 * My plugin work fine on WP version 4.9.8 and you are the first person to report
   this issue. Is it possible that you have some plugin or added code that is hiding
   or concealing your WP version in some way?

 * Good to know that plugin is blocking the wp_version from all other plugins at
   activation time. I looked at the code and there is no other way around this issue
   other than to deactivate that wpblock plugin while you install any other plugins
   that need to check the wp_version variable on activation.
 * Thanks again for the follow-up 😉
