Plugin outlets using site customizations not working after 1.6 upgrade

Hi there,

Thanks

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for your reply.

I appreciate all your help

Best Regards!

Backups from 1.5 should work on 1.5, but you can adapt your plugins to the new way.

Here is a very simple plugin that uses the same outlet you use. It was adapted by the man @eviltrout himself.
