MyBB Sitemap Plugin – Getting an Error “This plugin is incompatible with MyBB 1.x.x”

I recently decided to upgrade my “Sitemap Generator by mavericck” plugin to the latest version. I downloaded the plugin and uploaded all the files to the right places. But when I tried to enable the plugin in MyBB control panel, I got this error,

“This plugin is incompatible with MyBB 1.x.x”

I tried to find the solution on the internet but I was not so lucky. After searching for many hours, I finally decided to quit and use the old version. [But I did open one post in MyBB community and asked for help].

The very next day, someone replied and told me a very simple solution which actually worked.

So if you have this problem, then here is what you need to do:

Download and open this file “sitemap_generator.php” in any editor you use.

[You will find this file here]:

\inc\plugins

Now look for this piece of code:

“compatibility” => “1xxx”

We need to change this value,

“1xxx”

To the version of MyBB that we are using.

For example: if you are using MyBB 1.2.12, then change the code to look like this,

“compatibility” => “1212“
