Thanks very much. Will do.

whoops it’s at https://www.findajp.com/jpus/jp-conference-registration-mail-form/

Hi, what am I doing wrong, please? The download at the bottom of the form isn’t happening.

Thanks very much.

I just discovered that the plugin IS in the File Manager but it’s not showing up in wp-admin. Can I reinstall it from File Manager and if so, how? I appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you.

That must be my problem with 404s. Can’t complete a redirection from the network plugin.

Sent him your replies and he updated the site “to the latest stable Version of 4.4.2. The update made 3 plugins stop working” which he is working on. I’m sure they need updating too.

Thanks very much for your advice.

Thank you Andrew and Jon. I forwarded your comments and this is his reply:
“The issue here is not WordPress per se, the issue is really dependent on the plugins. The reason i said not to update WordPress is that most plugins are dependent on the version of WordPress.
IF you update WordPress, and the plugin is not compatible hence your site would not work until there is a stable update to the plugin. Also since most plugins and themes have been extensively customized , you would have to make sure that all the updates to the plugin and themes are merged into the new version accordingly. So like any customized software project, an update is not just a click of a button and everything is supposed to work right. When the site was built, it was done on the latest and stable version of WordPress.
For future updates and upgrades, this now falls under a maintenance contract that we can put in place if you want to keep the site current with version updates and updates to plugins etc.”

I can understand the maintenance contract but shouldn’t he bring it up to the current WP version before we launch? Our version is 4.3.3. Thanks again.
