    Hi there,

    My first question is why are you looking to run on an older version of WordPress?

    I wrote a WordPress plugin. Then I updated WordPress. And the plugin stopped working. I want to try it on an old version of wordpress – does it work on the old version or not.

    Ah gotcha. Sounds like you are trying to do this on a live site, correct? Not a staging or testing site?

    One thing that comes to mind would be an auto update PHP constant that could be doing that but hard to say since it was just a simple, clean installation of WordPress, right? No other plugins?

    I use XAMPP and I install wordpress here. Yes, first I install WP (I unzip zip file with WP) and later inslall plugins.

    Ah, ok. So you’re using a local installation at the moment. Got it.

    So, one thing that comes to mind would be adding a random .git or a .svn folder at the root of the install (where you have those wp files) so it doesn’t update it. WordPress does check if it is being version controlled from what I can recall and won’t run those if it is using version control. The other might be to change the folder/file permissions so it doesn’t run an update for core files. That I can’t recall how to do on a local Windows installation since it’s been many, many years since I had to do that.
