Thanks for this amazing Plugin, you help me a lot..
THANKS AGAIN!!!
Thanks for this great plugin Jeff. Just one question. I upgraded the plugin to 2.1 with no issues. WP was still on version 2.9 at the time I upgraded the plugin. I have since upgraded to WP 3.0 and had no issues. Today I noticed when I click on the Traffic Getting link inside my WP instead of taking me to a page that shows me how well my site is optimized and any tips for improvement it tells me “Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or Greater” then it gives me a couple of links where I can upgrade to WP 2.7 and latest version of WP. What can I do to straighten this out and get my Traffic Getting plugin running properly again?
Thanks in Advance,
JM
Are you using the newest version of TGSP? It shold be version 2.1
If not, please download it; emails with the new passwords were sent to the list on 5/24
Jeff,
Yes, I upgraded to version 2.1 when WP was still using WP2.9 and had not yet released WP 3.0.
Once WP 3.0 was released, I upgraded to 3.0. It was after this upgrade that I began to get the message I posted above.
My guys have tried to duplicate your error and don’t seem to be having an issue.
Here’s what they did:
1. Installed the latest version of TGSP 2.1 on a WordPress blog, version 2.9.2
2. Activated TGSP, checked to make sure it was working.
3. Upgraded WordPress to version 3.0
4. Went to TGSP page
5. Installed and activated a recommended plugin
6. Applied blog tweaks.
Yes, I did the same thing and applied the blog tweaks and everything was fine for a few days. Then, after a few days, when I clicked on Traffic Getting to see my blog optimization meter and if there were any tips etc. I got the message:
Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!
You must upgrade WordPress to 2.7 or greater to use this plugin. Please remember to backup your blog’s database and files before upgrading your blog.

What is SEO?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. Typically, the earlier a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. (read more at Wikipedia)

Thanks for the quick support by the way. Any help is appreciated.
Jeff,
I have also experienced the same thing as JM. What I believed solved my issue was downloading the plugin from your site (well the email about version 2.1) and reloading through the installation tutorial.
JM, I hope this helps!
Thanks Smith. I tried deleting the 2.1 plugin and re-downloading it and activating it by following the instructions but I still get the message that I need to upgrade to WP 2.7 or greater. Everything was working fine until I upgraded to WP3.0 from 2.9. So, not sure why I am getting this.
Please try the new beta on our download page… it bypasses the version check and may help

For what it’s worth, I installed the Traffic Getting plugin to another WordPress 3.0 website I own and I get the same message – That I need to update to WP2.7 or higher. I then reinstalled WP 3.0 update and still no change. So, not an isolated incident.
The new beta for TGSP may help

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your software!
[1] could you give simple step-by-step on how to backup? [the instructions on WP site are too techie] also, do i do it from my cpanel , or…?
[2] i will be upgrading from your software’s previous version… how would I use the new ‘permalink structure’ so my previous permalinks will all work ok?
Thx,
Izzy
Sorry, but the only tutorial we have for backing up wp is from their own site. Your hosting company may be able to help.
TGSP either allows you to not install the new permaling structure durung installation or it has a 301 plugin that should automatically redirect your old permalinks to the new one..
Make sure you test them after the changes… and make sure you back up your site first so you can always reverse the changes!
Thanks Jeff 4 speedy reply – amazing support here!
if the backup can be done via my cpanel then I could involve my hosting, right?
implied is that the NEW permalink structure is better for seo, is that correct? if so, I would prefer to try it out that way… (what part of my site do i need to backup for this purpose?)
Thx again,
Izzy
Sorry, Just got back from a long vacation!
Yes, your hosting company shoudl be able to offer help with backing up your wp blog.
Back up the entire blog.
Hi Jeff,
…in ‘wp backup tutorials’, the WP site gives 14 steps!! to update to WP 3.0… its really above my head to even prepare to install your software…:(
…really, whats if I just used the automated upgrade option in my wp-admin… wouldn’t that just work fine?? [would i have to do all that file deleting and risk messing up my blog etc...?]
…as thats whats stopping me being able to install your software…
Thanks for any advice…
Izzy
You can use the Automatic Upgrade, but first you should make sure you back up your blog in case something goes wrong. Install a plugin like DB Backup to save a copy of your database, then download the contents of your wp-content folder. After that, you should be ready to upgrade automatically.
Hi Jeff,
(my previous post questions are still relevant, but) I did it on a leap of trust (upgrading to WP3.0 – i think from a before WP 2.7 version) …
now I get this message: “Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!”
So , I tried a number of times reinstalling WP3.0 AND TGSP (de+reactivating etc. as per your website instructions) still to no avail…
Thanks any help to get it working,
Izzy
You may wish to try the new “no version check” version of TGSP,…. but make sure you back up your blog first.

Thanks Jeff. Looks like the beta upgrade did the trick so far
Hi Jeff
I Automatic Upgraded my wp from 2.8 to 3.0, and I did back up of my blog before I upgraded to 3.0. but I am not sure if the file format of the back up is right kelmorco_wp02_wp_20100718_686.sql.gz
But if it is what is my nest step?
Do I delete all the Traffic Pluins and install again?
Thanks
Ransy
