Fixing the Plugin Version Mismatch Notice

Note: These documents refer to features and updates in the upcoming v5 release, which will be available soon. Some information may not apply to earlier versions. Stay tuned for the official launch announcement!

IN THIS ARTICLE
In this article, we explain what the version mismatch notice means, why it appears, and how you can resolve it by updating your plugins.
Contents

If you’re seeing this notice in your WordPress dashboard:

Plugin version mismatch notice

Or this notice inside Aggregator:

Plugin version mismatch notice

Don’t worry, this means there’s a version mismatch between the Aggregator Free plugin and the Aggregator Premium plugin.

When this happens, Premium features are temporarily disabled until both plugins are running the same version.

Why This Happens

WP RSS Aggregator (free) and WP RSS Aggregator – Premium are designed to work together. To ensure full compatibility, both plugins must be running the same version.

If one plugin updates before the other, WordPress will flag the mismatch and disable Premium features to avoid errors.

Update Both Plugins to the Same Version

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin.
  2. Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
  3. Look for:
    • WP RSS Aggregator
    • WP RSS Aggregator – Premium
  4. See which plugin has an Update now link.
    • Update that plugin.
    • If both need updates, update Aggregator (Free) first, then Aggregator Premium.
Update now

Once both are updated to the same version, Premium features will re-enable automatically.

If the Premium Update Doesn’t Show Up

When a new version is released, WordPress sometimes only shows the update for the Free plugin right away. The Premium update may appear a little later.

To refresh:

  • Go to Dashboard > Updates and click Check again.
  • If it still doesn’t show up, wait a few minutes and check again.
Check again for updates

Manual Update

If WordPress doesn’t show the Update now link, you can update manually.

Aggregator (Free)

  1. Download the latest version from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
  2. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  3. Upload the ZIP file and click Install Now > Replace current with uploaded.

Aggregator Premium

  1. Log in to your Aggregator account.
  2. Go to the Downloads page and download the latest Premium plugin.
  3. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  4. Upload the ZIP file and click Install Now > Replace current with uploaded.
Replace current with uploaded

Once both plugins are on the same version, Premium features will work again as expected.
