Older versions of Simple Press for download (and testing)

Hi.

I need to test and configure Simple:Press on a website which has WordPress 4.4.2 installed.

The version of the plugin I downloaded advised me (at installation) that WP 4.5 is required.

For a variety of reasons, I am unable to update the client's site to 4.5 at the moment, yet I need to demonstrate Simple Press working on their site.

Can you provide a version of Simple Press which I can install?

Many thanks,

David

Hey David,

Yes, we have a back catalogue so to speak of previous Simple:Press versions. I think it's only the latest version (5.6.5) that requires WordPress 4.5, so you would probably be best going for the latest major version in the list (5.5.9).

Hope that helps!

Many thanks Ike ... I've downloaded 5.5.9 and I'll get it loaded tomorrow.

whoops, that page is bit out of date...  we should have the 5.6.x ones listed there too... will work on that this weekend...  and to be exact, 5.6.5 is the version that required wp 4.5..  but you should be good with yours too...

Hi folks

Downloaded 5.5.9 and installed it - still getting the WP 4.5 needed message ... is there something in the db which need to be changed?

Thanks, David

Sorry - where are you getting this message? And is it stopping things installing or running?

are you sure you removed the newer version?  and do not have two versions of simple press in the plugins directory?

if you look in wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-control.php, what is the version number in that file?

Hi.

Looked at server folders ... def. just the one called 'simple-press'. sp-control.php says 'SPVERSION 5.5.9' .

What's is it finding in the database, I wonder?

Deleted and re-installed 5.5.9.

Get "The plugin does not have a valid header." when using WP plugin installer routine. Return to Plugins list, activate Simple:Press, go to installed .. get version error message.

Regards, David
