I’m looking for breadcrums for my new website. I did a search in ClassicPress:
Next, I did a search in the CP forums for breadcrumbs and all the pages were 404.
So I searched online. I found a plugin by Justin Tadlock. The error message was confusing.
So, I checked my updates:
I’m even more confused. It says my ClassicPress version is 6.2.9 and the upload requires version 6.8.
My WordPress is 7.0 and ClassicPress is 2.7.
You confuse everyone with this statement:
>My WordPress is 7.0 and ClassicPress is 2.7.
You can’t be running both at the same time.
@timkaye I think what they mean is they migrated to CP from WP 7.0, however this is irrelevant. when you are on CP you do not have WP anymore.
this means plugins working on WP might not work on CP and might not be able to be installed.
@RanWest this plugin here works - it allows you to use a shortcode to display breadcrumbs (you can either place it on a page manually or in a template, it has instructions for both).
I added that because I got a nag to update WP 6.8.x when I was using CP 2.7
@RanWest please can you share wp-includes/version.php of your CP installation?
Originally, I installed WP 6.x.x, then 2017 theme, Switch to CP Plugin, and then the CP theme, a child theme, and the plugins.
I have reinstalled since then. $cp_version = '2.7.0+migration.20260325'; is the current version.
You are correct. Since you understand this, please explain this Update page.
@RanWest CP v2 was forked from WP 6.2.9.
To check for compatibility with WP plugins it exposes the value of the WP version it was forked from because we assume that any plugin or theme asking for an higher WP version has functions that might break the site.
CP does this check every time you install OR upload a WP plugin/theme.
The plugin you are trying to upload requires an higer version of WP than the one declared by CP for compatibility so it tells you exactly that.
There is a workaround that requires you to go into the plugin code before uploading and changing the Requires WP header - but that is a risk because the plugin might really have functions that do not work in CP or might break your site so I would advise not to.
