In order to bypass the extensions version validation, you just need to set the Shell gsetting "disable-extension-version-validation". For that, open a terminal and run: gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true OR graphically, you can use "dconf-editor" and find the "disable-extension-version-validation" setting under / org / gnome / shell. Let us know how it goes for you.
