If so, you'll need to consult your theme's official support streams. – Pat J Commented Aug 15, 2020 at 16:59

Reset to default 1This is Trac ticket 51223:
commonL10n and other JS globals removed without backwards compatibility
In WordPress 5.5, the localized translations under commonL10n were replaced by wp.i18n.__ without deprecation notice or backwards compatibility. Plugins using commonL10n now have JavaScript errors introduced by updating WordPress which can break site functionality.
It was fixed in 5.5.1 by adding a compatibility layer. The best fix is to upgrade to 5.5.1.
commonL10n is still deprecated, however, and will be removed in 5.7.
