Update notification not working?

[BlueBear]

I deliberately didn't update the current conditions block yesterday as I suspected the update notification wasn't working on my site. This morning I logged in as admin and there are no notifications in the header that I've an update pending?

Anyone else noticed this or is is something specific to my site??

Hi Bill,
so which version do you have now? Do the other blocks work?

[BlueBear]

The blocks are all working it's the notification in the header that there is an update available that isn't.
Current conditions block I'm running version 16 right now.

OK,
use FTP client and look inside "cache" folder.

There should be a file

latestVersions_ + date

Check if you have that file and if so, what is inside it. You can also try deleting it and then re-loading your homepage.

OK from the cache file I see "current":"15.1"
Nuked it and no change

[Jachym]

OK, I think I found the problem, try now.

Hi Jachym,

Same for me, Blocks Setup show three blocks have updates, but there is no notification on the home page. I deleted the 'latestVersions_ + date' file in Cache, then refreshed but still no notification.

That did it, thanks!

Mine is now working again, notifications are now coming up on the Home page when signed in.

[Jachym]

Yes, sorry about that, I always have to run a script which updates the one that is then sent to your servers when they request latest versions.
