How to tell what version I am using

There is a file in your blog directory wp-includes/version.php.
Open in text editor and it will tell you.
Some themes in the header it calls the version, so when you look at the source it will show there as well.

Thanks for the response. Here’s my question: I downloaded and (I thought) installed the latest version (wordpress-1[1][1].5-strayhorn). I go to wp-includes/version.php in the unzipped folder AND in the folder once it’s uploaded, and it says $wp_version = ‘1.5’

So, have I actually upgraded, or am I missing something. Thanks again for your help.

<?php
// This just holds the version number, in a separate file so we can bump it without cluttering the SVN
$wp_version = '1.5.1.3';
?>
Is what the file will show when opened in a text editor. If yours says anything lower, I’d try the download link again.

I’ve always looked at the source of your index.php front page. It has a meta:generator tag with the exact WP version (including all the little subversion decimal places.) Hope this helps ?

If you are really using it as per the title of the post (“How to tell what version I am using”) it means at least from time to time you are logged into the admin panel, so just look around – hint: bottom of the page – and you’ll be able to tell the version ??

Thanks, everyone! I’m back on track now.
