    That Was Then, This Is Now
    What with the ongoing Admin UI changes of late, many additions to capability, and removal of capabilities rendered redundant, are incorporated into the code of new plugin versions. Some of these are significant departures from previous versions targeted to older editions of WordPress.

    Staying Current (It’s Important)
    Being a careful WordPress user, I am diligent about keeping its code up-to-date. Seems with each version a database update is in order so, if there are more than one version of WordPress on our server, keeping their databases separated is essential. Therefore, I only maintain the current version and one major version back from that upon which to test. The WordPress stats indicate that these cover greater than 75% of installs.

    Backward Compatibility And The Pitfalls Thereof
    Versions older than these are updated with the new code where applicable. Some code is universal across versions, but other things are an extrapolation and may not exactly fit an older WordPress version as well as they do a current one where they can be fully tested.

    A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
    So, if you have a feature request, are asking a question or reporting an anomaly, please be as specific as possible; providing the version number, other Admin plugins/themes activated, front-end theme used and screen grabs, so that I may better understand your environment and make an appropriate alteration.

    Stars In Everyone’s Eyes
    If I am successful in correcting an issue, please consider re-evaluating your Rating and also add your observation to the Compatibility (Works/Broken) section, so that others may benefit from your experience.

    Thanks!
