Hi all, Just installed the latest versions of each of these plugins on **Discourse 3.4.6** and got these errors ![Error in Topic Voting Plugin](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/6/6/26658876d4ab4f07d46425fe0f94461b7f03f6b5.png) ![Error in Post Voting Plugin](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/4/8/e/48e5b405e200e9e853f1f1c2d168cf71b99edded.png) These errors completely crash Discourse and can only see a blank page. ---

Bummer! Maybe update Discourse then try again? Discourse is at 3.5.0.beta8-dev ---

It says up-to-date 🤔 ![Screenshot 2025-07-01 at 20-44-57 Administração - Fórum Dirigentes - Administração Pública](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/c/a/2caef289f18e99361c99237bcfe80ed31af2b372.png) ---

> [@philh](#): > > Discourse is at 3.5.0.beta8-dev For the `tests-passed` branch, but if you’re tracking `stable` then I think 3.4.6 is right ([3.4.6: Security fix release](https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-4-6-security-fix-release/370631)) There should be a compatibility file that ensures it doesn’t pull in anything from the plugin the main site isn’t ready for, but maybe that’s gone a little awry for this last one. Hopefully someone can identify what the issue is and smooth it out. 🤞 ---

True enough but Discourse dev approach is so rock solid I stay with tests-passed and have nearly zero issues. 🙂 Any chance @HandSpy_v3 is not using the official plugin? His OP references two plugins, like we used to have. ---

I’m using the Official plugins, just added in my .yml under ```plaintext hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: $home/plugins cmd: ... - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-topic-voting.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-post-voting.git ``` ---

@HandSpy_v3 You might change to tests-passed in app.yml per Discourse recommendation. ```plaintext params: db_default_text_search_config: "pg_catalog.english" ## Set db_shared_buffers to a max of 25% of the total memory. ## will be set automatically by bootstrap based on detected RAM, or you can override db_shared_buffers: "256MB" ## can improve sorting performance, but adds memory usage per-connection #db_work_mem: "40MB" ## Which Git revision should this container use? (default: tests-passed) #version: tests-passed ``` ---

Generally we try to add a compatibility file into plugins to avoid situations like this, will alert the team. Workaround is to check out an earlier version of the plugin on stable.
