Wordpress Version Indicator

Post by simonmlewis »

Hi

We have been asked to look at a web site in Wordpress, but I think it's using a version old version.

It's not showing at the bottom of Plugins, as it just says to Update it.
Is there some specific place it will tell me the version?

It's not even mobile friendly, but that's possibly because the theme is about 3 years old.

Is there a plugin that can make a Wordpress site mobile friendly, or does it have to be a NEW theme that is mobile-friendly?

wp-includes/version.php contains the version in the $wp_version variable.

The person who has the web site, has updated their Wordpress or plugin I think, and the site is dead.
From what I recall, in this scenario they need their FTP, and have to rename each plugin folder to find which one has killed it. Am I right?

If the back end is still accessible, you can disable all the plugins and re-enable them one by one. Renaming the directories might work, but it might also cause new problems.
