GNOME ignore extension incompatibility

I use gnome-tweak to turn the extensions on and off.

With the upgrade to 3.14, all of the stopped working, while they in fact could. The only problem is that the version string is not present in extension.json file.

Can I tell gnome-tweak to just ignore that?

Re: GNOME ignore extension incompatibility

I'm not sure if this would work to you but I found this article that may help to you:

All of my extensions stopped working the moment U upgraded to 3.14, which broke my work-flow sending me back to a bare-bone system where navigating around became a challenge. There is an easy fix though, thanks to World Of Gnome.

Open the terminal and run this command:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell "disable-extension-version-validation" true 

What it does is disable the version validation.

Best Regards.
