Updating to WordPress 4.5 made slider disappear

Error:

• WordPress got updated, usually to 4.5, and the sliders disappeared

Problem appeared in (but it could be in other plugins and themes too):

• Fixed Menu Anchor plugin
• Responsive theme By CyberChimps 
• Point theme By MyThemeShop 
• Artisteer themes
• FlyMag PRO theme
• Divi theme
• BuildMe theme
• WPEX-PRONTO theme
• Event Registration plugin

Solution:

Check your website in Chrome. Press F12, click on Console, and Refresh the page, where you have the slider disappeared. You will probably see a javascript error like this:

Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: a[href=#scroll-top]

And a path to jQuery. You should open up the arrow before this message to locate, where the real issue is happening:

it will be the file, which isn't jQuery, but something else. In it you will have a code starting with something like:

jQuery('a[href=#xyz]')

which was accepted in older jQuery-s, but it's not accepted in new ones. You should either just disable your plugin, but it might be a file from your theme, and you want to fix it. Then you should put " " signs around the # part, like this:

jQuery('a[href="#xyz"]')

and that will fix your problem. If your code looks a little bit differently:

$("a[href*=#]")

$('a[href*="#"]')

So the key to solve this problem is to eliminate the not surrounded # tags.
