# Plugin makes WordPress show update available

 * After installing this plugin, I kept seeing an update available in WordPress 
   in the Admin bar as well as on the Plugins tab, even though there would be no
   plugin available showing. So it was driving me nuts that I needed to “update”
   a plugin that wasn’t showing.
 * I had to move all my plugins to a new folder (disable all of them), and one by
   one, added them back in and found the culprit.
 * For some reason, this plugin sends an update available to WordPress, even though
   there isn’t one.

 * My humble apologies…. it wasn’t this plugin. Any plugin I put into the plugins
   folder will show that I have an update available even though I don’t.
 * I have no idea what is causing it.

 * Inspect the value of _site_transient_update_plugins in the wp_options table. 
   In particular, look at the ‘response’ section.

   Check Again button on the Dashboard > Updates page.
