Hi. My subscription plugin worked fine until this recent upgrade. Then it made my forum go haywire. My developer had to uninstall it and said it was broken.

He cited this error:

Here’s the error (it first appeared 3 hours ago and nothing changed on the server):

file: /var/www/vhosts/bobreynoldsmusic.com/lessons.bobreynoldsmusic.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/forum/content/classes/sp-topic-view-class.php

that doesnt make any sense…  its not broken for thousands of users… and that ‘not found’ column has existed since the subscriptions plugin was created…  did you verify the column is in your db??  what version did you upgrade from? perhaps the download was corrupted during the wp plugin upgrade?

Sorry Steve but the column ‘topic_subs’ was removed a long time back when we switched to the user activities table. And the subscriptions plugin has gone through several updated releases since.

So what we should, perhaps, look at is versions. What version of Subscription did you update from and what versions of the core SP are you running there?

Hi there. So I installed the plugin a year ago and have made any upgrades you’ve issued along the way.  (Again, it worked fine til recent upgrade)

The one that broke the forum was Version 5.5.8″ (version number retrieved from the WordPress Plugins Status page)

So we deleted it and reinstalled the original zip file I got from this site a year ago, which my developer says is: 
Subscriptions Plugin version 1.4 (version number retrieved from sp-subscriptions-plugin.php)

1.4?  pretty old – latest if 1.4.12…   you didnt say which version of wp and sp?

Current version of both SP and WP.

Where can I download the subscription plugin that is just before this most recent update?

It’s not that easy. The column – ‘topic_subs’ – that appears top be your databased problem in the error log entry was removed from the subscriptions plugin totally in version 1.4.7 that was released  17th December 2014 alongside Simple:Press version 5,.5.3.

Simple:Press now stands at version 5.5.8 and the Subscriptions plugin at 1.4.12. These versions do NOT have any reference to the topic_subs column and have not had this since last December.

So something seems incomplete in your versioning.

WP 4.2.2

SP forum is latest version

Subscription plugin now 1.4.12 (my developer was able to downgrade)

Whatever the update after that version is is the one that broke my forum.

1.4.12 IS the current version of the Subscriptions plugin.
