re-installing wordpress fix the problem
after installing a new plugin, the counter stuck again on 1 update available, but all of them are up to date.
should i really do re-install every time I add a new plugin?
My website has this problem.
The admin bar shows 1 plugin update required.
The left admin navbar shows a red 1 against Updates and against Plugins.
I have a lot of plugins installed (not all are currently activated).
But they are all uptodate.
I tried activating a different theme and the problem persisted.
So for me it’s not a theme-specific issue.
What prompts the display of the plugin update indicator?
Is there a counter in the database somewhere that I could reset with phpMyadmin?
That would be easier than reinstalling WordPress to fix the problem.
I haven’t included a link to the site because the problem is only visible to logged on authorised users.
@adrian
This usually happens when a theme package a plugin inside it. I still have the same issue on other (premium) theme, but I deal with it (ignore it)
Thanks for the suggestion.
I am using the grapheme theme which used to bundle some shortcode definitions.
In the latest version of grapheme they removed the shortcodes from the theme and packaged them as a separate plugin.
I have that plugin installed so I tried removing it.
That didn’t fix the problem.
Hopefully some wordpress expert will read this and explain how the count of pending updates is calculated.
Then we might figure out a way to resolve the problem.
