I am trying to: Install a new site based on existing Reference Sites, but with the new BETA plugins

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: Unfortunately, this is implemented on a local site

I expected to see: The CRED plugin being recognised by the Reference Sites plugin

Instead, I got: A total lack of recognition, forcing me to revert to stable versions. This has ramifications for the future. Do the reference sites become unusable when the BETAs become stable, or will an amendment be made to recognise them (this has testing ramifications)? Also, I would prefer to implement the new BETA plugins as I understand that they are close to being released as stable.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - Beta plugins to install the reference sites is not supported but you can use this workaround if you want to play with reference sites using Beta plugins.

- Install the reference site with stable plugins
- Once installed, deactivate and delete the stable plugins
- Download and install the Beta plugins to reference site

Please note that - still, reference sites will not be 100% ready to use with Beta plugins, you may find something is broken or not working ,this is known to us as the new version has lot of major changes and features added to implement new M2M relationship.

Actually - The work is under progress to make reference sites 100% compatible with next release.
