They’re often annoying to uninstall properly. * Thread Starter [jeffreyfrankel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreyfrankel/) * (@jeffreyfrankel) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beat-testing-email/#post-8537288) * I have never installed a beta version pluggin. I have always looked at the reviews and checked that it has been updated within the last six months, and that it is compatible with the wordpress version I am using. * Moderator [Marius L. J.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clorith/) * (@clorith) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beat-testing-email/#post-8537964) * What Mika is referring to, is the plugin that allows you to test new versions of WordPress before they are released (usually done by using the Beta Tester plugin at [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/)), as once you’ve used to go on the beta track once, it can often be frustrating to stop using test versions again. * Thread Starter [jeffreyfrankel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreyfrankel/) * (@jeffreyfrankel) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beat-testing-email/#post-8538025) * I do not test new versions of plugins nor do I test new versions of wordpress nor do I download any kind of application that is referred to as a beta. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beat-testing-email/#post-8544792) * Then I really have no idea how that happened 🙁 _something_ changed you to the beta release. * If your site is on 4.7 then there’s nothing to worry about. If you’re not getting emails 2x a day about the beta updates, you’re good 🙂 * [Alec Rust](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alecrust/) * (@alecrust) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beat-testing-email/#post-8613406) * I also have received this email: * ——————- WordPress site: [https://www.contessa32experience.com/](https://www.contessa32experience.com/) The following plugins failed to update: * FAILED: EWWW Image Optimizer BETA TESTING? ============= This debugging email is sent when you are using a development version of WordPress.

Something may be weirdly out of sync (normally that would be a DB issue… if you know you have DB caching, try flushing it?)
