Updating MyBB 1.6 plugins to be compatible with 1.8
If youre upgrading from MyBB 1.6 to 1.8 and want your current plugins to work you have two options.
Wait for the plugin creator to make an update.
Attempt to update the plugin yourself.
If youre like most forum owners and cant possibly wait one second longer, then try changing the plugin compatibility by making an edit to the plugin file.
How to change the compatibility of a MyBB plugin.
Keep in mind that doing the following change does not guarantee the plugin will work.
If the plugin still does not work then you will need to wait for the plugin author to make an update as it requires major code changes.
Step 1 disable plugins
Step 4 enable the plugin
And thats it, folks!
