 * I am on about a week old 3.0 latest release. Whenever I run your plugin, it gives
   me this message:
 * Error: Your current “WordPress Beta Tester plugin configuration” will downgrade
   your install to a previous version – Please reconfigure it.
 * When I click the hyperlinked “WordPress Beta Tester plugin configuration” it 
   just brings me right back to this same page. So I cannot update 3.0.
 * Anyone know what’s going on?

 * You need to configure the plugin.
 * On the plugin configuration page select the radio button next to: **Bleeding 
   edge nightlies** and then click on **Save Changes**

 * I have a bit opposite problem. The warning is the same, but it will not downgrade
   which I would like to do 😎
 * Both plugin options AND if plugin is disabled the updater will always update

 * [@mwillberg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwillberg/): I take it you have
   managed to upgrade to 3.1-alpha build?

 * I’ve got a similar problem;
    Even though I can upgrade, and am on the latest 
   version (3.0.1-RC1 at the moment). I also get the error message, saying that 
   I have to adjust the settings. Which I have, according to the instructions given
   by Ryan Boren on the wpdevel blog, set to “Point release nightlies”.
 * Even though everything works ok, I still get the message every time I’m on the“
   Updates” or “Plugins” pages on my dashboard.
    (The message disappears when I 
   set the plugin’s settings to “Bleeding edge nightlies”, but I’d rather have the
   point release versions.)
 * Am I doing something wrong, or is my blog misbehaving?

 * I have a fix for this issue and have just checked in version 0.93 which will 
   fix it.
 * It should be available for upgrade in the next 30 minutes.
 * Thank you once again for reporting the bug.

   fixed the problem for me.

 * I’m getting the same warning, set to bleeding-edge after updating today. It says
   I’m using “You are using a development version (3.2-bleeding).”

 * This is because nightly builds for a short while reported as version 3.2 and 
   the API was indicating you would end up on version 3.1 based on your configuration.
 * Nightly builds are now all 3.1 again so once you upgrade the message will go 
   away.
