What the author says it does

Very lightweight and simple plugin that displays the currently installed PHP/MySQL version in the “At a Glance” admin dashboard widget.

In the latest plugin version you can also view the current MySQL version when hovering over the PHP version text. We chose to implement it this way as you may not need to know the MySQL version as often as the PHP version, and it just adds unnecessary visual noise.

Just hover over the PHP version label to display the installed MySQL version.

Also, on some Windows based servers the returned MySQL version can be displayed with a 5.5.5- prefix which can be a little annoying, so this is removed for convenience.

Please rate this Plugin if you find it useful. It only takes a moment but it’s very much appreciated. 🙂

And here’s how you can help support our open source work. We couldn’t do this without you!

Latest changelog entry

1.7 – May 7, 2021

  • Fixed minor caching issue preventing PHP version displaying straight away (unless you did a hard browser refresh) when upgrading plugin from v1.5 to v1.6. This is fixed in v1.7.

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
