Version 6.2.7 available but 3.2.7 downloaded

Same here… Please fix…

Looking into this and we have found that there is a bootstrap.php file included in the plugin that has a plugin header and adds an additional Website Tools by AddThis plugin that can be activated as a separate plugin within the same plugin folder.

It looks like the version number for the plugin header on bootstrap.php needs to be bumped to 6.2.7 instead of 3.2.7

I confirm. Actually yesterday I’ve renamed the bootstrap.php file to php.old to get rid of it. Waiting for a fix

@allenmcnichols thank you for this info.

same here
@addthis team please fix your plugin

I’d recommend you to install AddThis directly to WP without using the plugin.

The fix is simple to put in place until a new update is release that bumps the version in the helper plugin.

1. Go to Plugins -> Plugin File Editor ( If enabled )
2. From the drop down at the top right select “Website Tools by AddThis” and click the select button
3. Edit line 31 and change the following:
* Version: 3.2.7
to say this:
* Version: 6.2.7
4. Click update file
5. Return to the installed plugins and check that the plugin no longer shows an update and is now version 6.2.7
6. Check your updates as well to confirm

Issue resolved until the next update.

I’ve already made this change myself, but the weird thing is that the plugin changelog reports 3.2.7 even though the version is declared as 6.2.7
That’s why I decided to rename the bootstrap file

The changelog is also affected by the bootstrap file not being bumped up in version number. I think this was just an oversite when the plugin was updated and it should be 6.2.7

Instead, I wouldn’t rename that bootstrap.php file, just change the version in the plugin header. When the next release of this plugin is made and this issue is addressed, it should be fixed and set to match the current version.

What is this for joke???

Please, fix it fast, please….

So… we solved this by downgrading the version number of the entire plugin to 3.2.7 instead of just addressing the underlying version number issue. Ok then.
