Incorrect Version Number Format

    I understand the status of this plugin, and I’m even considering adopting it. This is an FYI that the version ID “v3.5.5″ does not conform to the expectations of the version_compare() function. The letter “v” results in this version ID essentially being null, so any version check shows this as older than it really is.

    This is seen when security software is checking for plugins that might be subject to vulnerabilities. Even though I’m running v3.5.5, the security plugin that I use reports:

    Find My Blocks plugin <= 3.3.2 – Private Post Titles Disclosure vulnerability. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 3.4.0.

    The solution is for the plugin to get this one character “v” removed. *sigh* We can hack the “v” out in our own installations but security software might then see the plugin as being modified and that could trigger a different warning.

    So, no suggestions, just a FYI.

    Thank you Tony! I’ve just adopted Find My Blocks. You can expect the version number to be fixed in my first update ??
