Tell us what you are trying to do?
I updated my site to the new version of WP today and now I can't pick dates in the editor. Prior to today, I am able to pick a date from a calendar that pops up when I click the date field (custom field for my custom post type). Any suggestions?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

You are talking about the backend, here?

Check your browser console, there would surely be JS errors on the page, and they would prevent the datepicker launching.

The errors may or may not be related to Toolset, please share what you find.

Hi there,

After I sent my request yesterday, I Googled to see if there are others out there who have run into the same situation as I did (upgraded to new WordPress and suddenly datepicker stops working in the editing interface). I found that I needed a plugin called Enable jQuery Migrate Helper to reenable the datepicker, which is now working again in the editor. I thought it was a Toolset issue since it's for custom field that I added to a custom post type.

Like, even in Block editing mode, the datepicker just won't work yesterday. I figured that maybe the Classic Editor was to blame, but such wasn't the case it seems.

So, I don't know whether this issue will resurface or not. It likely will?

By the way, here is the warning shown by the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper I installed. This showed up on the backend editing interface (where I compose entries/posts).
