Vanilla Version ?

lbox

Hello fellow Vanilla users,
I am currently using a Vanilla forum, which has been running smoothly since May 2017. However, I cannot find any indication, which version it is. Of course, I should have noted this down somewhere, but alas I did not. And the main folder on the server on which it is running is just called 'vanilla' (no version mentioned).
Can anyone help me on how to find out which version I am actually running ?
Thanks in advance !

Welcome to the community.

If you visit the dashboard, you will find the version no. at the bottom of the page on the right.

If it isn't 2.5.1 (and it is unlikely to be) you are strongly advised to upgrade.

Before going to 2,5.1 I'd advise looking into each plugin you have a dependency on and verify that it works in 2.5.1

every version of vanilla also has a way to determine by looking in index.php (pre 2.5) or environment.php (2.5 and later) in the root folder.
