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