.3.2:2 JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.3.2

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your website. The console error points to the vc_grid.min.js file, which is not a part of WordPress core, and belongs to the WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) plugin.

Please note that this Trac is used for enhancements and bug reporting for the WordPress core software, not for third-party plugins like Visual Composer, or individual support questions.
