I need to run some custom code every time that I update EME to a new version. What’s the best way to get the EME version number for comparison?
I think you misunderstood me. I want to find (via PHP) the version number for your plugin, Events Made Easy. I’m guessing it’s stored in WP’s options somewhere. Looking under the hood in the plugin code, I found reference to an option named “eme_version”, but if I’m reading the code correctly, that’s the database version. I’d like to track the plugin version. How can I find that?
Isn’t the version number something that you store in the WordPress settings yourself? Or am I misunderstanding the process, and it’s stored by WP without your intervention? I’m still learning how plugins interact with the WP core.
Indeed, I don’t store that version myself. The eme_version is something for myself, not something wp uses to check the version. I think they check the version in the readme.txt …
Although … you can check the readme.txt file of the plugin, it contains the version number:
Stable tag: 1.5.2
After some digging, I found that WP provides easy access to lots of details about installed plugins:
