Are you using the latest versions of those plugins? If not, you should definitely update asap. What about the theme? Is it updated/compatible with the latest version of WP?
I log into each site twice daily and apply all plugin/theme updates as soon as they appear. I receive the WP updates automatically through the hosting service.
Could those plugins be out of sync? Only because they haven’t had time to react to whatever just appeared in this 4.2.2 update that was unexpected. I would expect plugin/theme authors are testing against the beta code for WP, but you all don’t actually synchronize releases – which is why I’m getting the results noted in my initial post.
You and I both know I just have to wait it out until they catch up … but I created my post because there is clearly some underlying common root-cause to the change that has impacted numerous plugins… and your developers might want to check it out, too.
Hm… I would recommend not to rely on the update notifications in the admin area, especially for premium (paid) plugins. Sometimes you have to check personally.
What’s the version of Even calendar pro? Is it 3.9.3?
Rev slider? Is it 4.6.93?
Testimonials slider? Is it this one? It’s tested up to WP 4.1.5.

I understand what you mean but i think we should first establish if you’re using the latest versions of those plugins. Maybe the plugin’s authors already fixed a lot of bugs and made the plugins compatible with WP 4.2.x
Here’s the list of files revised in v 4.2.2.
It looks very amateurish but have you tried to disable and enable the plugins?!
WebNashr – not an amateurish suggestion, at all. I’ve gone through and switched a few of the plugins off (mostly the ones that had received the most recent updates).
For an unknown reason, the issue I’ve pointed out in this thread mysteriously cleared up today. I’ve not received any notices from my Hosting provider as to whether they’ve applied any updates to WordPress, but something clearly changed in the environment.
I’ve opened a ticket with the Hosting provider, one with the Plugin vendor for an Eventbrite plugin, and I think I’ll satisfied that the issue reported here has ‘cleared up’ (but I don’t know how/why).
If you don’t mind, I would like to leave this open for another 48 hours on the outside chance I can uncover what has happened – and then report here for the potential use/benefit of others.
