I've checked this answer, but it didn't work for me.

I want to use the older version of xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin. I issued the following command. (as per the instructions in the referred answer)

sudo apt-get install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin 1.4

It resulted as this.

Can somebody guide me to install the older version of whisker menu which was a nice single-column menu bar?

Here how I downgrade a package. First look for available version:

apt-cache showpkg <pkg_name>

Check available version under Provides:. Then downgrade your package with

apt install <pkg_name>=<version>

By exemple for me:

apt-cache showpkg xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin

Returns:

Provides: 
2.3.1-1 - 
1.6.2-1 -

Finally to install version 1.6.2-1 (in case of 2.3.1-1 is installed)

apt install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin=1.6.2-1

Note that command can fails if some dependencies needs to be downgraded as well.
