Upgrade Notification by Email
Actual version: 0.2 testing
Sends daily notification at admins’ email if installation of Wordpress is out of date
Do you want to buy me a beer for saving your time? 
== Description ==
This plugin is for you if you don’t look inside of your Admin Panel every day (for example you have tens of wordpress installations) but still want to have wordpress up to date. After installation plugin will check every day if newer version of wordpress is available and if yes, will send email to blog’s admin with notification.
== Installation ==
1. Like every plugin, download zip file
2. Upload to /wp-content/plugins
3. Activate it.
4. Wait for notifications
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Newer version of wordpress is available but I don’t get emails =
Check your spam folder in email account
= I’ve got newest version but plugin sends me notifications, which says that i have installed wordpress in strange version ‘abc’ =
This is caused by plugin WP Security Scan. Deactivate it or look into its code and deacctivate this place, which changes variable $wp_version into string ‘abc’.

For this moment no .pot file is provided

Hello,
Definitely a useful plugin.
The only problem is that the message in the mail says: “The plugin Upgrade Notification by Email noticed that at Wordpress server is available newer version of blogging software than this, which is installed at Home. Please upgrade it in your admin panel. You have abc and newest is 2.8.4″.
Not sure where the “abc” comes from?
Could this be caused by having removed the version number from the footer? The current version 2.8.4 still displays correctly on the dashboard, though.
BTW, wrt plugin notifications, there is already a plugin: http://www.svenkubiak.de/mail-on-update/
Thanks.
@gundo: you didn’t look into FAQ
i will write again

oops. Didn’t see the readme. Anyway, seems to work now
Thanks.
@gundo: how did you changed this? you deactivated wp security scan, or you found inside function which changes wp_version? if second, where is it exactly? because i didn’t found
I edited out some lines (lines 103-…) in functions.php of the security plugin:
function mrt_remove_wp_version()
{
#if (!is_admin()) {
# global $wp_version;
# $wp_version = ‘$wp_version’;
# }
}
Maybe not the best method, but that’s what I did so far.

Konrad- Thanks for this helpful plugin!
A “test email” function would be nice. It would allow the user to confirm that their webserver can send emails. I tested mine by changing the primary conditional in version 0.2 from… ‘if ($zm == “upgrade”) {‘ … to … ‘if ($zm != “upgrade”) {‘ temporarily. I changed it back after receiving the email. Keep up the good work,
