i have collected about 200 github repos for discourse plugin /themes,is there any way to check the compatability with latest discouse version ? - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/Fakebook - git clone htt…

First, a lot of those are themes, and shouldn’t be installed via the app.yml file. Second, you shouldn’t install any plugin in Discourse by default. Everything you need to have a discussion forum comes included in the main software. Plugins should be added only after careful consideration, if the i…

I have deployed about 2 dozen communities for my clients and only hal…

yes i do got a lof clashes and i am not quite familiar ruby and quite reluctant to read code.so I wonder if there is already proven plugin and theme compatibility between them when you do have a requriment you can choose ,it do save a lot of time for participants of discourse community

The safest choice when You’re looking for most up to date compatibility is to use official plugins as those are often the ones tested to work with discourse by a relatively large user base and are more than likely to receive quick fixes in case something goes wrong.

i do know this pricinple but it sometime prevent the growing of our community
