# bloginfo(version) reports wrong version

 * I’ve been all over the code – and as far as I see bloginfo(version) should directly
   report the value stored in the global variable $wp_version
 * Said global being defined in wp-admin/version.php
 * The value set in version.php is confirmed to be 2.5.1 however all checks of this
   variable, by bloginfo function or elsewhere such as the version checking script,
   reports back 2.5
 * I even went so far as to temporarily edit version.php so that $wp_version equaled‘
   AbCdEfG-2.5.1’ and still the system says 2.5 – I also removed a “;” to cause 
   a deliberate error, so as to confirm the file is really being accessed. It is.
 * I’m stumped…

 * Hi! I have the same problem. I found that if you comment the line:
 * > add_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘update_nag’, 3 );
 * in the file wp-includes/update.php, the message is no longer shown.
    I did this
   because I dont want my collaborators to see a message in the “Write new post”
   page telling them to warn me about an upgrade. But Im sure I didnt solve the 
   problem.
 * Hope its usefull

 * Do you have any caching in place? Such as an object cache?

 * I have the exact same problem. `$wp_version` equals `"2.5.1"` in wp-admin/version.
   php but something must have overwritten it because when the template is displayed,`
   $wp_version` equals **`"2.5"`**!
