Wordpress 5.5 Update Issues - Followed instructions on knowledge base article still not working

[payne931]

I am currently running x. I updated to the new word press 5.5. Once I did I’m having front end and back end problems.

I followed all the instructions about testing compatibility with plugins etc. and I’m still having the same problem.

It’s def. the theme bc when I switch to another theme the problem does go away.

Front end:

1. The background for my header disappeared
   2.My buttons are all shrunk and have no text (look like orange blobs) Screen Shot Below

Back End:

1. In the editor in the back end words are overlaying on top of each other and it’s just not working correctly - screen shot below - see far left side

2. The homepage for the x theme within my dashboard is messed up as well (see screen shots below)
   
   

Any help would be much appreciated. I’m not really sure where to go next.
