Upgrading successfully – I think – yet site still references old versions
-
Sorry if this is a bit generic, but didn’t know exactly where to put it.
Using 3.0.5 – trying to upgrade several plugins and also upgrading WP to WP 3.1. After upgrading successfully either via Auto update or manually, My WP Admin still says I have older versions. Here’s a plugin example.
First, I disabled the plugin. Went through Auto update to upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.5.3. It appears to work. No Errors > Update success message. Go to Main Dash or Return to plugins list. These pages both still say that I have v2.5.1 installed. Hit refresh on the Browser/session. switched browsers. checked in IE and Chrome. Regardless, WP Dash still says I’m using 2.5.1 and that the plugin needs updating.
So I next tried manual upgrading. I deleting the plugin’s folder/files on my host copied across the 2.5.3. WP Dash > Plugins page is still showing the version as 2.5.1.
Uninstalled the plugin – First automatically. I checked that the folder had definitely been deleted on the server. It had. The plugin was uninstalled. Again, WP Dash > Plugins page is still it as installed with v2.5.1.
Then I manually installed the newer version of the plugin – WP Dash > Plugins page is still showing the version as 2.5.1.
I could even activate the new version. Of course WP is telling me the version is old still.
Get my drift?
I’ve had the exact same issue when trying to upgrade the Broken Link Checker plugin from v1.2.2 to 1.2.4
And I’ve tried auto-updating WP from 3.0.5 to 3.1 with the same results. I haven’t tried manually upgrading that.
Any help appreciated!
