I was applying a couple of minor changes to the site and decided to update the plugins while I was at it, but going through the process of upgrading WP and ensuring everything is in working order would have been too involved for the time allocated. We'll probably upgrade in the new year. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/upgraded-to-latest-version-v161-says-wordpress-28-or-greater-is-needed#post-43452 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:53:49 +0000 Carl Hancock 43452@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Out of curiosity why can't these old sites be upgraded to WordPress v3.2.1? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/upgraded-to-latest-version-v161-says-wordpress-28-or-greater-is-needed#post-43417 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 04:46:16 +0000 jonnocohen 43417@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi PeterK</p> <p>I've just had the same problem as you, after updating Gravity Forms on a client's site yesterday, and I found this thread here. We can't upgrade Wordpress right now, but luckily I found a copy of 1.5.2.8 on my hard drive, which is working fine for now.</p> <p>If you're still looking for it, just mail me on <a href="mailto:cohen.jonno@gmail.com">cohen.jonno@gmail.com</a>. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/upgraded-to-latest-version-v161-says-wordpress-28-or-greater-is-needed#post-42689 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:34:37 +0000 Chris Hajer 42689@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Old plugin versions are not available for download that I know of.

The plugin requirements on the in the footer of the website state:</p> <blockquote><p> Gravity Forms requires a minimum of WordPress version 3.2, MySQL 5 and PHP 5 in order to function properly. Please note that Gravity Forms is not compatible with the WordPress.com hosted service.</p> <p>2.8 and 2.9.2 are both too old to function properly.
