Normally I checked /admin after doing an upgrade, as that would tell me what version were running (so I could see that we were on the version I had just upgraded to = the upgrade worked).
Since I enabled “admin mode” (which is a good thing in all other circumstances), I need to enter admin mode to see that page although I can’t change anything from that page.
That’s quite a bother for an operation that simple. Is there some other page I can visit after an upgrade to see the version number without entering admin mode?
we’ve got the problem, that the version-check-badge span to the right of the h1 heading is missing as a normal user.
The version number only appears on the help page if you’re logged in as an admin.
Is there a setting to make this available again for non admins or does it unfortunately work as designed?
It apparently no longer works to go to /help, now it just says whether it’s a CE or EE. Anyone have other ideas? Since I wrote the question I’ve also enabled 2FA meaning that I have to enter a code from my phone to enter admin mode, making it even more of a bother.
It is actually enough to just use the URL in your web browser, there is no need to use curl at this point, although you could do from the console but then would require an access token. When logged into the web browser, you will visit the url and see a json response in the browser window with the info you need.
