Incorrect version number on Plugin (5 posts)

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum... I filed a bug report about a week ago and never got a reply.

    A plugin I have in the extend directory is doing something wierd. Ive recently updated it from 0.8 to 0.8.1

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-dashboard-widget/

    - The FYI code on the right isn't whats on the readme file - it almost seems to have combined the readme text from the 0.8 version AND the 0.8.1 version.
    - The version history doesn't show a 0.8.1 version - but when you click download, it serves you the 0.8.1 version anyway.
    - The 0.8.1 version isn't being served out via the automatic plugin updates - probably because the system still think its at version 0.8

    Can anyone give me a clue why this is happening? If its a mistake Ive made (this is my first plugin release so its possible!) then let me know and I'll fix it!

    Regards
    Chris

    hey chris

    Have in mind that when u make a new release, update the version number in the main php file as well, so in your case go to facebook-dashboard-widget\fdw.php and change Version: 0.8 to Version: 0.8.1

    That will solve your problem.

    You may also run your txt file in validator.

    I'm having the same problem with http://www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easysms

    It still says 0.1 and I've changed my version numbers since. I added the latest stable tag in the readme to both my tag directory and trunk directory. Thanks for your help!

    Fixed it. I wasn't changing it on the actual plugin file.
