Hi if all you want is to get open layers back. Just upgrade the plugin 
(plugins\manage and install plugins\   select  open layers plugin then upgrade.
The layers move to the WEB menu from the PLUGINS menu across the top, but other 
than that they are identical, and I think there are improvements in how the 
open layers plugin works as well - seems to be more stable. I cant tell which 
OSM plugin you need but I guess they will have been upgraded too.

cheers

Subject: [Qgis-user] Reverting to version 2.2 from 2.4

Hi all,

I'm using a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I downloaded the installer 
(osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe) in the fall of 2013 when I purchased, "Learning QGIS 
2.0" book in the fall of 2013. I only recently installed it and was slightly 
surprised to see version 2.2 install instead of 2.0. I assumed this would not 
be an issue for the tutorials I was going to use to teach myself the program.

I was following one particular QGIS tutorial online through Canvas when I was 
required to install a package in order to complete the task. As a result QGIS 
upgraded to version 2.4, which broke some plug-ins (specifically open layers, 
OSM) that I was using.

I would like to know what is the best method to complete the following tasks:

(1). Remove version 2.4 and ensure there are no hooks remaining on my computer
(2). Re-install version 2.2 (I'm assuming it would be download it from here: 
http://qgis.org/downloads/ , specifically the file 
QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.2.0-1-Setup-x86_64.exe, dated February 26, 2014)
(3). Ensure that adding packages in the future doesn't automatically upgrade my 
version to 2.2 to 2.X.

I can understand the generic installer I was using a few months ago to install 
what I thought was 2.0 actually installed 2.2 but I think I should have been 
asked/warned about the version change from 2.2 to 2.4. Thanks.

Laura
