Version Info

By alpipego

Description

This plugin displays the current WordPress version number along with the following environment in the admin footer:

  • Current WordPress version info, if there is an update available it displays the current and latest versions side by side
  • PHP version
  • Web Server used
  • MySQL version

What’s the reason for building this Plugin

I always disliked the fact that WordPress does not display the current version number in the footer whenever there is a new release.

If you are a plugin developer and a user experiences a problem, they could install this plugin and send you a screenshot of their admin footer (or copy the text of course) to inform you about the cornerstones of their setup.

Screenshots

  • Default admin footer showing you the current (latest) Wordpress version
  • After activation you will get a lot more info in your admin footer
  • Default admin footer when you are not running the latest version of WordPress
  • If this plugin is active, you will see your currently installed version along the update info (and the additional info this plugin provides)

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin to your plugins directory (possibly /wp-content/plugins/), or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‹Plugins› screen in WordPress

FAQ

Footer Version Info is not showing on mobile

common.css hides the admin-footer on viewports smaller than 783px. To show the footer also on small viewports, add the following to a mu-plugin or your theme’s functions.php, etc.

add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', function () {
    wp_add_inline_style('common', '@media screen and (max-width: 782px){#wpfooter {display: block;}}');
    wp_add_inline_style('admin-menu', '@media only screen and (max-width: 960px){.auto-fold #wpfooter{margin-left: 0px;}}');
});

Simple but very useful

Simple but very useful plugin. Work as expected. No ads, no push to buy a pro version (there is none AFAIK).

Useful.

Way more information than I know how to use, but someday when I'm troubleshooting, I'm sure it will save me a lot of time looking it up elsewhere. All I really wanted was a quick way to get version numbers, and I see I also got memory, RAM and CPU, which will be great for comparisons before and after installing plugins, changing Web hosts, etc. I agree with the reviewer who requested PayPal in order to make a donation. The donation link takes me to a payment processor I never heard of, and when I decided to go ahead (what the heck, the credit card I'll use expires soon anyway), my bank declined the transaction. So I would have donated, but I'm not putting in a second credit card. I'll check again after I do taxes and decide how much money I have to spare. I want to donate to a number of plugin creators once I actually have an income stream.
