joomla 1.7
k2 updated to version 2.6.0, and immediately there was an error -

Fatal error: Cannot make static method JModel::addIncludePath() non static in class K2Model in /home/pxxxxx/www/mysite.com/administrator/components/com_k2/models/model.php on line 40

in the backend, we can not act, constantly displays the indicated error, my site is dead, what to do? Help!

Hi. K2 only supports Joomla! 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0. Other versions of Joomla! are not supported in K2. 2.6. You should update Joomla! to 2.5 or go back to K2 2.5.7.

Same error here.
We cannot do anything!

Please help in how to reach our backoffice again
What can we do?

The release announcement states clearly that K2 2.6 is only compatible with Joomla! 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0 only. Try to go back to K2 2.5.7. If you have no admin access place the package contentns using FTP.

Hi, can you please give some more details how to fix this or how to get access to the backoffice? Our site is now offline and as we have no access to our backoffice we cannot deinstall the component. What should we change through FTP? We don't have K2 2.5.7.

Thanks in advance!

The error I get as soon as I logon to the backend is:

"Model Class cpanelModelCpanel not found in file"

....which is odd. I dont use cPanel to administer the backend of my K2 site. This error has ONLY occurred ever since I updated to the latest K2. I had updated to the latest Joomla, version 2.5.7, the week before K2 was updated.

While this error doesnt stop me administering in the backend in K2 or even in Joomla, it is a definite worry.

To the person who cannot get to the backend of their site any longer, you might contact your site hosting agent. I host my own stuff as a reseller through Hostgator. They keep automatic updates and can revert your site to an earlier version if needed. Your hosting agent may be able to do the same for you.

PS,

There was no announcement about compatibility when I updated. There was only the notice on the Joomla panel that there was an update to be had. You click on it and it says K2 and that is that. There was no notice at all.

I am using Joomla 2.5.7.

Hello,

Where can I find K2 2.5.7? Do I just need to exchange the files in the component directory?

thnx

For anyone using Joomla! 1.6/1.7 and getting this error the K2 2.5.7 package can be found at getk2.org/downloads/?f=K2_v2.5.7.zip

Thnx. So how to proceed? Do we need to look for the individual K2 files in the public HTML directory and replace them?
