# Example templates not working – getting WP debug error

 * Hi,
 * The plugin works great when I’m using one of the default templates. However, 
   when I switch over to use a template like example-basic-html01.php or any of 
   the other example templates, it breaks when trying to view the PDF on a link 
   like so /?gf_pdf=1&fid=2&lid=17&template=example-basic-html01.php
 * Instead of a PDF, I just get a blank page. I turned on WP debug and I got the
   following error:
 * > Call to undefined method GFCommon::is_currency_decimal_dot()
 * I am on an old php version (5.2.17). Is that what’s causing this issue?

 * I just tested it another server with PHP 5.4 and everything appears to be working
   fine.
 * Can I assume this issue is caused by the old php version and if so then what 
   can be done about it? (besides upgrading PHP which sadly isn’t an option)

 * Hi,
 * Can you let me know what version of Gravity Forms and Gravity PDF you are currently
   using?
 * Based on that error I don’t think the issue is with PHP.
 * Can you upgrade to the latest version of Gravity Forms (currently 1.9.1.2) on
   the server you have a problem with and let me know if the problem persists?

 * Duurrr, I just upgraded gravity forms from 1.8 to 1.9.1.2 and everything works
   fine now.
 * Thanks for the help. I’ll close this out now.

 * Thanks Murphy. We’ll take a look at fixing the backwards compatibility issue 
   with 1.8 too.

 * [@ccdsiu2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ccdsiu2/): Try upgrading to the
   latest version of Gravity Forms (1.9.1.2). It worked for Murphy.
 * As to the backwards compatibility issue? Not yet (our lead developer is on leave
   at the moment).

 * [@ccdsiu2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ccdsiu2/) what is the exact version
   of Gravity Forms 1.8 you are using?

 * Thanks. I found 1.8.4+ (or there abouts) introduces this new function. Previous
   versions don’t have it and have running into problems. We’ll be patching this
   in our next release.

 * We’re just waiting on access to a premium plugin that had a bug report. Once 
   we find and resolve that issue well be releasing the update. It will likely be
   this time next week.
