Upgrading to 1.3 Dead

[vcor]

I just updated my plugin from Version 1.1.7.1 to 1.3. I have PHP 5.3 and now realize 1.3 doesn’t work with PHP 5.3. At some point I’ll upgrade to a newer PHP, but right now my site is down – i.e. no one can log in. Is there anyway to go back to 1.1.7.1 pro with all my prior settings? I’ll try a re-install from a backup, but it’s messy. Really wish it would not install if the PHP version is not correct rather than just killing User Meta Pro.

P.S. I realize it would be great to have the latest PHP version, but new versions always breaks many plugins and other issues taking weeks to fix other’s bugs and issues. Please consider not forcing users to new PHP versions.

P.P.S I even updated to v1.3 on my test site with PHP 5.6 and it does the same thing – login gone and can’t even access admin. Arggg.

Hello,

In UMP-1.3, please try with commenting line 14 and 15 in user-meta.php file. In fact, we bump up PHP version because one of the library (reCaptcha) uses higher PHP version. So, PHP-5.3 should work well when reCaptcha is not used. For the test site, try to revalidate your license.

Thanks.

Thanks for the fast answer. Turns out test site issues are not related to UMP (but unresolved yet).

For my live site after commenting out the PHP version check, it turns out quite a few other files have been changed that no longer work under PHP 5.3. After modifying the 3 more files to use older PHP pre 5.4 array style, I gave up on this.

I’ve upgraded the site to PHP 5.6, and UMP 1.3 activates, but no Pro version and all my prior settings seem lost. There was no option to register it either to go from normal to pro. I reloaded 1.1.7.1 from my backup and got everything back after re-registering. Is there some other trick required when going from 1.1.7 to 1.3 that I may have missed? Perhaps I need to purchase another license for 1.3 (I bought 1.1.7 a few years ago)?
