    Hello,
    I’ve updated a development site running the latest Enfold version (4.7.6.4) from WordPress 5.5.3 to 5.6. The site is functioning, but after pressing the scroll to top button on longer pages, the scrolling is happening much slower than before.
    See for example these two demo’s (not mine) which proves that it is not only happening on my dev site:
    http://wpexpert.se/enfold/ (found this demo in a post on this forum concerning another problem, should be running WP 5.6)
    https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-church/ (the demo on this site, not yet running WP 5.6?)
    On my Macbook Pro and iMac there is a significant difference in speed in Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
    Does anyone else experience this or am I seeing ghosts?
    After installing the Test jQuery Updates plugin, the speed was back to normal on my dev site. But that is only a temporary fix I suppose…
    Kind regards,
    Jef

    Hey jvingerhoets,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    It seems to be working normally on our end — tested the staging site and church demo on Firefox Dev Windows 10, and we do not see any script errors in the browser console that might cause the issue.

    Best regards,

    Hi Ismael,
    I’ve the same issue with WP 5.6, Enfold 4.7.6.4 and ONLY on Chrome Version 87.0.4280.67 for Mac OS. All scroll animation are “slow” (no ease-in / out effect).
    This issue don’t appear on Safari or Firefox for me

    Try the links of @jvingerhoets in Chrome please,

    Marc

    Hey Ismael,
    Thank you for your answer. But even on a Windows PC in Firefox and Chrome there’s still a significant loss of speed when using the back to top button. I’ve tested this on a live site (see link in Private Content): this is a one page website where you can navigate between sections using the top menu. Going from the first (Home) to the next (Werking) section used to be very fast and fluid. Now it takes much longer and, as Octopus described, there’s nog ease-in and -out effect. Can you test this please?
    Kind regards,
    Jef

    Hi,

    We are able to reproduce the issue on peetersenhermans site using Chrome Windows 10, but not in the default church demo, so this is probably related to a plugin or to the latest WordPress version 5.6. Please try to install the following plugin, activate it, go to the Settings > jQuery Migrate panel and set jQuery to the legacy version.

    // https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/

    Let us know if it changes anything.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hello Ismael,
    I installed the plugin and changed jQuery to the legacy version. That indeed fixed the problem and scrolling was back to normal.
    I changed jQuery back to the standard version and this is what the log showed me after navigating on the homepage:

    jQuery.fn.click() event shorthand is deprecated
    Thema: Enfold
    https://(url edited).be/wordpress/wp-content/themes/enfold/js/avia.js

    jQuery.expr[\’:\’] is deprecated; use jQuery.expr.pseudos
    Thema: Enfold
    https://(url edited).be/wordpress/wp-content/themes/enfold/js/avia.js

    I’ve also (temporary) deactivated all plugins, but the same issue remained.
    So it looks like an issue with WordPress 5.6 in combination with Enfold?
    Kind regards,
    Jef

    Hi Jef,

    Yes, that is correct. WordPress 5.6 introduced some problems which we didn’t catch during our testing unfortunately. We are working on fixing all of them for the next release of the theme though, please continue using the plugin until the next version of the theme is available.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Thank for the update Rikard.
    I’m looking forward to the next release.
    Keep up the good work!
    Regards,
    Jef

    Hi Jef,

    Thanks for the update. The new version should hopefully be available within the next few days.

    Best regards,

    Hi there,
    is there already an answer for this problem? Because I have the same problem with my websites. I am running WP Version 5.6.1. The “scrolling to top” is still much slower than before / no ease-in and -out effect.
    An other site of my is still running on an older WP version and its working all fine.

    Thanks for a short feedback:)

    Hi Yvi,

    Please try installing this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/, then set the jQuery version to 1.12.4 in the plugin options, to see if that helps. This problem will be fixed in the next update of the theme.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Thanks for the plugin fix on this, Rikard — apparently this fix still hasn’t been implemented in the theme, correct? I’m running Enfold 4.8.1 and WP 5.6.1 and I still seem to need the plugin to get a smooth scroll with the right speed. Thanks again!

    #1288819

    Hi,

    Yes the plugin is still preferred at the moment. If you need additional help please let us know here in the forums.

    Best regards,
    Jordan Shannon
