Hi Simple Press Support,

I have your plugin that we have been using for quite some time now.

I tried installing the forum onto our test site with the latest version of WP but get an error.

This happens when I tried to install the forum onto the new wp site:

The forum is temporarily unavailable while awaiting a database upgrade.
You are attempting to upgrade to version 6.11.10 from your current version of 5.5.11.
Unfortunately, auto upgrades from versions prior to 5.7.2 are not allowed due to the complexity of the changes.
Please visit our , then download and upgrade to at least version 5.7.2 before attempting to upgrade to version 6.11.10.
Where can I download this version 5.7.2 ?

Hi!

Sorry for the delay, and thanks for sticking with us!

No worries, this is an easy one. As long as you upgrade first to version 5.7.x, you’ll be fine. During 2024-2025 we have had quite a few upgrades from 5.7.x and they have all worked. But doing a test-run on a staging or test server is always a great idea.

You can grab the 5.7.5.3 version here: http://simple-press.com/upload......7.5.3.zip

Again, sorry for the hassle and the slow response.

Let us know if you run into any issues with upgrading to 5.7.5.3.

Best regards,
