If you don't support 3.8.3 why is this listed in the notes of your most recent update?

Compatibility with WordPress 3.8.3: 100% (according to its author)

Might want to avoid this in the future.

Shows up in the WP update panel.

I planned on upgrading to 3.9 anyway, but I typically like to do it in batches, upgrade plugins first then make sure everything's working as it should, then upgrade wordpress so that I can have a buffer and an idea of what might have broken what.

Maybe it's better to do it the other way around? Idk just how I've been doing things.

Ah. I believe you will find that the WordPress update engine puts that line there and it uses whatever version you happen to be installing onto. Nothing we can do about that sadly.

I think in most cases updating WP first would be recommended. It is unlikely that dependency would ever go the other way!smile

Mmm seems strange to me that they (WP) puts the line (according to its author) at the end if there's nothing that you guys do to warrant it being there. Anyway, you're right it's probably best to switch my upgrade flow around.

Well to be strictly 'official' to appear in the upgrade screen you have to host your plugin on the WordPress org plugin repository which we do not. We basically had to write our own code to ride on the back of the WP update system so - if I understand it correctly, WordPress doesn't actually know about us showing up there and jjust does the best it can! It assumes 100% because we tell it we are good to be updated.

Mr Papa can tell us more if I got any of this wrong!

unfortunately, wp plugin api doesn let us explicitly list which versions are supported...  we can only list a version we are compatible up to...  so we list 3.9...  we can not say > 3.9...  they keep talking about updating it...  still, it should have also read to you that wp 3.9 was required... was that not shown?  though thinking about it, wp may require you to look at the details popup to see the required version...
