Deze plugin **is niet getest met de laatste 3 grotere versies van WordPress**. Mogelijk
wordt het niet meer onderhouden of ondersteund. Ook kunnen er compatibiliteitsproblemen
ontstaan wanneer het wordt gebruikt met recentere versies van WordPress.

## Beschrijving

If you don’t check your admin panel on your WordPress install very often (maybe 
because you prefer to use remote publishing) or you want to make sure
 that your
clients’ WordPress installations are updated, then this is the plugin for you. You
don’t have to login to your admin panel regularly, suscribe to an RSS feed, or do
anything apart from installing this plugin to be notified when an update to WordPress
is released.

All you have to do is install Update Notifier and forget it until you receive an
email telling you to update.

To change Update Notifier’s options, go to Update Notifier under the main Settings
menu. From there you can add a secondary email address
 which will also receive 
update notifications and you can activate update notifications for themes and plugins.

## Installatie

 1. Download the .zip file
 2. Upload and install via the Add New plugin submenu in WordPress
 3. Activate the plugin
 4. (Optional) Go to Update Notifier submenu in the Settings menu and set your preferred
    settings for Update Notifier
 5. Wait for an email when the next version of WordPress is released

## FAQ

  I have the plugin enabled on my WordPress installation, but I’m not receiving 
emails when a new update is released. Why?

Try using the test email functionality on the Update Notifier settings page to see
if you can receive emails from Update Notifier at all.

Make sure that the admin email address (see General Settings in WordPress) is set
correctly to your email address.

Otherwise, have you tried looking in your spam folder? To prevent Update Notifier
emails going into your spam you should set up a filter making
 sure that emails 
with the subject: “Updates are available for your WordPress site”, are not placed
in your spam folder.

  Why am I receiving notifications telling me to upgrade from version ‘abc’ (or 
similar)?

**NB:** This should be fixed as of 1.4.1, if you continue to encounter any issues
please get in contact via the support forum.

You probably have a plugin installed which is changing the global `$wp_version` 
variable. This means that when WordPress does its automatic check
 for updates it
asks wordpress.org if there are versions newer than ‘abc’, obviously ‘abc’ doesn’t
exist and so the response is that an update is available (even if your site already
has the latest version of WordPress!). This response is stored by WordPress and 
when Update Notifier checks this stored value it sees that allegedly an update available
and sends an unnecessary email notification.

For example the WP Security Scan plugin changes the internal version to ‘abc’, to
disable this comment out line 53 of securityscan.php
 which reads `add_action("init",
mrt_remove_wp_version,1);`
