 I would like to begin by congratulating WP 5.5 which is indeed faster than
 any other previous WP. However after the update 2 problems developed which
 weren’t there before:

 1 – When visiting a post, in the comment section it no longer shows the
 logged in user as logged in, the user has to insert username and email as
 if he’s logged out. If the user leaves blank and just types something in
 the comment box, same story.

 2 – The theme we use is responsive, heavily customized and it has a
 responsive menu button with 3 lines which used to show up only when the
 page viewed was below a certain resolution, now after the update the
 button shows up on all resolutions and not only that but it doesn’t even
 work anymore, clicking or tapping on it, does nothing. We don’t know how
 to fix this from our side as the button was already perfectly functional
 in previous WP versions. There seems to be a problem with WP 5.5.

 Something fundamentally changed in WP 5.5 and hopefully that something
 will be fixed in the next update 5.5.1… We already tried the plugin trick
 by disabling all, flushing cache, etc. something changed in the core of
 5.5 which is causing this. Until this is fixed in future updates, we’ve
 downgraded back to 5.4.2.

 Thank you.
